Anyone driving to Chattanooga TN anytime soon?
by Monica Watt 21 Aug '17

21 Aug '17

I know this is a long shot, but I thought I would try it... I bought a small piece of furniture online this week from a place in Hixson, Tennessee 37343, which is in the Chattanooga area . I am currently pricing out how to ship it to Pittsburgh and I thought heck, if someone from the neighborhood is driving by there, I would much rather pay a Highland Parker instead of a moving company. Let me know...

Has anyone worked with this contractor? I don't know how he got my phone number and I am considering hiring him, but I don't have any references and am wondering if any one here knows about him or his work. Kimberly S Latta, PhD, LSW Pittsburgh, PA

Fitbit Charge 2 charger
by Sarah Heppenstall 21 Aug '17

21 Aug '17

Just returned from vacation but our luggage did not. My Fitbit Charge 2 charger is in that lost suitcase. Does anyone have a charger that I could borrow for an hour or so - or leave my Fitbit to charge at your house -- to fuel up? Highland Park neighbors only; not willing to drive a long way to borrow one; would prefer to walk over and get my steps! When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have established; what are human beings that you are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them? Psalm 8:3-4 Sarah J Heppenstall

Hi there! I am looking for any and all kitchen items that people are looking to get rid of for free or sell for an inexpensive price. I am moving in to the first place where I will be living on my own and realized as I was packing up my things today that can't find anything I used to own except for some Tupperware and a crockpot. I am looking for pots, pans, bakingware, cooking utensils, plates, bowls, forks, spoons, knives, cups, a can opener, etc. Thank you so much! Rebecka Hinson (443) 832-0742

Schedule for Police Firing range off Washington Blvd
by Howard Reidbord 20 Aug '17

20 Aug '17

My dog can’t stand the Police firing range noise so that I can only use the Highland Park Dog Park on weekends. Does anyone know where I can obtain a schedule for when the range is in use, if one in fact, exists?
