Christmas Tree Recycling - Brownie fund raiser
by GS Troop 52470 09 Jan '17

09 Jan '17

Dear Neighbors, As others neighbors have mentioned, the city will trash your Christmas tree if it is curb side, and but you can drop your tree at a yard waste lot. However, our Girl Scout Brownie troop is once again going to fund raise by collecting Christmas trees in the neighborhood and delivering them to the yard recycling for the city for you. We will be collecting on January 14 between 9am and 4pm. We are looking for a donation of $5/tree. Last year, we were able to keep 75 trees out of the land fill and donated $250 to 412 Food Rescue with the results of this fundraising effort as well as our cookie sales! We continue our commitment to returning to our community, and 10% this year's cookie and tree recycling funds will also be donated. We are working with the girls to pick an organization. Please let us know via email if you are interested in having us pick up your tree this year. We can accept PayPal ahead of time, as well as cash at the time we pick up the tree. Last year, some folks left the money in an envelope at a designated spot, so they did not need to be home when we got the trees. One way or another, as other neighbors have mentioned, if you do not want us to pick up your tree, please make an effort to recycle it, rather than putting it into the trash. Brian O'Neill had a good article about this and it also lists the places that you can take care of recycling your tree on your own: http://www.post-gazette.com/opinion/brian-oneill/2016/12/22/Brian-O-Neill-A… Girl Scouts in the neighborhood will be taking cookie orders in the coming weeks. If you don't already have a source for Girl Scout cookies, we'll be happy to take your order when we get your tree and deliver the cookies in February, when they come in. Wishing you a wonderful New Year! Heather Conrad and Laura Myers Troop 52470 GSTroop52470(a)gmail.com 412.606.9263

A large box with a Graco car seat was misdelivered by UPS to my house today. It's for Ryan Minor on Stanton Avenue. I'm up the street and need to contact him to get the box. Can someone help? Thanks!

Frozen pond
by Guido Giuntini 09 Jan '17

09 Jan '17

Hi neighbors, This afternoon, my two children and I were ice skating on the very frozen Highland Park pond when a police car showed up. The officer, a very nice young man, told us that somebody had called them about children playing on the ice. Although all turned out to be fine, and we continued playing on the ice, it is somewhat disappointing that a neighbor would call the police instead of coming to talk with the children's father (me) who was clearly there with them. As the ice was not cracking, and the children (and me) were skating happily, that should have been enough to show that the ice was thick enough for the activity. I would never have my children do an activity that was clearly unsafe. I would like all to think about what you did in your youth. How did things get to this point? We can't talk anymore to each other but need to involve the police for everything? Can children be children and have some fun? Thank you, Guido Giuntini

For sale: NuLoom 100% wool 8x10 oval area rug
by Heather Cramer 09 Jan '17

09 Jan '17

I ordered a rug for a bedroom and the wrong rug was sent (incidentally, we already have this rug in a rectangle, so I do love it but don't want another in the same color). Repackaging it to return is proving to be a huge pain in the neck so I'm trying to sell it locally and use the money to just buy the rug I want all over again. Paid $382. Asking $375 but will consider reasonable offers. First three photos are of the actual rug but lighting was poor; fourth photo is of our living room rug where the colors are more accurate (border is bright pink, not red). Rug has not been used; I only unrolled it to take photos, so has not been stepped on or exposed to pets and we have a smoke-free home. Pick up in Sharpsburg, East Liberty, or I will deliver to Highland Park. Sent from my iPhone

Stereo system
by Mac 09 Jan '17

09 Jan '17

Hi neighbors! My parents upgraded their stereo/speaker system and I'm in charge of their old one. It's a Sony, and works great. It's a 2003 model, comes with 5 speakers, a subwoofer, a DVD player and a CD player. There are long wires for each speaker so you can create a pretty good surround sound system with it. There is even the original connection and installation guide (and actually the original receipt) so you can tell what goes where. Asking $50 or best offer - hope this can go to someone who will get more use out of it than we will! Sara MacLeod (Mac) 508.768.7996
