We have a full size box spring that won't fit up our staircase. Is there a handyman or helpful neighbor out there who could help us cut the center support so we can fold it? We will gladly pay for your time! Thank you! Julie

From Brad, the owner of the new Local Pet and who was the manager of Smiley’s Pet Pad. Begin forwarded message: From: Brad Scheidmantel <localpetpgh(a)gmail.com> Subject: Party at Local Pet, This Saturday Date: August 10, 2016 at 11:54:02 AM EDT Hi, this is Brad Scheidmantel from Local Pet on Gettysburg Street in Point Breeze. I've been open for about a month and I want to celebrate with everyone who has made this possible. This Saturday, all day, I'll be hosting some great events here at the store. Dr. Gerson from Point Breeze Veterinary Clinic will man an Ask-The-Vet table from 12-2pm, I'm going to have a food truck, BullDawg's, in front of the store from 3-6pm. Steel City Pack Leaders is going to show off some retired greyhounds. There will be an Ask-The-Trainer session in the afternoon. I think Hatch Art Studio is hosting a kids' craft table. My neighbors at Modern Dog have some fun events planned for your dogs. I'll provide soft drinks and beer. Make Your Mark is bringing coffee and brownies. My mom is even baking cookies! Plus I'm going to be giving some stuff away and there will be great specials on pet supplies like 25%off anything Wellness! I really hope to see you there. Ginny will be there as well. I think it will be a good time for dogs too. Mention this email and I'll give you a special gift.

Re: tube TV questions
by Maggie Graham 10 Aug '16

10 Aug '16

Hi everyone, Thanks for all of your responses! I had several people ask me to share my findings. Thanks for the info about not taking them apart, Dean. As far as Best Buy goes, I received many suggestions to take them there. Best Buy stores in the Commonwealth of PA will not accept tube televisions (it's in the fine print of their website). Here are other suggestions I received: -Pennsylvania Resources Council <http://prc.org/programs/collection-events/hard-recycle-collections/west/> has a hard-to-recycle day coming up 8/20, and one 10/1. -eLoop LLC <http://eloopllc.com> in Plum Borough, though their website doesn't mention it they did confirm via Twitter that they accept TVs. -some folks said the South Side Goodwill, though I'd certainly call ahead because I got a few replies saying Goodwill doesn't take them. -1-800-GOT-JUNK as a last resort/if you're unable to move the TV, as they come into your home. -Salvation Army took a few TVs recently (though I'd bet they have to be in working condition). Good luck with proper recycling! On Wed, Aug 10, 2016 at 11:00 AM, Dean <w0rdean(a)gmail.com> wrote: > I believe you can recycle these at Best Buy.

I just placed a plastic table and 9 chairs in the alley for the first taker! In Thalia Way (between Portland and Mellon), 4 houses from Bryant Street. They've been outside for a while and are dirty, but they can be cleaned. Come and get them! Jay Gilmer
