Hello Neighbors, I am in search of a home to rent as of August. I moved to Lawrenceville for a year, and its been a nice experience however I have 4 little children and no backyard! I would prefer to live in Stanton Heights, Bloomfield, or Morningside. If anyone has any suggestions it would be appreciated:) I am successful cleaning business owner. I would enjoy very much to have a backyard, I am a good tenant and look forward to any outreach. Francine Moschella

[Highland Park] Update -- Stolen Rollator/Walker
by Susan Sterrett 12 Apr '11

12 Apr '11

First, thanks for all the sympathetic notes about my stolen Swedish walker/rollator, and promises to keep an eye out for it! I am still looking for it. So far, I have had one tip, sent on Saturday evening, late, about an unusual-looking walker: "I live on Jackson St. & wish your post had been sent a little sooner because I saw 2 guys walking down Jackson St. & turn down Portland walking toward Stanton Ave. The one actually pushing the walker seem much too "able-bodied" to need a walker." Second, I have now reported that my walker was stolen to the Pittsburgh Police (Zone 5), so I suppose you could call the police if you see it and telll them you saw it. The police may not act very quickly, though, so I would still appreciate an email or call ( susangsterrett(a)gmail.com 412-478-0205 ) Here is the description from my original note again, for convenience's sake: It is black and teal: the seat and handles are black, the main metal tubular parts are a bluish teal color; some of the smaller tubular parts are black. It has a little wire shelf in front (near the ground). It has four rubber tires, which are grey. These tires are larger (about 6 - 8 inches) and more substantial than on many other rollators/walkers. It might still have a bright yellow sticker on the front that says "Susan" or "Susan Sterrett" It was made in Sweden about 10 years ago and is no longer obtainable in the USA. There are not many others in Pittsburgh. If you see it anywhere, please let me know! susangsterrett(a)gmail.com or 412-478-0205 Thanks very much! -- Susan G Sterrett Special Faculty - Research Associate Department of Philosophy 135 Baker Hall Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh PA 15213 susangsterrett(a)gmail.com

[Highland Park] Part Time Job Search
by EDaschbach 11 Apr '11

11 Apr '11

Hi new neighbors! My roommate and I will be moving to Baywood Ave this coming May. I am a 21 year old recent college graduate who will be interning at a production company in Pittsburgh. I am looking for a part time job on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I can also work weekends and perhaps weeknights. Do any of you know any places that are hiring? It could be anything really. I am a very friendly outgoing person so perhaps a waitressing job would be best or me. I am interested in somewhere that is flexible with hours and pays well. We are so excited to be moving to Highland Park! Again, if you know of anyone who is hiring please pass along the information! Thanks Again Neighbors! -Liz Daschbach email me at EDaschbach(a)comcast.net
