[Highland Park] A few Raspberry plants for free
by Bob Staresinic 06 May '13

06 May '13

In the process of dividing plants and weeding, I pulled out a few raspberry plants that were growing where they should not have been. Now is not the ideal time to transplant them, but if you have space and would like to try, you can have the plants. I will probably have more later in the year, but the other ones I need to dig up are blooming. I will probably dig them up in the middle of the summer after the fruit is gone.

In Act One, the mid-20th century problem centers on a black family moving into Chicago’s white Clybourne Park. In Act Two, it’s 50 years later and the issue is white gentrification in the now black neighborhood. Norris uses Lorraine Hansberry’s landmark play, A Raisin in the Sun, as the starting point for his perceptive and sharply funny play about the minefield of personalities that must be negotiated before a community can be created.

[Highland Park] stuff lost at marathon
by Valerie Sweeney 05 May '13

My kids were helping hand out water at Highland & Hampton, took off their coats when the sun got hot, and left them on the wall of a home there. Does anyone know where lost items collect after the marathon, or did anybody pick up a black lightweight hooded jacket & a Winter Classic Crosby hockey jersey? Thanks....

[Highland Park] EXCELLENT PLUMBERS - Highly Recommended
by Joel Kmetz 05 May '13

05 May '13

Hello Highland Park neighbors, Based on recommendations from you for reliable plumbers, I used two plumbers from the list to locate and fix a serious clog in the main sewer line at my home: . A1 Sewer Cleaning Specialists 412-664-4212: They do only main line sewer cleaning. A1 technicians checked the line from the house to the street connection, and found no clog. Since A1 Sewer does not do plumbing repairs, they recommended I engage a full service plumber to diagnose the problem in the house plumbing. There was NO CHARGE for their service since the could not clear the clog. . Stahl Plumbing: 412-273-1000: Opened the main sewer line inside the house, located the clog (roots in the line), and cleared the problem. Stahl technicians also diagnosed or fixed several other nagging plumbing problems while there. It took them about two hours from start to finish, including the time it took to auger a large root growth from the main sewer line. The charge was about half what I expected it to be, so I was very pleased with that! Both companies showed up when promised, did the job I requested in a quick, clean, and professional manner. I highly recommend them both, and plan to call them again when I need plumbing services. Best regards, --Joel
