These chairs have been stored in my basement for approx. 7 years. They have never been outside during the winter!!! They are in excellent condition. They sell new for anywhere between $100-$175 each! They have never been spray painted. The picture shown is a close rendition. The chairs are wrapped in plastic in my basement. If you are interested, I will unwrap them and take actual photos. I am asking $175.00 for the set or best offer. I will be selling the matching table at a later date.

[Highland Park] For sale: Oster Kitchen Center
by Charity M. Grimes 01 Jul '13

01 Jul '13

Oster Kitchen Center- all the kitchen appliances in one! Comes with all attachments, two nice glass bowls, and can be used as a stand mixer, food processer, blender, veggie slicer, and ice cream maker. I'm not sure how old this model is, I bought it used about 4 years ago. I tried it out yesterday and it worked fine, but in the past it has been somewhat finicky, not always wanting to run correctly. See photo attached, $10 takes it. Thanks, Charity

There is still a pile of sandbox sand at the corner of Winterton and Bryant that is free for the taking. I was hoping the people responsible for the block party would be taking care of this, but it’s been about a month since the party and the sand pile is still there. Steve Karl

Hello dear neighbors! I just wanted to extend my gratitude to all of you who responded and gathered materials, whether we had a chance to chat upon pick-up or whether I came and collected from porches, etc.. I am SO thankful for the tremendous response. I think it's safe to consider myself well-supplied with art making materials at this point. Thank you so much for your help in this endeavor! With great joy, Stef -- Stefanie Zito *For all your hooping needs: *Spinster Hoops <http://spinsterhoops.com/> *Join the community: *Steel City Hoop Union<http://www.facebook.com/steelcityhoopunion> *Connect on* Twitter <http://twitter.com/#!/SpinsterHoops> *"You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation."
