[Highland Park] vandalism/paintballs at the farmhouse
by adamvalerie 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

I was at the farmhouse playground this morning and noticed that someone had hit the large play structure with paintballs. It looked fairly fresh, and there were paintball casings on the ground. I placed a call to the city 311 line and the operator said she would inform the parks department, perhaps others could do the same.

Hi folks! In an effort to seal out the stink bugs, I am looking for a handyman to seal up the wall/ceiling around my main sewer stack in our bathroom, as they appear to be entering the house there. High ceilings/plaster walls covered with wallpaper. Thanks Sena Thompson

[Highland Park] landscaper/tree service recommendation
by Jean Siegel 01 Jun '11

Hi neighbors, I have an ugly scraggly hedge along the front of my property that I want to take out. After cutting it way back, I've come to learn that the trunks are a couple of inches in diameters, so I have to hire someone to grind the whole mess out. Who would you recommend? Thank you so much, -jean

[Highland Park] coreopsis
by Amy P. Kennedy 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

Hi neighbors, Just dug some coreopsis (low bushy--but not woody--plant with gold flowers) out of a bed. They're a nice filler for a bare space---they don't get out of control or too tall. They're in bright green buckets on the back stoop. If anyone would like them, help yourself. Take the plant and bucket. 1272 N. Negley (corner of Negley and Callowhill) (stoop is in the alley off Callowhill--first building on the right from Callowhill) Thanks. Amy

[Highland Park] Large Mirror - FOR SALE
by Rob Nichols 31 May '11

31 May '11

Hello Neighbors, I have a large wall mirror for sale (pics attached). Frame measures 45" x 33" (glass is 35" x 23"). It's not an antique but would go well with contemporary or traditional decor. I had it on a wall in my old Victorian house here in Highland Park and it looked great. Asking $50 or best reasonable offer. I'm moving in a month and have no wall space for the mirror in my new place. Give me a shout if you're interested. Cheers, Rob rwnt22(a)gmail.com (412) 432-6122
