Hi neighbors! A friend passed this on to us, and we never use it. If you'd like it, just let me know and I'll set it on our porch for you. Sara MacLeod (Mac) 508.768.7996

PPS school superintendent
by Valerie Sweeney 10 Jun '16

10 Jun '16

Please take a moment to review this petition to have the Pittsburgh Public School board take a step back and re-evaluate a candidate who has had some issues arise regarding his integrity and honesty. Our school children deserve the very best and it's our job as parents to make sure that happens. We need to let the current board know that we are paying attention, and we want our new superintendent to be held to as high a standard as we hold our students. https://www.change.org/p/pittsburgh-public-school-board-freeze-and-reconsid… Thanks for your time, Highland Parkers. - Val -- Valerie C.

desk lamp repair?
by Deb Polk 10 Jun '16

10 Jun '16

Can anyone recommend a place to get a desk lamp fixed? I suspect it needs a new switch or new wiring. The lamp itself isn't broken. Thanks, Deb "The many, of whom none is individually an excellent man, nevertheless can, when joined together, be better than those [the excellent few], not as individuals but all together, just as potluck dinners can be better than those provided at one man's expense. For, there being many, each person possesses a constituent part of virtue and practical reason, and when they have come together, the multitude is like a single person, yet many-footed and many-handed and possessing many sense-capacities, so it is likewise as regards to its multiplicity of character and its mind. This is why the many judge better in regard to musical works and those of the poets, for some judge a particular aspect, while all of them judge the whole." Aristotle, book 3 of the Politics (1281a40-b10)

I have an air hockey table taking up space in my basement. Since it’s no longer used, I’d love to see it go to kids who would enjoy it. Yours for the taking. It’s fairly large but light (legs come off). Comes with instruction manual. Thanks Elisabeth

Does anyone know how to go about getting "No Parking" signs for our house for the days we have a moving truck showing up? I couldnt find anything on the web about it and was hoping someone knew how to get them. Thanks, Brian McGough

I thought Highland Parkers might be interested in this photo of Hill Road (One Wild Place) from 1908 that I stumbled across in the Pitt Library online archives. http://tinyurl.com/h3owxda It’s described as “A view of Hill Road 400 feet south of Butler Street, looking south. Steps to the 'Zoological Garden' can be seen on the left and a Coca-Cola ad is painted on the side of the building next to them.” Pretty neat.
