Thanks to all who responded to my need for wire hangers! I got a lot of great responses and will hopefully be picking up a few more tonight. I'm not sure I'll get to everyone before I leave for Thanksgiving so I just wanted to send this out to let everyone who responded know you're still on my radar. I'll probably send another one when I have all I need. Thanks again fine fellow Highland Parkers! Peace, Alicia -- Alicia M. R. Donner ***PULSE Alumna 2010-11* *http://pulsepittsburgh.org/*

Hi neighbors! A couple of my dear friends are looking to move to the east end from the northside. I just wanted to see if anyone perhaps had any leads on something that may be opening up in the near future. They are a wonderful young married couple and are hoping to move January 1 at the earliest and March 1 at the latest. They are looking for a 1-2 bedroom, $900/mo at most. If you know of anything, you can email them directly at either of the following addresses: Amenbear(a)gmail.com dougnorthcook(a)gmail.com Thanks so much! Sent from my iPhone
