[Highland Park] Looking for Neighborhood Photographer
by Bridget 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

Hello HP Neighbors, My husband and I are looking for a local photographer to take a few pictures of our family. We don't need anything flashy (no pun intended)...just a few simple photos taken in Highland Park. You don't need to be a professional; we're happy working with someone who simply enjoys photography as a hobby. We're looking to spend around $50 for a half hour session. If this appeals to you, please shoot me an email. Many Thanks, Bridget

[Highland Park] 15 Piece LARGE Christmas Nativity
by Duane Leamer 16 Oct '11

16 Oct '11

Hiya Neighbors, I am parting ways with my LARGE christmas Nativity. It is ceramic and I antiqued the set with a light brown stain. This set has 15 pieces. The largest pieces are the camels. There are 2 standing and they are 14 inches high by 19 inches wide. Mary and Joseph are both 9 inches tall. The Kings range from the 9 inch kneeling king up to 12 inches. I am asking $80.00 obo. Thank you so much. If you have any other questions please feel free to drop me a line. D. A flower's appeal is in its contradictions - so delicate in form yet strong in fragrance, so small in size yet big in beauty, so short in life yet long on effect. ~Adabella Radici

The PO on Old Freeport Road has a machine that allows one to weigh and order postage for packages, too, so you don't have to stand in line. Unfortunately, neither the E Liberty nor the Bloomfield office have this. In a message dated 10/16/2011 8:35:27 P.M.

I commented to him "do you throw these on the ground?!? That's littering." He shrugged and went on dropping them as he removed them. People had hoped to help by grouping them together by zip code or in and out of state, etc. Probably personnel inside take them off anyway so he was doing it in advance. Anyway, there was a pile of what looked like worms on the wet pavement and it was probably repeated many times for a month. I was dumbfounded so I wrote a note and put it in the mail slot inside the PO. It probably did no good at all and shows us that the anti-litering campaign hasn't been absorbed by everyone. But I do agree that the PO has better package rates. -- On Sat, 15 Oct 2011, _JeanJon(a)aol.com_ (mailto:JeanJon@aol.com) wrote: I suggest that we actually use the USPO.

[Highland Park] Possible problem with my rubber band collect for the USPS
by Borne Lynn Brian 16 Oct '11

16 Oct '11

Hello HP Neighbors, I have received many emails letting me know people thought this was a good idea. I had one person who wrote about a postal worker at the Post Office emptying the out side bin and throwing the rubber bands that where on Christmas Cards on the ground. So my suggestion is that you ask your postman in person or leave him a note to see if he wants them back so they can be reused. I hope he is like my Postman and wants them back. Thanks, Brian I know this is a very small thing but I get a lot of mail and it mostly comes with rubber bands. I asked my Postman if he could reuse them and would like me to but them out for him to reuse when I saved bunch. He said definitely that he would reuse them until they where worn out. So I'm asking for all of us to save the rubber bands, if you get them, and leave them out for your Postman when you accumulate a bunch. I try to be as green as I can and reusing even such small things as rubber bands is much better than just tossing them in the trash and imagine if everyone did this how much money the USPS would save over the long haul. Thanks for helping with this if you can, Brian

[Highland Park] Photographer Recommendations
by Allison Haley 16 Oct '11

16 Oct '11

Hi, Several weeks ago I requested recommendations for a photographer and I was overwhelmed with the responses. Thank you all so much! Based on several requests, I am attaching a list of all of the recommendations I received. Not all of the contact information is complete but if you do a Google search on most of the photographers additional information can be found. We opted to go with Libby Hilf and had our photo session today. I have only seen one picture so far but it looks great and we were thrilled with Libby's excitement and with how she worked with us during the shoot. Best, Allison

[Highland Park] Black pedometer lost
by Sam Burns 16 Oct '11

I lost a black pedometer with belt clip either in the Point Breeze area during the garage sales this weekend or on the walk back down Linden Ave and along Penn past Target. If anyone finds it I'd appreciate you emailing me. Thanks.
