Looking for the driver of a Jeep with trailer hitch
by Justin Cummings 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

Hello Neighbors. About 2 weeks ago I had a small fender bender with a newer Jeep with a trailer hitch that was my fault on Stanton Ave near N Negley. I didn’t think it was a big deal and we both left. There was some bumper damage to my car and my insurance company needs to talk to the driver to verify my claim. He turned onto N Saint Clair. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Justin 412-418-0596

Home Depot Pirate Tow Trucks in Pittsburgh
by gioconda snyder 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

Dear Neighbors — copy a Letter we sent to Marty Griffin KDKAAn incident happened to my wife and me a couple of weeks ago, and a friend suggested that I let you know about it. Here are the contents of an email that I sent to Home Depot Corporate, and to Consumer Affairs. It related to Home Depot: ================================================ I escorted my wife into the Social Security office in East Liberty area of Pittsburgh, PA, and since there was no disabled parking available at the time in the Social Security lot, I parked at the extreme edge of Home Depot's parking lot. After getting my disabled wife settled in the office, I came out with the intention of purchasing window sealant and a set of Philips screwdrivers at Home Depot, my car had been towed! Apparently there is an onsite tow truck and if one does not go immediately into Home Depot, one gets towed immediately. When we approached Home Depot management, they refused to consider anything, merely saying "Have a Good Day!" I think that considering the situation, disability of wife, plainly visible disability tags on car, that at least someone would notify us. When I discussed this with a nearby police officer, he commented that this towing happens very often at this particular HD lot. I think this is a question of corporate lack of integrity coupled with secondary management which apparently doesn’t really care much about customer loyalty - We certainly will never buy one more item from this company. =========================================================== Home Depot’s Consumer Advocate (?) sent me back a “Gosh we’re sorry …”, but that was small recompense for the $250 to retrieve my car from Howard’s Towing Company. When I checked up on Howard’s, it appeared their tow trucks are like pirates – If you leave your car, they swoop down. You might want to investigate this type of pirate here in Pittsburgh. Thanks for listening -- John Snyder

Holistic Counselor
by Susan Rupani 06 Mar '16

06 Mar '16

Creating balance and ease in our lives is often a challenge, yet is essential to a fulfilling life. Over the past 25 years, I have worked as a holistic counselor helping clients find solutions for difficult situations. Holistic counseling supports the body/mind connection, and invites the client to explore the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of their lives. My work is very practical: I assist clients in recognizing and releasing old patterns, thought processes and beliefs that they have outgrown or that limit their potential. In addition to holistic counseling, I provide organizing for people who are making life changes, including divorce, down sizing and/or moving. Our internal lives reflect in our living and work spaces; as we embrace change in one area, it invokes change in all areas of our lives. I currently have openings for new clients. Please call to schedule an appointment or for more information. I want to help you create a life that you love! Susan Rupani Holistic Counselor/Professional Organizer 412-417-6300 SusanRupani.com

Dear Fellow Yogis, This quote says a lot about yoga: True yoga is not about the shape of your body, but the shape of your life. Yoga is not to be performed; yoga is to be lived. Yoga doesn’t care about what you have been; yoga cares about the person you are becoming. Yoga is designed for a vast and profound purpose, and for it to be truly called yoga, its essence must be embodied. ~ Aadil Palkhivala Yoga classes this week include: Tuesday, 3/8, 8 - 9 a.m., 5647 Bryant St. 15206 Wednesday, 3/9, 5:30 - 6:30 p.m., 5647 Bryant St. 15206 Tuesday and Wednesday class size is limited, please let me know if you will be attending.
