[Highland Park] landscaping question
by SusieSlg＠aol.com 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Does anyone know someone who might be qualified for some minimal landscaping (if you can even call it that) work, in my front yard? I am looking for someone to purchase and deliver mulch and prepare the front yard bed to put down the mulch, after they also edge the front area. It is not a large job so I am looking for someone who would charge reasonably, if interested. Any recommendations? Thanks!

[Highland Park] Title Town Soul Dance Night @ Shadow Lounge
by Gordy Greenawalt 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Tomorrow night, Saturday April 30th, TITLE TOWN returns to its home at the Shadow Lounge to celebrate the good stuff - showcasing only the best rare, uptempo soul, early-to-mid 70's funk, shaking R&B, boogie and a lot more. Along with the usual suspects Jay & Gordy, we welcome special guest and maestro of contemporary modern funk and hip hop production, Orlando "Buscrates" Marshall aka the Sixteen Bit Ensemble to the wheels. He will be in the house throwing down a not-so-common, all forty-five soul & funk set with us. If you're unfamiliar, he's one of Pittsburgh's own. His 2009 debut vinyl release was issued on 7" by the locally-based Harmony Society imprint. Last year, he collaborated with J. Malls on The Top Shelf Collectors mix CD. His most recent project is the debut vinyl release by his super producer group ELQ (East Liberty Quarters) on Rotating Souls Records. Hope to see you there. Early arrival is recommended. Thanks, J & G More info: TITLE TOWN Soul & Funk Party + guest DJ BUSCRATES (PGH) SATURDAY, April 30th Shadow Lounge 5972 Baum Blvd. (E. Liberty) 9 PM-2 AM, 21+/$5; 18+/$8 http://www.titletownpgh.com

[Highland Park] we are looking for a part-time nanny
by Yael Schenker 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Dear Neighbors, I thought I would send this to the list, to see if anyone has recommendations for a part-time nanny. We are new to Pittsburgh, and both my husband and I are now working full-time. We have two kids, ages 5 and almost 3. They are both in school, but ideally we would like someone to help out Monday-Friday in the mornings (7-9am) and afternoons (3-6pm). It must be someone who drives and has a car, to help with drop-offs and pick-ups. We are looking for someone to start in September. We can be somewhat flexible with hours for the right person. Salary negotiable. If you have someone to recommend, please send me an e-mail. Thanks so much. Sincerely, Yael Schenker yael(a)cape.com

Hi neighbors, I'm considering getting some chickens, and it would be really helpful for me to hear more about other people's experiences with having chickens in the neighborhood. If you have chickens and are willing to chat with me about them and maybe show them off, let me know! Thanks. Kayla

[Highland Park] looking for 1-bedroom apartment
by Christine March 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

I am looking for a simple one-bedroom apartment in Highland Park or nearby. Nothing fancy; my primary requirements are security (a safe building) and air conditioning. I am a quiet, middle aged tenant. I have been renting an apartment at the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, and will be graduating (and so have to move out) next month. I would like to move in to a new apartment by May 15; June 1 at the latest. I have a Section 8 voucher, and with it can pay $644 / mo. if utilities are includd; $545 if I pay gas and electric; and $465 if I pay all utilities. If you do not already take Section 8, it is just a matter of filling out a form, attaching receipts for paid taxes and utilites, and having the apartment inspected. If you have an apartment for rent, please contact me at cmarch(a)pts.edu<mailto:cmarch@pts.edu>. Thank you.

by Nicole Burtch 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Hello neighborhood! A handful of people missed out on the beginning of our Adult Spanish Conversation group at the Union Project! (The first group started at the end of March and is still going!). Therefore, I am doing a little search to see if there are interested students for a *new* beginner Spanish group. If you have no Spanish experience or even basic Spanish experience and want to learn more/practice this class is for you! Please, email me if you are interested in learning Spanish, speaking Spanish with others and generally having a good time! I will get back to you with more information. ¡Muchas gracias!
