When are they replacing the Heth's Run bridge? This was in today's news: Highland Park drilling to affect Route 8 traffic Geotechnical research and drilling on Route 8 near the Pittsburgh Zoo will intermittently close lanes in both directions on weekdays, starting today and continuing through early December, PennDOT said. The closures will happen from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and from 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. The work is preparation for replacing the bridge that carries Route 8 over Heth's Run. [The old spelling is Haight's Run] From: <http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/news/pittsburgh/s_764726.htm l> http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/news/pittsburgh/s_764726.html These are the plans that were floating around a few years ago. The bridge replacement is the first step in the master plan for linking the zoo to the Allegheny again. An Adobe Reader PDFs are attached.

[Highland Park] Recycling Shoes
by Angel Cooper 31 Oct '11

31 Oct '11

Does anyone know of any place that recycles shoes? I have a couple pairs of shoes that my kids can no longer fit. They arent in such good shape that I would sell or give away so instead of throwing them away I'm wondering if there's a place that recycles them for their materials (i.e. rubber, strings, etc.). Thank you. Angel Cooper Cakeycoop(a)yahoo.com "Dream as if you will live forever, and live as if you will die today."

Hi, all. I recently found myself leaving a career in the plant business. Though many of my skills will still be greatly-utilized, I no longer have a use for some of my books. I've made a list of them, including title, author, brief synopsis, ISBN # (to make it easier for you to look up more on the Internet), year of publication, condition, original cost (where I could find it or remember it), and the price I'm asking. Willing to make deals for multiple purchases! Thanks! Rachel
