[Highland Park] MOVING SALE - TV must go!
by Treshea Wade 29 Mar '11

29 Mar '11

Check out my list on on Craigslist: http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/for/2293699104.html My living room and dining room sold (thank you fellow Highland Park-ers!) ...but I have only a couple days left to sell my old television. It's an older RCA TV, meaning its not a fancy flat screen HDTV or anything like that, but it is in excellent condish and is a great, wonderfully working color tv. Want it? It's yours for $30. I had it in my living room, but recently bought a couple of new tvs. Comes with remote. -- My best, Treshea N. Wade

[Highland Park] Missing Siberian Huskies
by Kimberly Latta 29 Mar '11

29 Mar '11

Dear Neighbors: Our Siberian Huskies, Baldr (male--red/brown and white, abt 55 lbs) and Freya (female--silver and white, abt 35 lbs) escaped from our yard early this morning and have not returned. I last saw them on Jackson street, near King, heading towards Stanton Ave. We have combed the neighborhood looking for them in vain. They are both incredibly friendly and sweet and will usually go to anyone who calls them. They have collars with our address and phone number on them, and they are also both chipped. We are frantic with worry about them, and hope that one of you has seen them in the neighborhood. If you find them, or think you may see them, please call me: (412) 719-2735 or my partner, Tim: (937) 304-7722 -- Dr. Kimberly S. Latta, Ph.D. 5544 Wellesley Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15206 *All you need is already within you. Only you must approach yourself with reverence and love.* ~Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Hi Neighbors, I am sending this for my husband who is running in the Boston marathon this year. He would like to know if there is anyone else from Highland Park who is running and would like to meet in Boston. He is also looking for a ride to the starting line buses on race day. These are the buses that take runners from downtown Boston to the start of the race. He is staying in a hotel in Waltham. Best regards, Caroline

[Highland Park] in need of umbrella stroller
by Shannon Hula 28 Mar '11

28 Mar '11

I am getting ready to buy an umbrella stroller but thought I'd try the listserv first to see if any neighbors have one they want to get rid of. The more compact, lightweight, and no-frills, the better; if it has a sunshade, that would be an added bonus. Thank you! shannonhula(a)gmail.com

[Highland Park] [For sale] 2005 Gary Fisher, Tassajara Genesis mountain bike: $450 HP exclusive
by Becky Kennedy 28 Mar '11

28 Mar '11

2005 Gary Fisher, Tassajara Genesis mountain bike. Tuned in June 2010 and ridden less than 5 times since. New pedals (one side of the pedals are flat for regular shoes, the other side clips into biking shoes) All greased up and ready to go! It's a really sweet ride. I wish I had time to do it justice. You can see the specs on the Gary Fisher webpage archives: http://fisherbikes.com/bike/archivemodel/178 It's had moderate/infrequent use in general. Tires are in good shape Would be a good bike for someone who needs to replace a mountain bike or get into mountain biking, but who doesn't want to spend retail money. Summary: --17.5" frame (will fit a person 5'4"-5'8") --Deore and Deore LX components --Hard tail, front suspension system, gives a firm but less jarring ride: Manitou Axel Elite w/TPC Lock-Out | 100mm travel --Smaller hand grips and a shorter top tube for its size make this a bike more well suited for smaller-framed folks; though it's still a hard core mountain bike. Selling for $550 on Craigslist, but will come down to $450 for Highland Parkers. Best! Becky
