Highland Park--Recommendation for Daviea Davis
by Mosovsky, Sherri Lynn 12 May '14

12 May '14

I just wanted to respond to the earlier email about artist Daviea Davis--I can't recommend her enough! My partner and I bought a piece from her a few years ago and last Mother's Day my mom and I took one of her classes. I have about as much artistic ability as a rock so I was a bit nervous about taking the class, but she was fun and a great teacher! My mom really enjoyed herself, too. Actually, my mom was spellbound by one of her pieces so I got it for her for this Mother's Day :) Daviea uses reclaimed glass; I love that something bound for the landfill is redirected to make a beautiful piece of artwork. She's one of the most talented people I've ever met. She's really involved in the community too. She did a fantastic show at Phipps last year; she's also made pieces for the Airport, Court House, and Food Bank. She made the tables at Park Brugge Café too; plus, I know there are lots of others that I'm forgetting. Eco-friendly materials, a down-to-earth personality, and being an integral part of the community, gives her top marks in my book. Bottom line is, if you're looking for a unique gift or want to share a memorable experience with someone, check out Daviea.

Hello all! I'm writing to inform you that Cameroon Football Development Program (CFDP) is hosting a 3v3 soccer tournament on May 16th (this Friday) at 3:15pm as part of Obama Academy's Food Revolution Day. The tournament will be held on Obama's field in East Liberty, the old Peabody building. This tournament will only be a small part of many activities planned for this day that will include food booths, famous chefs, and over 60 interactive exhibits focused on eating and making healthy food. The winning team of the single-elimination tournament for both the girls and boys division will be given 4 tickets to see European teams AC Milan and Manchester City face off at Heinz Field on July 27th. Teams are admitted on a first-come basis and can consist of players aged 14-18 and enrolled in a high school in the city of Pittsburgh. Sign up here: http://www.foodrevpgh.com/worldcup/ If you do plan on attending, donations of lightly used soccer equipment will be accepted by CFDP to send to underprivileged youths in Cameroon.

Free desk (photo included) - first come, first serve. On porch of 922 N St Clair. Metal two-drawer cabinet. Top is my handiwork as a fifth grader (about 20 years ago now). Could paint drawers and clean-up top. Top not screwed down, so can move as two separate pieces. Meg

Hello neighbors, My friend is moving to Pittsburgh in early August and looking for a studio or one bedroom apartment. She would like to live in Highland Park but is keeping an open mind to similarly great neighborhoods. The main requirement is being near a bus stop that can go to Oakland. If you have any upcoming openings or know of someone she can contact, please let me know and I will happily pass along the information. Thank you, Michelle

by margie unikel 12 May '14

There is a great hauling company for junk, debris, etc that I learned about on this Highland Park list-serve. I tried it and they are wonderful. Very reasonable prices, easy to schedule, and hardworking, respectful employees. It is owned and operated by veterans. It is called GI Haul. Phone # 1 - 855-8- GI Haul. They did a great job for me clearing junk from my garage, basement, etc. I highly recommend them. Margie

MCAT study supplies needed
by Alexander Rowland 12 May '14

12 May '14

Hey everyone, I'm going to be studying for the MCAT this summer and was hoping someone had some used study material they could give or lend me. Right now I'm finishing up my Epidemiology MPH and planning a wedding for the end of June so my funds are short but I could try to pay for some of the material. If you just want to lend to me, I could give it back by September. Thanks! Alex Rowland aprowland87(a)gmail.com
