[Highland Park] 8 Antique Dining Chairs
by Darren Belajac 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

Hello I have eight antique dining chairs for sale. The chairs are all in the same style, though a couple differ in small regards from the others. Two are captains chairs, the rest are not. The chairs are usable as is, but they need some love in order to be made into all they could be. (A project I simply don't have time for at the present.) $125 or best offer. Picture attached.

[Highland Park] Recommendations
by Margaret Graham 03 Apr '11

03 Apr '11

Neighbors, I'm sending this on behalf of my neighbor who is looking to do some work on his property. Jim needs someone to do some tree care--pruning or removal, I'm not quite sure. Any recommendations? Jim is also looking for a contractor to work on an existing garage on his property. Recommendations for those would be appreciated as well. Thanks, Maggie Graham

[Highland Park] old pictures of Highland Park and Bryant Street
by Kelly Wilkinson 03 Apr '11

03 Apr '11

Hello Neighbors, I am a graduate student working on a Pittsburgh then and now photo project. I am looking for pictures of Highland Park showing some changes over the last couple of decades. I am especially interested in looking at the Bryant Street Commercial District and how it has developed and changed over time. *Does anyone out there have some older pictures of this strip of Bryant Street that they are willing to let me use? Ideally, I would like panoramic photos from a distance displaying multiple store fronts. * I am happy to accept either digital or printed photos, in which I will give the photographer credit. And, if you let me borrow a printed photo, I will take care to replicate the photo and return it to you in the same condition. Also, I will happily share the project with you once it has been completed. Please e-mail me at klw60(a)pitt.edu. Thanks! - Kelly
