[Highland Park] looking for a cello instructor
by Heather Cramer 16 May '12

16 May '12

Now that we've found a tiny cello for our two year-old we're in search of someone who can teach her. I've contacted several teachers in the area but never received responses. Does anyone in the neighborhood have children who have taken cello lessons and could recommend teachers who either teach group Suzuki classes or are willing to work with very young children? Your suggestions would be very much appreciated! Best, Heather

Hello neighbors: I found a pink collar for a dog (or cat?) stuck on a high branch on the tree in front of my house on N Euclid. Thought it odd to find it there. There was a tag on the collar with a phone number, which I called, but haven't heard back. Does anyone know a cat or dog named Gracie? Jamie

I am hoping to restore a few of my smaller original windows in my house, and I could do it myself, but would rather just hire it out. Can anyone recommend a window restoration professional for 90-year-old wavy glass sash windows? Heather

[Highland Park] missing dog
by C.Heather Kropf 16 May '12

Hi all, My neighbor is missing her dog this morning. I'm not a dog person but it has a whitish coat, is mid-sized and pretty mellow. It will answer to the name, Awesome. I think she said her gate was left open last night and the dog must have gotten curious. If you see her around the neighborhood, give me a call: 412-661-6108 at the Nuin Center or shoot me an email. Thanks! Heather
