[Highland Park] 2 Bedroom Townhouse for Sale
by Shannon Marie Anglero 30 Mar '11

30 Mar '11

My husband and I have lived in Highland Park since we moved back to Pittsburgh in 2006 - and we love it! We are selling our house at 6639 Stanton Avenue, but only because we took on a bigger renovation project in Highland Park! We haven't left the area, and no plans to! Our townhouse on Stanton is a great place - we fixed it up and gave it a nice facelift with new hardwood floors on the first floor (designer style...as seen on HGTV), refinished hardwood on the second floor, a new kitchen and bath. It is the best kitchen you'll see in a house this size...I love to cook, and the kitchen is spacious, bright, and absolutely great. We also added the patio which opens up nicely into a sizeable yard. We loved it there with our two pups and entertained frequently. It's a townhouse, but we had many get togethers at our place - it has a nice flow for entertaining. And, of course, the location is great - right across from the tennis courts that were just refinished last year and a hop, skip, and jump from the park entrance. If you've been renting in HP and are looking to buy - this is it! Tell a friend...a co-worker...a neighbor...looking forward to welcoming more people to this great area! Please see the link below - Thanks! http://www.pittsburghmoves.com/ID/104898 -- Shannon Marie Anglero

[Highland Park] Another stray...
by Kudrick, Rachel 30 Mar '11

30 Mar '11

Hey, all. My partner and I have been feeding a very skittish, stray black/brown tabby. We haven't been able to get close enough to get a picture of her. We believe it's female, and quite possibly pregnant. Anyone missing a kitty? She's probably been out for quite a while, based on how scared she is. I'm planning on trapping her soon (before she has the kittens so that we can socialize them and adopt them out.) If anyone knows of a missing cat, or would be interested in helping out, (or possibly adopting a cute little kitten in a few months...), please let me know. Thanks! Rachel
