Recommendation for Robert Higgs Development
by Emily Bayer 01 Aug '18

01 Aug '18

I echo the other neighbors in recommended Robert Higgs' development company for home repair. His team handled both interior and exterior work for me, and everything was done very timely and with plenty of transparency on the pricing. Additionally, I work from home -- and his team was more than accommodating and respectful of that. I definitely plan to call them for future needs. Robert's number is: 412-758-3306 for those interested. -- Emily Bayer http://about.me/emilybayer

Highland Park Dog Owners - Raccoon Rabies Oral Vaccination Baiting 2018
by Monica Watt 01 Aug '18

01 Aug '18

Over the past 17 years there has been a significant reduction in human and pet exposures to rabies throughout Allegheny County. This is largely due to the efforts of the rabies vaccination program for wild raccoons spearheaded by the United States Department of Agriculture's Wildlife Services (USDA), who the Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD) partners with for this massive effort. This year, employees and volunteers of ACHD and the UDSA will be distributing vaccine-containing baits from August 3rd through August 17th across Allegheny County. Baits will be delivered by hand and from vehicles in every municipality of the County. The attached flyer contains images of the two types of bait: One is a plastic sachet (looks like a ketchup packet) coated in fish meal, the other is a plastic sachet enclosed in a fish meal block. The fish scent attracts the raccoons who consume the bait and vaccine, resulting in the development of antibodies to the rabies virus. The risk of adverse effects to humans and animals due to exposure to the vaccine is minimal, but we urge the public to avoid contact with the bait if possible. If a stray bait must be moved, it should be picked up using rubber or latex gloves or a shovel. We are also asking the public to keep their dogs on a leash, indoors, or confined to their property as much as possible during baiting and the week after. In years past, we have specifically had problems with off-leash dogs consuming the baits in parks. Parks are common raccoon habitats and therefore important areas to bait. This interferes with their intended purpose and is a concern. Thank you! [cid:image001.png@01D2D629.35CC7280] Lori Horowitz Operations Manager Housing and Community Environment

great nail salon
by Jana Finder 31 Jul '18

31 Jul '18

Neighbors, I’d like to recommend a wonderful, recently expanded beautiful nail salon in Shadyside I love called BRUSH NAIL STUDIO. The owner (Jimmy) is very sweet, and so is his staff. Their prices are reasonable, and the staff is very skilled. Their equipment is brand new, and everything is super clean and hygienic. They even use a disposable plastic liner in the pedicure soaking tubs for each client. Call 412-758-9908 to make an appointment. They are open 7 days a week! Hours are: Mon-Fri, 10 to 7:00, Sat. 9 to 5:00, Sun. 11 to 5:00. The salon is on Filbert St., off Walnut St. next to the Scribe stationery shop and the parking lot. It is on the 3rd floor of the Whitehouse salon building, which also has an entrance on Walnut St. Take the an elevator to the 3rd floor. Jana
