Dear Neighbors, Well, our garage door is broken and stuck open. Does anyone have a recommendation for a garage door replacement company? We now have wood but are willing to consider a metal door. Our bikes are all locked together. I might just chain the dog in there tonight! Thank you. Joan S.

[Highland Park] Curb Alert: Dining Room Table and Chairs
by Brian Shope 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

Hey HP'ers, We've got a fair condition glass top table up for grabs at 403 N. Fairmount St. in Garfield. The top is solid glass, and quite heavy. 2 strong folk could manage it; we did it with 4. It also has 8 chairs (a big plus), but 3 of them need some work (a bit of a drawback). However, at the cost of free, a little bit of wood glue and time could give you a nice big seating arrangement! It would require at least a mini van, although the tetris gifted folks might be able to get it into a wagon of some kind. It will be here until it's gone. ~Yogi Berra Brian Shope Social Media Consultation | MA InterCultural Studies Web 2.0 and Culture | 412.294.3555 If the story is not about the hearer, (s)he will not listen. And here I make a rule - a great and interesting story is about everyone, or it will not last. ~John Steinbeck, East of Eden You can't do it all by yourself; all understanding is social, by definition. ~Rick Levine, Cluetrain Manifesto

[Highland Park] Writing, Editing, Tutoring Services Available
by Julie Costa-Malcolm 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

Dearest Neighbors; I am a Highland Park resident and a PhD student at Pitt, trying to wrap up my dissertation and support my family at the same time. I would like to offer you my services as a writer, writing coach/tutor, and editor. No job is too small (or too large - I've two growing boys to feed). Take a look at what I have to offer! *Services I Offer:* Coaching/Tutoring · Do you dread the blank page? Hate the thought of composing a letter? Want to improve your academic papers? Have a million ideas in your head but no idea where to begin? I have 15 years of experience helping people of all ages and experience levels (from elementary through graduate school) Free the Writer Within. I can help you build confidence, develop a writing toolkit, and find the eloquent voice that's inside of you. Editing · Working on a project and need someone to clean up your phrasing, clarify your ideas, or simply give the whole thing a once-over for grammar and usage? Need to be sure the document you’re composing is perfect in every detail? I am notoriously detail-oriented where grammar is concerned, and, thanks to my experience as a technical writer and a teacher, I have a gift for bringing clarity to complicated ideas. Letter Writing · Want to sound diplomatic and forceful, but don't have the time to play wordsmith? Need to convey complicated ideas to an everyday reader? I'm your woman! Special Occasions · Want to tell someone how much they mean, but find you just don't have the words? Wish you could immortalize your loved one in a poem? I'm here to help! Personalized Stories · Want a bedtime story to read to your little one - with her or him as the main character? Want to record the story of a birth/wedding/first time you met/best moment ever? Give me a call! In addition to these services, I have several years of experience in marketing/PR, technical writing, and web content creation, as well as enough HTML experience to assist in the creation and maintenance of most small-scale websites. *Pricing:* Pricing depends on the scope of the project and the needs of the client, but my rates are very reasonable. If you need my help, email me and we'll go from there. I am even willing to consider bartering arrangements. Thanks, Julie Costa-Malcolm julzlady(a)gmail.com
