[Highland Park] Free hydrangea
by Joan Soulliere 26 May '11

26 May '11

Dear Neighbors, I'm looking for a new shady home for a pink/blue hydrangea. The poor plant is on the western side of our house and suffers all summer. I cut it way back in March so it's not sprawling. The plant is healthy and needs a semi shady moist spot. It's about 5 years old and came with the house. I have nowhere else to put it. I'll help you dig. Bring something in which to transport it, such as a tarp. Please email me if interested. Joan S. Farragut St.

[Highland Park] If you're wondering what happened to your garden...
by olga watkins 26 May '11

26 May '11

Today, while walking my dogs, I spotted a full grown doe grazing in the garden a 6507 Jackson. It was a really kind of a nice surprise. Then again, it wasn't my garden. She seemed not the least bit interested in or bothered by our presence. She just kept an eye on us and continued to enjoy what must have been a lovely buffet for her. She must have been hungry since it was already 1030am and there was a lot of activity on the street. I'm sure it's not the only garden that's been sampled by the four legged occupants of Highland Park. So, if you're wondering why your plants look a little ragged...now you know. -- * Pittsburgh City Paper's "Best Blues/Jazz Band or Performer 2010" Best Blues/Jazz Band or Performer-The Olga Watkins Band<http://www.pittsburghcitypaper.ws/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid:88866> * * * * May 29, Bocktown Beer & Grill, Robinson, PA, 9pm, NO COVER, Deck Grand Opening Party www.bocktown.com * * * *www.olgawatkinsband.com* <http://www.olgawatkinsband.com> *www.youtube.com/olgawatkins www.facebook.com/theolgawatkinsband www.twitter.com/olgawatkinsband www.olgawatkins.com Olga Watkins, Diva, 412-716-5119 Go ahead...Google me.

[Highland Park] Suspicious activity again
by MCP 26 May '11

26 May '11

Hey all, I spoke with my neighbor this morning and he relayed this information. About 4am, four guys were seen coming into our neighbor's yard. Their house sits on the corner of Bryant and Winterton streets. Their dog woke the owners and then the owners looked outside to find the 4 guys coming into his yard. The owner chased them out. Then just 30 minutes later a Uhaul truck sort of ran into their pine trees that are next to the alley next to their house---again, it had a group of guys in it...the alley is accessible from Bryant street between heberton and Winterton streets. He couldn't tell if they were the same guys. Please be extra aware and report all suspicious activity to the police. Thanks, Cara

[Highland Park] Not organizing your own yard sale? Consider donating to PULSE!
by Emily Swora 26 May '11

26 May '11

Dear Highland Park neighbors, Located in Highland Park/East Liberty, the PULSE house has brought numerous young professionals and volunteers to Pittsburgh. Check out PULSE (Pittsburgh Urban Leadership Service Experience) at www.pulsepittsburgh.org. This year, PULSE is joining the HP yard sale and we are seeking donations. The yard sale serves two purposes for PULSE: 1) We are expanding, adding a second PULSE house in Garfield. We are seeking household items to help furnish this new home for four more participants. 2) The sale will serve as a fundraiser for PULSE and all proceeds will benefit the program and participants. If you are not organizing your own yard sale this year, consider donating your gently-used home items to PULSE and the yard sale. Whatever can be used for the new house will be kept and other items will be sold. Items can be dropped off at the PULSE house (5615 Stanton Ave) on Saturday, June 4 from 3 - 5 pm. Other times for drop-off can be coordinated with me, Emily Swora (erswora(a)gmail.com) We thank you in advance for your donations, and ask that any large items we are unable to use or sell be picked up at the end of the yard sale on June 5. Many thanks, neighbors! See you at the yard sale! Emily, PULSE alumna -- Emily Swora 651-212-0791 Pittsburgh, PA
