Crime alert
by Marissa Hicks 08 May '14

08 May '14

On Tuesday night around 10:00 pm, I was sitting in my car in front of my house on Elgin Street checking my email. I noticed a man walking slowly towards my car in the passenger side mirror. I had a bad feeling, since he seemed to be lurking a bit, so I locked the doors. Not even a second later, he tried to enter the passenger door of my car. I honked the horn several times to scare him away. He stared at me and then said "wrong car" and fled down the street. He was long gone by the time the police arrived. I had never seen him before and am still shaken up (white male, medium to heavy build, 30s, black t-shirt). Who knows if it was truly a mistake or not (didn't feel like one), but please be extra aware of your surroundings, especially while sitting in your car. Marissa Hicks

Looking to Borrow Water Cooler Jugs
by Flavia Musinsky 08 May '14

08 May '14

Hey neighbors, I run an after school program at the Pittsburgh Montessori School in Friendship, and next Friday we are hosting a lemonade stand at the Food Revolution Day event at Obama High School in order to raise money for Beverly's Birthdays, an organization that throws birthday parties for homeless children living in shelters. We don't have much money for supplies, so I'm reaching out to the listserv to see if anyone has a few water cooler jugs (not sure that's what they're called, but see attached image) that we could borrow to hold the lemonade. I would need to pick it up early next week, and return it on the weekend. Oh, and please come to the event to support us and the Obama High School cooking club! :) Thank you!! Flavia

Thank you lovely HP Neighbors for all those who shared info on their homes. My friends have decided that they would like to rent for a year or so first to be sure HP is the place for their family/ 4 kids (kids are small, babies to 10 yrs so sharing bedrooms is ok for now)... and because they want to move asap into the neighborhood. So email me with rental possibilities and i will forward to my friend. mbs On May 6, 2014, at 3:48 PM, Mary Beth Steisslinger <mb.steisslinger(a)gmail.com > wrote: A local executive and friend of mine is looking for a home in Highland Park.
