Hello there, I am looking for a first floor apartment to rent in the Highland Park area. I currently live here, but due to a knee injury, I need to move from my second floor apartment! I am looking for around 625.00 a month if possible, but it is negotiable for the right place!! I am a quiet, clean, responsible person, and I love this area, but unfortunately finding it difficult to stay on a second floor with my injury! Also if anyone knows of another place (not in Highland Park) I will consider that as well!! Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for your time!! Mary Jo

[Highland Park] Upcoming Lenten Renewal Event
by Helen Blier 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

Hi neighbors - This teaser of spring weather reminds us that spring - and Easter - are indeed coming (tomorrow's forecast notwithstanding). If you are interested in a contemplative and renewing experience to mark Lent and prepare for the season, consider attending our day-long retreat/workshop next Tuesday. It's geared for those who see what they do as "ministry," broadly speaking, and will focus on practices of spiritual care and renewal. Email me at my work email address if you have questions - hblier(a)pts.edu. https://pce.pts.edu/modules/shop/index.html?action=program&ProgramID=81 Be well! Helen
