This is a unique opportunity to fill your living room with great art. The piece is called "Couch and Matching Chair & a Half" both the couch and Matching Chair and 1/2 have been signed by the artist, one Mr, Whiskers. This signature mostly consists of unique and strategically placed scratches that help bring out the beauty of this Couch and matching Chair and a half. Oh I almost forgot to mention that they come with a free matching Ottoman. Unfortunately the ottoman was never signed by the artist.

by Jamie Contis 02 Aug '13

02 Aug '13

Thank you fellow Highland Parkers for your wonderful support of Massage Heights in Bakery Square the past two years. It's hard to believe we just had our second birthday, but your encouragement and support helped us through the difficult task of starting a small business. In case you didn't know, on June 10 we moved to a larger space in Bakery Square. With the move we are now offering facials and selling Dermalogica skin care products. Introductory facials are $59.99, and our introductory price for massages is still only $49.99. Call 412.363.7359 to schedule an appointment and I hope to see you soon. I'm always happy to meet my neighbors so ask for me when you come in. I'm here more than I care to admit. -- Jamie Contis jcontis(a)gmail.com
