[Highland Park] Seeking new roommate in 2 bedroom apt!
by J.a.g. 22 May '12

22 May '12

I have a beautiful first floor, 2 bedroom apartment in Highland Park in which I am actively seeking a roommate to take the second full bedroom as a great new roommate. I have live here for 1 and 1/2 years already, loving everything from the landlords to the house and location itself! I am a 25 year old male currently living with a female roommate, my third female roommate since college, who is moving back to CA for family reasons, leaving the second bedroom available for a new roommate. I work in IT in Gibsonia, Monday-Friday 8am-5pm, and am very clean and super responsible. I am by far the easiest person to live with, never as much as bickering with a roommate in my history (a very good sign, you can even contact them and ask!). This home is very affordable and safe, including security system I had put in place (just for peace of mind), and as soon as you walk in you will be shocked just how nice it is and well maintained. I would love to show anyone interested the whole place, and share all bills ever paid to give a pinpoint idea of monthly cost throughout the year. We just had central air installed, and have washer/dryer and dishwasher in the house. The landlords and their children are people I could never compare to any others, they are like family to us, living right upstairs. I have Verizon FIOS installed since I moved in, and the utilities and rent are unbeatable in terms of the neighborhood, with parking NEVER being an issue. If you are interested, and would like to meet please let me know and I will gladly make time to meet. If you have any questions you would like to ask, or any curiosities, just ask! Aiming for an August 1st move in date (flexible and i can accomodate if needed), with a one year lease, and I promise this is an opportunity you do not want to pass up if this sounds like a fit for you. I hope to hear from you soon, and can not wait to meet a new roomie. Just send me an email, and I will send you my contact info so we can meet up and I can tell you anything you'd want to know. I look forward to your responses, and also to meeting someone new to enjoy this home. Just zip me an email Best Regards, Jason Gaylord (518)-965-8333 Jason.A.Gaylord(a)Gmail.com

[Highland Park] To those who showed up to the monday hip hop dance class at the Union Project
by Jacqueline Walker 21 May '12

21 May '12

There was a fundraiser at the same time as the dance class on Monday at 6pm at the Union Project. They set up a table directly in front of the entrance and were not aware of the class going on behind the screen put up. Apparently they turned away two individuals who came to dance. If you are one of those two people, please come again! In addition, Rosalie is accepting private clients. She is an excellent personal trainer; motivating, positive, fun and effective. She has been helping me with post natal nutrition and exercise and has been so wonderful! Come see her in action at the Union and talk to her after class about what your looking for. She can tailor any program to suit your needs!

[Highland Park] Looking for wood worker to cut 2" thick rounds from 10" tree stump
by Morgan Kraybill 21 May '12

21 May '12

Does anyone in the neighborhood have wood cutting tools that would enable them to cut 2" (roughly) wood rounds from a tree trunk that is about 10" in diameter? I don't have the stump yet either, so if you have unused wood stumps in your yard about that size, that would be helpful too! I'd be happy to share more about my specific project, and of course, to compensate/barter appropriately! Thanks! Morgan (morgankraybill(a)gmail.com)
