[Highland Park] Your suggestions: Fireworks in PGH-
by Kimberly Latta 03 Jul '12

03 Jul '12

Dear Neighbors: Thank you for writing! I hope the suggestions will continue to come in, but here is what I have learned from you so far: Get a kayak/canoe and paddle down from Washington's Landing. Anyone going to Washington's Landing should be aware that the 31st Street Bridge is closed. The only way to get there is from the Heinz plant (condos) next to the 16th St Bridge Check Lawrenceville in Arsenal Park near 40th street. They have them either on the 3rd or 4th. We always head down towards Heinz Field and walk out to the river. You can usually find parking back by CCAC and getting out after the show is usually fairly easy if you live north. You only need to go early if you want to sit for the show. If you are going to canoe from Washington's Landing and are coming from Highland Park, you may want to cross on the 40th St Bridge instead of going all the way downtown, crossing and heading north again. You cannot get to Washington's Landing from 40th St. The 31st Street Bridge is completely closed. The only way a car can get to Herr's Island is on River Road, which you access near the 16th Street Bridge. Don't go to the Point. Drive downtown, park on the street (it's free obviously, at night) near Heinz Hall or the Benedum, walk to the bridge and watch from there. You'll be back at your car and gone before all the 'burbanites even know it's over. It's a spectacular vantage point, too. Park at Millvale Riverfront Park. Cycle or paddle down to the big city. drive to S.Side and bike down to Station Sq. right under the display. The golf course at the top of Forbes in Sq Hill. It's above CMU. Bring bug stuff. Also, Mt Washington. -- Kimberly Latta, Ph.D. Highland Park, Pittsburgh, PA *All you need is already within you. Only you must approach yourself with reverence and love.* ~Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

[Highland Park] trampoline still available
by AJ Burke 03 Jul '12

03 Jul '12

Come on, neighbors! This is cool! 55 inch Bazoongi Bouncer. This is a great trampoline, especially for burning off that extra kid energy in winter. It is enclosed for safety. It can be used indoors and has always been used indoors, lightly, so it's in good shape. We are selling because no longer have the room. A huge bonus is its already assembled (the enclosure was taken off just so it can fit through the door. It is recommended for under 110 lbs. We put sandbags on the bottom just to make sure it doesn't shift around. $60.

[Highland Park] Selling: Changing pad cover
by Constanza Ehrenhaus 03 Jul '12

03 Jul '12

Continuing our efforts to downsize and start a baby fund, we have a never used Carter's Laguna changing pad cover<http://www.amazon.com/Carters-Laguna-Changing-Cover-Teal/dp/B003FL3B70/ref=…>. It does not fit our changing pad so we opened it, washed it, and then sadly stored it. I hear Carter's is discontinuing the Laguna collection, so this is your chance to get it if you have the rest of the collection. You can see it here http://www.amazon.com/Carters-Laguna-Changing-Cover-Teal/dp/B003FL3B70/ref=… pattern also would fit many other themes and it is gender neutral. These covers sell between $17 and $20, we are selling it for $10. Thank you for reading! Coty.- -- Healthier, greener, and cheaper life: Sensibly Green<http://sensiblygreen.wordpress.com/>.

[Highland Park] guitar lessons
by michael 03 Jul '12

03 Jul '12

Want to play guitar? I can help you. I have been teaching guitar for 10 years and playing professionally for even longer. My curriculum can be tailored to your individual needs and desires; in other words, I can teach you to play the kind of music YOU want to play. We will learn to play YOUR favorite songs, talk about the technique, tone, and playing style of YOUR favorite guitarists, and explore the chord theory, scales, and time signatures that make those awesome sounds possible. We can cover basic reading skills if you wish, and ALL students will be trained to learn songs by ear and easily jam with others. Playing guitar should be FUN, and if you put the necessary time and energy into it, you will be rewarded with the ability to hear the sounds you love come from your very own fingers! It doesn't matter whether you want to play acoustic or electric; rock, jazz, blues, country, punk, metal or folk; fingerstyle or flatpicking; all you need is a guitar and the desire to learn, and we can explore the infinite possibilities of music. Having recently relocated to Highland Park, I will give scheduling priority to students in the neighborhood. Email me at sweetearthflying(a)gmail.com or call me at (478)213-4739.

[Highland Park] Does anybody know what that smell was this morning?
by Mark Dixon 03 Jul '12

03 Jul '12

There was a strange, industrial/smokey/smoggy smell wafting through my bedroom window this morning. I've smelled it before, but don't know what it is. I live near Jackson and Sheridan, but on several occasions I've gone jogging through the smell and found that it doesn't start to fade until I get up into the park near the reservoir at the top of the hill. Does anybody know what that smell is? Curiously yours, Mark markedixon(a)gmail.com
