Bryant Street Parklet Kick-off Events, Oct 24 & 25
by Highland Park Pittsburgh, PA 28 Oct '20

28 Oct '20

This past weekend the HPCC hosted two events to mark the “opening” of the new community greenspace on the corner of Bryant Street and N. Euclid Ave. This new parklet is the result of a unique agreement between the HPCC and the property owner, the Highland Park Community Development Corporation (HPCDC). On Saturday, approximately 30 volunteers came out for a *Neighborhood Cleanup *to beautify the space – amazing considering the cool, damp weather! *Thank you Colley, Sam, Lauren, Renee, Peter, Kathleen, Juliana, Laura, Andrea, Jim, Ava, Lucy, Mary Beth, Tim, Jonathan, Troy, **Frank, **Sabrina, Bob, Justin, Mac, Howard, Anna, Zoe, Randy and any I missed!* Special thanks also to* LaScola’s* for providing coffee and cider for our volunteers, and to *Grounded Strategies* for providing the tools. On Sunday, the parklet was transformed into a Pumpkins Patch! Upwards of 200 visitors came by and explored the parklet, chose pumpkins, enjoyed the decorations, and visited Shelob’s den (or was it Aragog’s?). The HPCC also distributed children’s Halloween craft packs and worksheets for drawing Super Playground redesign ideas. Special thanks to *Bryant Street Market* for co-sponsoring the event - - *and thank you to all the folks who generously donated to the Vintage Senior Center and the HPCC. * Attached are a few pictures of the events - - *To read more about both events and see lots of pictures, visit https://hpccpgh.org/ <https://hpccpgh.org/> . * Stephanie Walsh HPCC President -- *Highland Park Community Council* Visit our website by clicking here. <https://hpccpgh.org/>

Pitt Study for Teens and Caregivers
by Jamie Hanson 27 Oct '20

27 Oct '20

Hello HP Listserv, Colleagues at Pitt were trying to recruit families with teenagers between 14-16 years of age, to complete some surveys online. I thought I would share that info below. Please feel free to share the announcements with others, etc. Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy, Jamie. ---- Summary of the FInD study: Our project is looking for teens between the ages of 14-16 years old and one of their parents. We are hoping to better understand family income on parenting, stress and teen perceptions. We believe teen perceptions have a strong impact on school engagement and motivation. Our project hopes to better explain how these experiences affect families. Surveys are completed (at home/online) once a month for a period of 8 months. Survey questions are related to family finances, stress, school performance and parenting. Parents and teens are compensated for participating (about $250 each). If interested, contact Dani or Kelly at 412-624-7925 (and reference the FInD study).

For Sale - New, Hardly Used, 21.5 in iMac
by Tricia Ruggeri 27 Oct '20

27 Oct '20

I recently purchased a 21.5 iMac in April this year, and have found it to not be the best fit for my computer needs. It is the second "buy-up" <https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/imac> option, with the additional customizations of a 1TB Fusion Drive and a keyboard with the numeric keypad on the right side. It's also covered with AppleCare+ that was purchased at the same time. Still have original box, all accessories included. Would even throw in the leather mousepad too. Happy to show any receipts, and forward proof of AppleCare+ coverage. Asking $1500 (paid $1650). Thanks! -- *tricia ruggeri* *412-860-8604* *linkedin* <https://www.linkedin.com/in/tricia-ruggeri-5ab41a76/>

This article in the Trib says Highland Park will be next in line, but doesn’t say how we will get them. Will they be delivered to the house, do we have to go somewhere to get them? Does anyone know?
