[Highland Park] pond near the HP pool - UGH!
by susuboombatz＠aol.com 08 Jun '12

08 Jun '12

- drove by the pond this evening (Thurs., 6/7) and it looks terrible! Plastic bags and other trash floating in it and tons of algae.....who (persons/dept) is to maintain this area? More trash cans are needed in this area - I have called the '311' number numerous times last year and nothing happened....maybe someone else has more power to get something done in this area. - also, at the bottom of One Wild Place where you make a right to head towards the HP Bridge or Allegheny Blvd., there is a PAT bus stop there and the area is always full of litter. Is this area the responsibility of PAT, the Zoo or who?? Anyway, a trash can or two are needed there as well (that's just my opinion). If there is anyone with 'the power' to get things done better than calling 311 - please HELP! thanks everyone/anyone for listening! Sue :)

[Highland Park] Piano instructor for children and beginners
by Jen Moriarty 08 Jun '12

08 Jun '12

Hi Listserve! I wanted to recommend Stephen Jarrett for your children's piano lessons if you are looking for an instructor. He comes to our home each week to teach my eleven year old daughter and eight year old son. We couldn't be happier with him. My children look forward to their lessons every week, and eagerly practice most days of the week. He has told me, upon inquiry, that he teaches all beginners, regardless of age. His email address is stephenmjarrett(a)gmail.com. Thank you, Jen Moriarty

[Highland Park] Looking for a portable boombox... of sorts...
by Stefanie Moser 08 Jun '12

08 Jun '12

Hey neighbors, I am looking to purchase/attain a portable boombox/stereo/iPod deck/ CD player... you name it. Basically, just something battery operated that I could use to play music outdoors for some of my (hula)hooping classes. If you have one that is lying around unused, I'd be happy to take it off your hands! iPod deck is preferred, but a CD player is also super. Thanks for your help.
