[Highland Park] concrete
by Joyce Connors 13 Mar '11

13 Mar '11

I have an area of concrete approximately 16x16 that needs to be broken up. I need to know if anybody knows someone who might be willing to do it. It does not need to be a professional just someone with some muscles willing to do it for some extra cash. wabash747(a)hotmail.com

[Highland Park] Embroidery project
by Ava DeMarco 13 Mar '11

13 Mar '11

Hello, My company received several boxes of bags that have a mistake on the embroidery. We are looking for someone who would be interested in fixing the bags by embroidering over the mistake. You would need to have one of those programmable machines, because there are 690 bags that have the same mistake. I've talked to a commercial embroiderer and they can't do it because they would not be able to manually line up each bag. If you or anyone you know does embroidery in their home, this would be a great way to earn extra money, plus you could spread this project over the next few weeks--we don't need all the bags right away. I can send you a picture if you are interested. Thank you, Ava DeMarco 412-901-6839

[Highland Park] Help Clean-Up Negely Run
by Nancy Levine-Arnold 13 Mar '11

13 Mar '11

Dear Neighbors I hope you will consider volunteering for the Negely Run clean up on March 26th in the afternoon. See information below. Nancy Arnold "East Liberty Development, Inc., a Community Development Corporation in the East End of Pittsburgh, along with numerous other partners, will be hosting a 2nd annual larger scale litter clean-up and invasive plant species removal at a site between the East Liberty, Larimer, and Highland Park neighborhoods. During last year's event, over 80 Carnegie Mellon University students worked alongside community member volunteers and environmental experts to remove litter from the slopes of Negley Run Blvd. This event was a huge success that resulted in a very visible and measurable impact! It was one of the largest litter clean-ups to ever happen in the East End; and with your help we can continue to transform this blighted outdoor location into an aesthetic, safe, green asset for the community! Please see the attached flier for more info regarding how to RSVP and the clean-up location." Thank you so much for your help!

[Highland Park] nonresponsive Maids in the City from Living Social Deals?
by leah helou 13 Mar '11

13 Mar '11

Hello neighbors, I was having dinner with some friends last night, and we spent a fair amount of time bemoaning the dust bunnies and dirt caches that plague our otherwise tidy homes. This led us to the realization that we had all purchased a complete housecleaning session from Maids in the City via Living Social Deals, for the agreeable price of $65. Unfortunately, we also all realized that Maids in the City had failed to respond to multiple emails and phone calls made by each of us in attempts to schedule the already purchased service. Besides evidencing an unprofessional and unethical business approach, the situation is increasingly seeming like a blatant scam. Did anyone else purchase this Living Social Deal from Maids in the City, and have a similar outcome? I plan to submit a reimbursement request and file it to Living Social...at this point, I don't really have enough trust in Maids in the City to allow them enter the intimacy of my home, even to eradicate the vicious dust bunnies.
