[Highland Park] car dealerships
by Denise Pollack 07 Jul '11

07 Jul '11

I plan to begin a vehicle search and hope my neighbors can point me in the right direction. I am interested in your experiences with any local car dealers, especially those who have been extraordinarily terrific or dreadful. I'd also love to hear if you have a favorite salesperson or know who I should stay away from. Thank you! Denise

[Highland Park] re: looking for plastic hangers
by Mike and Nicole Carlin 07 Jul '11

07 Jul '11

Hello friends, I am thinking that perhaps some of you may have found your clothing hanger supply has outstripped your need, I am looking for 10-15 larger kids clothing hangers, about 10 clip skirt hangers, and about 10-20 adult size solid plastic hangers or the kind with plastic shoulders with the swivel metal head (no wire hangers please). If anyone would like to thin their hanger "herd" call me at (412) 361-4842 or email, I can pick them up. Thanks, Nicole

[Highland Park] verizon update
by Meg Reilly 07 Jul '11

07 Jul '11

HI neighbors, Thanks for all the terrific advice! An update: I called Verizon and informed the man who answered that this was my LAST call to Verizon about this issue, and that I had the PUC and State Attorney General's complaint websites on my computer ready to file a complaint if 1. this issue was not dealt with on this phone call, 2. I was disconnected, 3. I was transferred back to a touch tone menu, 4. the rep transferred me somewhere without staying on the line to make sure that person could help me. These are all tricks of the trade that they apparently teach in Verizon phone rep school, because I've endured them many times. In any case, he did transfer me to the correct person (while waiting on the line with me) and the woman did (apparently) zero out the bill. I asked for an email confirmation which for some reason her system did not allow (true? who knows?) but she did give me a confirmation number which gives me a bit of reassurance. I'm supposed to be receiving a final bill with zero balance in 7-10 days, and will post an update then as well. Now I have to check if this has affected my credit rating. Again thanks for the support! Meg
