[Highland Park] Pittsburgh chosen as "Best of the World" (Again!!!)
by Dave Demko 25 Oct '11

25 Oct '11

Dear Friends of Scenic Pittsburgh, The newest edition of National Geographic Traveler magazine has named Pittsburgh as one of the world's top 20 places to visit in 2012. (http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/travel/best-trips-2012/ ). Only one other U.S. location, Sonoma, California made the list. The top rated travel magazine said Pittsburgh has "reclaimed its major assets: a natural setting that rivals Lisbon and San Francisco, (and) a wealth of fine art and architecture". This is not accident or coincidence that Pittsburgh is continually recognized as one of the best cities in the world to live in or visit. Pittsburgh has great appeal for many reasons not least of which are our world class views and architecture. Scenic Pittsburgh is dedicated to preserving and protecting this valuable resource from being exploited by corporate interests whose only goal is profit. What corporate manager wouldn't love to see their corporate logo on every postcard and photo of Pittsburgh created and distributed all over the world. Like panhandlers on the street, billboards shamelessly hustle visitors and residents alike to part with their money, 24/7, 365 days a year. Do not think for a second that the billboard corporations care one bit about the impact their industry has on our city, its views, the tourist industry, or our quality of life. Corporate directors are required by law to serve the interests of the stockholders over the interests of the stakeholders. Urge Pittsburgh City Council to BAN THE CONSTRUCTION OF ELECTRONIC BILLBOARDS. I have listed each councilperson's telephone number below. Call and leave a message asking your councilperson to call you back so you can tell them how you feel about billboards in your neighborhood. Pittsburgh is a world-class city, let's keep it that way. Sincerely, Dave Demko P.S. San Francisco has banned the construction of all billboards since 2005. District 1 - Darlene M. Harris - (412) 255-2135 District 2 - Theresa Kail-Smith - (412) 255-8963 District 3 - Bruce A. Kraus - (412) 255-2130 District 4 - Natalia Rudiak - (412) 255-2131 District 5 - Doug Shields - (412) 255-8965 District 6 - R. Daniel Lavelle - (412) 255-2134 District 7 - Patrick Dowd - (412) 255-2140 District 8 - William Peduto - (412) 255-2133 District 9 - Rev. Ricky V. Burgess - (412) 255-2137

[Highland Park] pellet stoves
by Erin sellner 25 Oct '11

25 Oct '11

Hi Neighbors, Wondering if any of you who have pellet stoves would be willing to talk to us about how you have them vented out of your house. We have a pellet stove, but apparently the manufacturer's instructions do not mesh well with the City of Pgh. codes. Making it impossible to have it installed . We do not have a working chimney so we can not go that route. Please let me know if you have any experience with this. Thanks for your help! Erin and Rad
