[Highland Park] Distance around reservoir
by nicholasjm84＠gmail.com 19 Apr '12

19 Apr '12

Hi all! I got almost 50 relies to my inquiry regarding the distance around the reservoir in highland park. About 3/4 of them said exactly .75 miles around is the distance, with a bit more added on when you include the parts that extend into that reservoir. That was the most popular answer, and although there were other responses all over the map, most agreed 1 lap = 3/4 mile. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone

In like new condition. Purchased this at the end of November Works perfectly. Included are all the accessories that I purchased for it along with the tablet for a special "package special deal". The tablet is wi-fi. I use my Sprint phone's hot-spot feature to get 4G on my tablet. I purchased the fortfolio case ; a lime green back cover ; an extra 30W global AC adapter; a touchscreen Toshiba pen ; a Toshiba multi dock w/HDMI . (there is a cheaper dock with stereo only.This one has HDMI and you can plug it into your large screen television and see everything on your tablet full screen on the television). Netflix works beautifully on this tablet and it has Adobe Flash, unlike the Apple IPad. I just took this tablet to Ross Park Mall and had GHOST ARMOUR screen protector applied (that was $42.00). That really protects the screen and avoids all those greasy fingerprints. Selling everything for just the price of the tablet - $450. (CASH) Serious inquiries only. (412) 213-8117.

[Highland Park] We found your ferret
by Brendan Malloy 19 Apr '12

19 Apr '12

Hi all - Yesterday afternoon (Wednesday 4/18) we found this little guy running around in our garage on Costar Way (in the 900 block between N St Clair and Mellon Streets). He was extremely friendly. Unfortunately we weren't able to keep him (we have a cat) and we were afraid to put him back outside because there are quite a few stray cats running around the neighborhood. We thought it best to take him to the Animal Rescue League. You can contact them at 412-345-7300. ~Brendan
