[Highland Park] IKEA cabinet, with photos
by Constanza Ehrenhaus 20 Feb '11

20 Feb '11

Hi! I am selling this IKEA cabinet for $20 OBO. It has a small drill hole in one door I don't know why. I sent an email earlier and I got a lot of requests for photos, so I figure I'd send it to the list again. The photos are in the following links: http://img145.imageshack.us/content_round.php?page=done&l=img145/5690/img06… http://img248.imageshack.us/content_round.php?page=done&l=img248/6604/img06… Please, let me know if you are interested.

[Highland Park] Hierloom Tomato Seeds
by Thomas Waters 20 Feb '11

20 Feb '11

I have some old heirloom tomato seeds that I'd like to give away. All I ask is that if you take them, and grow them, that you collect some of the seeds and share them with others. They are fairly old, but have been stored pretty well, and so hopefully will germinate just fine. Here are the varieties I have: Stanton Beefsteak Big Rainbow Roma Amish Paste I also have some that were sold to me as Purple Cherokee, but I don't think they really are that, so I've called them "not purple" but I don't know what they really are. I will be able to share these within the next two weeks, if anyone would like to give them a try. -- Thomas C.

[Highland Park] Stray bullets near Sunoco Station on N Negley near Broad
by Justin J. Cummings 20 Feb '11

20 Feb '11

I know that some people have posted on here about the lawlessness that occurs in and around the Sunoco gas station on Negley near Penn Ave. On Friday night a HP resident was riding his bike home, heard gun shots, felt his leg stinging, saw some men running and realized when he got home that he'd been shot in the leg. Luckily it didn't break any bones or hit any arteries and he is in good spirits and happy to be alive with all things considered. The police did catch the men responsible. I would say, "be careful" to everybody out there, but you really can't watch out for stray bullets. Here's the P-G article about it. http://post-gazette.com/pg/11050/1126692-100.stm#ixzz1ERD5i3wx P.S. I'm not related to the man who was arrested. Just a coincidence of last names.
