29 Sep '10

Hi, Neighbors: I am looking for a company or person who can help me with fall lawn maintenance, flower bed clean up, bulb planting and (maybe in spring) relocating our veggi garden. I want to stay "green" and/or organic, so I need a gardner who knows about organic or natural fertilizers, etc. Any recommendations? Thanks, Morgen on Greystone =

[Highland Park] East Liberty Post Office
by SR 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

I hear a lot of complaints about the service at the E.L. Post Office. The main issue seems to be that there is only one window open for the many people in line. When the line is to the inner door with probably a dozen people waiting, the service, while pleasant when you finally reach the window, is just too slow. One does not experience this in Bloomfield or on Freeport Rd; two notably better post offices. Even more frustrating in E.L. is that occasionally another worker walks through, does not acknowledge the people waiting and disappears without helping or summoning others to help. I know that many arriving customers see the long lines and angrily go elsewhere or return at a later time which is an extremely frustrating waste of time and energy. I would be interested in hearing the experiences of others so that we can make those in charge aware of the inconvenience. Perhaps the Highland Park Club can send a letter to higher authorities and/or our city representatives can get involved or the Post Gazette can make the situation known. I do not think that this can be blamed on "cut-backs" as it has been the case since I came to the area 20 yrs. ago and other P.O.'s seem to be able to give good service. Please send your comments to me or the HP site so that something can be done. Considering the number of potential customers, our neighborhood should have a good, efficient reliable post office.

by Heather Riese 28 Sep '10

Hello! The Holiday/Christmas shopping time-of-year is fast approaching. So, now is a GREAT time to get your nice quality, but unwanted stuff on Ebay!! E-bay shoppers are looking for bargains, so if you have antiques or collectibles this is a great place to earn extra $s! Antique jewelry, even costume are very nice items to sell! (I would like to not sell glassware or furniture, because items need significant TLC to ship!) I am looking for one or two clients to help sell their stuff. I specialize in taking good quality photos of your items, because nice photos attract the buyers! I have 494 feedbacks on Ebay and all are 100% positive! I also have Power Seller status! Here's my feedback link: http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=her3399&ftab… My seller rate is 30% of the cost of the sold item. Ebay and paypal fees will equal about 20%. So, you'll take home 50% and I'll do the rest! I will -- *Research your item on ebay before listing *Take high quality photos *Write the items' descriptions *Respond to potential buyers' questions *Package and ship items *Maintain my 100% positive status on Ebay! If you are interested please email at h_riese(a)hotmail.com I have sold for Highland Park neighbors in the past and will be glad to supply you with their recommendation. ; ) Thanks, Heather Riese Date: Mon, 27 Sep 2010 11:07:47 -0400 From: neighborhood-request(a)highlandparkpa.com Subject: Neighborhood Digest, Vol 83, Issue 80 To: neighborhood(a)highlandparkpa.com Send Neighborhood mailing list submissions to neighborhood(a)highlandparkpa.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.highlandparkpa.com/mailman/listinfo/neighborhood or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to neighborhood-request(a)highlandparkpa.com You can reach the person managing the list at neighborhood-owner(a)highlandparkpa.com When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Neighborhood digest..." --Forwarded Message Attachment-- From: eddiebeddie(a)aol.com To: neighborhood(a)highlandparkpa.com Date: Sun, 26 Sep 2010 12:16:16 -0400 Subject: [Highland Park] Leather jacket repair So I bought a great leather jacket at Wilson's for 80% off in Delaware.
