[Highland Park] Is this your cat?
by Rebecca Maclean 23 Mar '12

23 Mar '12

This very friendly and obviously tame black and gray shorthair tabby cat is hanging out on the 6400 block of Jackson Street. We don't recognize it so we wanted to see if anyone nearby was missing their cat. Please let us know if you are and we'll try to corral the cat for you. Thanks, Becky

Hello, My name is Mike Dzatko and I live on the corner on N. Highland and Bryant, in the tall apartment building. This morning, around 8:30am, I lost my wallet between the Bryant St Market and the side door of my building. A neighbor recommended that I use your site in the hopes that someone might see the post and return my wallet. Thank you for any help you can give, Mike

[Highland Park] Fit a Full Size Bed Headboard to a Queen Bed - Modi-Plate For Sale
by Lydia Blank 23 Mar '12

23 Mar '12

Hi neighbors, I bought a queen bed modification plate set online to connect a double bed headboard to fit onto our queen size bed and I can't seem to figure out how to make it work.... I spent $16.95 on the hardware. http://www.bedframeparts.com/modiplates.htm It's been too long since I made the purchase (Jan 2012) and the company won't accept my return without charging me a restocking fee... Anyone interested in buying this from me? Lydia

[Highland Park] Recommendations for Plumber to snake outdoor drains
by Todd Shirley 23 Mar '12

23 Mar '12

Thanks to everyone who responded to my request for recommendations! Here's what I got: 3 recommendations for A1 Sewer Cleaning - 412-664-4212 2 recommendations for Mark Seigle - 412-681-9091 1 recommendation for Roto Rooter: "Roto rooter was fine - comes when you want and on time and cleaned out the drains without incident, not cheap, though. (About 350 for 2)" I called A1 & Mark Seigle and A1 got back to me within a couple hours so I went with them. They were fast and professional and now my lawn drain is open. It cost $150 because I had them try another drain in my garage that it turns out had totally collapsed and there was nothing they could do. I would definitely recommend them! -Todd Shirley
