walking in Highland park tonight - could have been a better experience
by Christine Frechard 04 Aug '20

04 Aug '20

We were quietly enjoying an evening walk when 2 elderly persons stopped us to comment aggressively that we were not wearing masks. I was waving at the lady while she was making signs for us to move away from them , in an unfriendly way. Then we heard that Gov Wolf said that it was mandatory to wear masks in public and a sidewalk is a public space,and blablabla... I just checked and gov Wolf recommended a mask in public space* or 6 ft away.* Please people , calm down and be kind to others. And if you freak out that much, please stay home or walk away from people not wearing masks in the neighborhood . This type of fearful and aggressive attitude is really not helping to lift our mood during the current pandemic. Relax, relax, relax and keep a smile on your face.

Sending for a neighbor: Ally, a short-haired grey cat got out this afternoon around Stanton and Farragut. She is wearing a blue tribal collar. She is described as friendly and responsive to her name but may have been scared by the storm. If you see her, please let me know. Thank you, Melanie

Hi neighbors, I'm in need of a LOT of large pieces of cardboard for a gardening project (ideally already flattened). If you have a bunch that's waiting for recycling to come around again in two weeks, I'm happy to get it out of your way before then! Best, Marie

Hey, I'm looking to buy, rent, or borrow some crash pads for this weekend. I'm looking at a few to purchase from REI, but they don't have any in stock in Pittsburgh and would rather avoid the oversize shipping charge. Let me know if you have one! Thanks, Sarah
