[Highland Park] affectionate young cat searching for a good home
by Anne McCafferty 23 Jan '11

23 Jan '11

I found a beautiful semi-frozen kitten on Friday night crying on the bus shelter side of Stanton Avenue near Jancey Street. I have been unable to locate whom he may belong to but he is definitely a home-oriented cat. He seems to be about 8 - 10 weeks old, is very affectionate, and has a velvety gray coat with a white necklace patch under his throat. Seems to have a streak of Siamese around his ears. We have an older "only cat" at home who is not pleased with this playful intruder so it is best that he have his own loving home. Please email me if you'd like more information.

Hello, My fiance and I are getting married this summer and looking to buy a house in Highland Park. We have not yet signed with a realtor, but have a specific person in mind with whom we will sign in February if we have not already found a home that we wish to buy (realtors need not reply to this message). If you are going to put your house on the market this spring, please consider letting us know at your earliest convenience. Thanks, and hope to hear from some of you soon, Nick and Rebecca

Thank you for all of the recommendations for show repair shops. There were two standout winners: Palermos on Butler St. in Lawrenceville (near 62nd St bridge) Fox Chapel Shoe Repair in the Fox Chapel Plaza by Loafers Bread, Don Royal Cleaners, etc I used Fox Chapel shoe repair and they were wonderful. Polite, reasonably priced and fast. Really good service from very sweet people.

Hi! I have a small bag with baby announcements, baby shower little thingies (plastic rattlers, diaper pins, strollers, bottles, etc) and a few ribbons that need to go to a good home. My MIL gave them to me after the baby shower she threw for us but I really have no use for them. I was going to freecycle them but I thought to offer them in HP first. best! Coty.-

Hi, neighbors, As many of you know, last summer I started writing a book, Saving Our Public Libraries: Why We Should. How We Can, because of the library funding crisis here in Pittsburgh and across the U.S. This book is now available. My book provides page after page of library funding successes, best practices, expert advice, and innovative funding ideas from 50+ library experts across the nation. More about the book and a link to my website where you can see the beautiful cover (the magical entrance to the children's room at Old Worthington Library, OH) is below. This book is an empowering book for libraries and library supporters. Please let any library you care about know that this book is available with funding ideas and practices that can help them. Thank you. janet jai SAVING OUR PUBLIC LIBRARIES: WHY WE SHOULD. HOW WE CAN. by janet jai An empowering book for libraries and library supporters! Success Stories, Best Practices, Expert Advice, and Innovative Ideas from 50+ Library Experts This book can help public libraries survive NOW and thrive in the long-run. It empowers libraries and library supporters with tools and hope. It provides page after page of ways to get operational funding, the kind of funding that keeps public library doors open.
