I know that I've inquired before about this, but I would love to have a few more good leads on a reputable, skilled and reliable handyman if you have one to recommend. This would be for small, miscellaneous home repairs. Thanks in advance. Patrizia Costa

honey for sale
by Shannon Hula 21 Sep '20

21 Sep '20

Hello, I didn't want to step in on Joanna's turf, but since she's sold out of honey, I thought I would chime in that I am also a beekeeper and have honey available. It is $12/lb and I can bring it to your porch. Right now I have an abundance of spring honey that was harvested in July 2020. It is light colored and flavored by nectars from apple, cherry, walnut, clover, and Russian olive blossoms. In a couple weeks I will harvest my fall honey which is dark-colored and comprised of nectar from goldenrod and Japanese knotweed. All of my honey is raw and unprocessed. If you have canning jars to spare, I will discount your honey purchase in exchange for jars! Thank you, Shannon

Highland Park Reservoir: Student Survey
by Thompson, Nicole 21 Sep '20

21 Sep '20

Hello, My name is Nicole Thompson and I am a part of a group of Civil Engineering students at the University of Pittsburgh working on our Senior Design Project. Our project goal is to improve the water quality and storage of the Highland Park Reservoir. This will involve designing a theoretical drinking water storage tank to be placed somewhere near the existing Highland Park Reservoir. To better understand how this might impact the community and users of Highland Park, we have created a survey! This brief survey takes only a minute to complete and can be found at: https://tinyurl.com/HighlandParkReservoir We appreciate your response immensely! We hope you can share this with anyone you know who lives near or visits Highland Park and the surrounding area. Feel free to distribute our attached flyer. Thank you for helping us with our project! Sincerely, Nicole, Adam, Curt, Jake, and Liam Pitt Civil Engineering class of Fall ‘20

Super Playground Redesign - Community Workshop
by Highland Park Pittsburgh, PA 21 Sep '20

21 Sep '20

HPCC Members, Friends and Neighbors, The Super Playground is the large wooden playground on Reservoir Drive. As many of you are aware, the playground was built by the community in 1991 and was designed to last 20 years. We've been able to extend its life a bit but it is now in need of a full replacement. The new playground will utilize the current playground’s footprint and will be designed and built with the same emphasis on creating a unique, creative playspace. The City, its designer Merritt Chase, and the HPCC are asking for your input through a public community design process this fall with actual construction starting next spring. We hope you will participate! The first community input session is kicking off with a public survey (link below) followed by a virtual workshop at the next Highland Park Zoom Community Council meeting on October 15th at 7:00 p.m. See attached flier. *F**ill out the Survey here*: *https://engage.pittsburghpa.gov/highland-park-super-playground* <https://engage.pittsburghpa.gov/highland-park-super-playground> There is also a place on this site for kids to upload drawings with their ideas for the playground design or for you to share your stories and photographs of the Super Playground. The* Community Workshop* will be held over Zoom and requires registration. *Pre-register for the October 15 workshop here:* *https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYofu2urjosG9cepz5L0Qzd_0bFdu3yD439 <https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYofu2urjosG9cepz5L0Qzd_0bFdu3yD4…>* Thank you for working with us to help create another wonderful space for children!

Old chairs without cushions
by THOMAS WATERS 21 Sep '20

21 Sep '20

I have two old but in fairly good condition mid century modern chairs, but they are lacking cushions. Does anyone know, if these are salable as is, or if making new cushions for them would be required before trying to sell these?

Sunday Porch Concerts Sept. 19
by Sherry Goldman 20 Sep '20

20 Sep '20

I didn't receive any announcement of the Sunday night porch concerts this week, but as luck would have it, one was just up the street from me and I could hear it. They were very good and I would like to know who they were. It was on Jackson just up from Heberton. Can someone tell me who they were?
