[Highland Park] For Sale- trunk from "Pittsburg"
by Pam Morrison 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

This old steamer trunk has the initials GR on the side along with the word Pittsburg, which was the spelling for Pittsburgh only from 1890 to 1911. It has been around and is showing its age, but is still very sturdy. Has an inside removable shelf but the bottom of that shelf was a thin board and will need to be replaced. The trunk was originally covered in fabric and not much of that remains except on the sides, but given its age that is no surprise. Cool old piece of Pittsburgh history. 34"w x 22"h x 19"d $35. 4 Attached files| 9.7MB 1. 2012 dec 022.JPG 2. 2012 dec 021.JPG 3. 2012 dec 025.JPG 4. 2012 dec 024.JPGView SlideshowDownload All "Perfect balance is an illusion-- just try for upright."

[Highland Park] Get your party on at the Union Project!
by Carol Royall 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

The season for gathering and celebrating is here! Why not throw a party for your family and friends or for your employees or volunteers? Any reason is a good reason to get together and why not get together at the Union Project? A party at Union Project is easy. We have the space, tables, chairs and sound system. You bring the food, music and people. What could be easier than that? (Anyone have a gaming system and the Just Dance game? It could be epic.) Whether your gathering is for 10 or 200, we have a space for you. There are a limited number of December dates available. Feel free to give me a call or send an email so we can discuss how you can host a party to remember in our space. Also, please remember us for your business/organization meeting needs. From brainstorming ideas to a full blown retreat, we have a space that will suit you. Happy holidays! -- Carol Spencer Royall**** Director, Quality Experience Union Project 801 N. Negley Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15206**** phone: 412.363.4550x221** fax: 412.363.1216 ** ** * *

[Highland Park] Typewriter
by Jennifer Defoe 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Hello, My young son has become enamored of that relic, the typewriter. He included it in his Christmas letter to Santa and mentioned several times how he hopes Santa will bring him one. Does anyone have an old working typewriter they would part with for a reasonable price to make a little boy's Christmas wishes come true? Thanks! Jennifer
