[Highland Park] School and Soccer!
by Nicole Trombley 12 Aug '11

12 Aug '11

Hi neighbors,We just moved into a house on Portland St. in May and I'm curious if any of your children attend the Frick Park Environmental Charter school? Our son starts K in a year and we are at the beginning of the "waiting list" process. I'm curious about where other HP kids attend and if you're happy with you experiences. Also, we'd like to sign him up for fall t-ball and soccer...any suggestions for good club programs or city leagues? We want to know where the neighborhood kids play! Thanks so much, we love it here!

[Highland Park] Free: Ikea Billy bookshelf
by Stacey Becker 12 Aug '11

12 Aug '11

In case there's anyone left who doesn't already have a million of these, and wants another... Free for pickup in Morningside, a white six-shelf Billy bookshelf. It's yours free if you'll pick it up, on Baker Street by the zoo. I'll haul it out to my front porch for you to pick up, but you'll need to get it down the front steps, so you'll probably want a second person to ease the pickup process.
