[Highland Park] seeking strong person to carry heavy a/c
by Deb Polk 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

Can anyone recommend a mover to carry an extremely large and heavy air conditioner (from 1967) from my third floor down to the street? I want to take advantage of the "Allegheny County Health Department program offering FREE curbside pickup and recycling of refrigerant-containing appliances which are no longer in use and need to be discarded. This limited time offer includes refrigerators, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, water coolers, and freezers." http://www.twpusc.org/appliances.pdf I want someone who has insurance just in case something inadvertent happens. Can anyone recommend someone? Thanks, Deb Polk "The gross national product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages, the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials. It measures neither our wit nor our courage, neither our wisdom nor our learning, neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country, it measures everything in short, except that which makes life worthwhile." Robert F. Kennedy address, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas, March 18, 1968.

[Highland Park] car vandalism, again
by Lynne Porterfield 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

Sometime during the night (Monday) a bullet or BB shattered the glass of a parked car on Grafton St. It looks as though the projectile entered the side window, creating a small hole, and exited through the rear window, shattering the glass in the side and rear windows. The car is a station wagon so the window extends the width of the back of the car. Neither we nor the dog heard any noise, but the windows of the car were intact yesterday. This follows an incident last week where someone apparently spray painted houses and cars on the the same street. Locking car doors doesn't help with this type of vandalism. I called 911 to file a report.
