mold evaluation?
by Susan Sunseri LeDonne 17 Aug '21

17 Aug '21

Hello neighbors, Has anyone here had to use a company to come in and assess the presence of/severity of black mold? We have a need for this in our rental property, but I worry that someone may tell me a problem is worse than it is! If anyone has worked with a company or individual that they found to be trustworthy, I'd appreciate knowing who that is! Thanks much, Susan

Hi neighbors. I’m posting for my elderly father. I’m in search of a small refrigerator to borrow for a week or two while he waits on a part to get his repaired. If you’re able to lend one to him for a short time, I would be so grateful! Thank you, Liz

Gain an extra recycling can?
by Emily Bayer 16 Aug '21

16 Aug '21

Hello, We're down a recycling can after a recent week's pickup. Thinking the pickup team just set it in front of the wrong house, one of the city's and easy to do. Could use it back, though, if you're near the 900s of N Saint Clair and have an extra, could you let me know and I'll come pick it up? Thanks! -- Emily Bayer http://about.me/emilybayer

Fwd: City Launches New and Improved Website for City Parks and Trails
by Highland Park Community Council 16 Aug '21

16 Aug '21

*Published:* 08.16.2021 *Contact:* Molly Onufer Communications Director Mayor's Office 412-579-8534 molly.onufer(a)pittsburghpa.gov City Launches New and Improved Website for City Parks and Trails PITTSBURGH, PA (August 16, 2021) Today, the City of Pittsburgh Office of Mayor William Peduto, Departments of Innovation & Performance (I&P), Parks and Recreation, and Public Works (DPW) have launched CitiParks, the city’s first official comprehensive and interactive public parks, recreation and trails website. The CitiParks website provides detailed information about attractions, event shelters, public art, and amenities as well as interactive maps and more for the city's five Allegheny Regional Asset District parks (Schenley, Frick, Riverview, Emerald View, and Highland Parks). The site also features information and resources on the city’s 10 Community Parks, riverfronts, and 150 Neighborhood Parks. I&P has mapped over 160 miles of trails using a high accuracy GPS unit to compile the first-ever comprehensive trail map of Pittsburgh that includes trails through parks, greenways, and riverfronts. The trails are categorized by difficulty and display elevation information to give the public a resource to plan their trips. This data will also be used internally for planning, maintenance, and public safety purposes. “This critical information had been missing for far too long,” said Mayor Peduto. “We have always known the social, health and economic impacts of having access to park and recreation space, but during the pandemic we all saw firsthand how much we relied on our parks. Now, we’re able to provide the people of Pittsburgh with a place to learn about their parks like never before.” The website combines the new features and tools with all existing relevant park information in one convenient landing page, which features the public’s most sought after park resources in one place including: - Parks & Trails - Swimming Pools - Spray Parks - Sports Fields - Park Rangers - Shelters - Recreation Centers - Special Events - Parks Maintenance “So many City Departments work collaboratively for the good of our parks,” said Ross Chapman, Director of the Department of Parks & Recreation. “Providing quality parks and critical programming is a team effort. For the public however, it was becoming confusing to find information. Housing it all under the CitiParks banner makes the most sense.” The City of Pittsburgh’s official website for its park system is available for the public, community groups, and partner organizations at citiparks.net or pittsburghpa.gov/citiparks. This project was made possible through the collaboration of several departments and staff. The project was managed by James Hill of the Office of the Mayor. Park and amenity information was provided by Tom Paulin, DPW Superintendent of Parks, and numerous helpful staff from DPW and Parks and Recreation, including Allison Botti and Sue Lucas. The trails were mapped using GPS by Matt Jacob of I&P’s Applications team. The website was created by I&P’s GIS and Communications Services teams, including Smyth Welton, Thomas Allison and Giovanni Svevo. Park historical information was provided by Nick Hartley and Charles Succop of the City Archives. ------------------------------ .

Kitchenaid Food processor parts
by Valerie Sweeney 16 Aug '21

16 Aug '21

My cobalt blue Kitchenaid food processor circa 1995 finally died - I somehow seized the motor. I have however multiple attachments: two shredding discs (one slices on the other side), a dough hook, an adapter post. The top and feed tube still works, but the body/11-cup bowl of the processor is frozen onto the base with the standard chopping blade. You are absolutely welcome to take all and see if you can fix it (I could not). But if you have a similar model food processor, you may want the shredding blades and dough blade. Let me know and I can leave it on my porch for you! This is it in its prime: https://www.amazon.com/KitchenAid-KFP600-11-Cup-Processor-Cobalt/dp/B00004S…

Movie Shoot on Elgin Street
by Highland Park Community Council 16 Aug '21

16 Aug '21

Hi All, Just a heads up that later this week (August 6, 9, and 17 - 20), the crew filming the new Billy Porter production, "What If?", will be finishing up shooting in the neighborhood; post production strike/clean-up may continue through Aug 26. Parking and traffic (including foot traffic) will be impacted intermittantly on Elgin between N. Euclid and Mellon, plus one block north and south of Elgin on N. Euclid and N. St. Clair. The production team should have already notified residents of these blocks of the specific parking and traffic limitations. Some production vehicles will be parked in the parking lot east of the park entry gardens, but the majority of the vehicles will be based in East Liberty. The production team has worked hard to minimize the impact on the neighborhood; please be respectful of them when they are working here. -- *Highland Park Community Council* Visit our website by clicking here. <https://hpccpgh.org/>
