Can someone tell me why the weather influences the ability of owners to pick up after their pooches? Some of us clean up what we come across for fear of stepping in it , or our dogs coming across it. I come across some really frozen stuff that can't be cleaned but does it really have to come to that? The Parks folk have kept the bag dispenser full, so that's no excuse. Please pick up after your own. Frank fncz

Hello Highland Parkers --- https://pittsburghgirlschoir.com/about-pgc/women-of-song/ Women of Song will start this spring -- running Wednesday nights (7 - 9 pm) at St. Andrews on Hampton St. in February, March, and April. Women of Song is an inter-generational choir for women. Started in 2014, it seeks to be a safe, supportive environment for women to achieve a high level of choral singing. It is a place to get into or back into singing, learning high-quality repertoire and healthy vocal production. Women of Song offers learning opportunities for those who want to get into choral singing, and leadership opportunities to women with advanced skills. Rehearsals start *Wednesday, February 7 at 7 pm* Last rehearsal is Wednesday, April 25 Concert is *Saturday, April 28* -- we will aim for two afternoon performances (1 for the nursing home and 1 for friends/family) at St. Andrews Episcopal Church Registration and more info can be found here: https:// pittsburghgirlschoir.com/about-pgc/women-of-song/ If you have strong feelings about your voice placement, please let me know. I will also happily audition you for voice placement! We've moved the *tuition aspect of Women of Song to a sliding scale*. We hope this allows everyone who wants to participate the ability to do so. If tuition presents a problem for you, please don't hesitate to ask for assistance. Alternatively, if tuition presents no problem for you -- consider donating to support other choristers. This program runs solely on tuition collected. I'd be delighted for you to join us -- let me know if you have any questions. Excitedly, Emily -- Emily Swora 651-212-0791 Pittsburgh, PA

I’m finding it impossible to find 100% cotton long inseam (36”) sweatpants – 33” waist. Any helpful links would be greatly appreciated. I’m almost ready to buy a sewing machine and learn to make them myself. Any tailors that would make them would be a consideration. Thanks! Steve Karl

by Nora Fisher 07 Jan '18

Just wondering if anyone is experiencing a water outage. We have no water in our apartment right now and I'm just trying to figure out if it's a building thing or a PWSA thing (nothing on the PWSA website suggests that our water would be out). Thanks!
