Highland Park - Potential Compost Pick-Up Service
by David Zimmerman 10 Aug '21

10 Aug '21

Hi all - Recently, I reached out to the Compost People <https://www.thecompostpeople.com/>, a residential compost pick-up service organization that cares about decreasing waste and making positive environmental impacts. Currently, the organization does not service the Highland Park neighborhood; however, after talking with one of the organization's team members I was informed that their expansion efforts are driven by the number of residents that express an interest in the service. The magic number that puts a neighborhood on their radar for expansion is ten (10) residents. While discussing the potential to have Highland Park added to the Compost People's service area I was told I was the first community member to express an interest for Highland Park, so we need just nine (9) more residents to express interest to move us into their service area expansion plans. If you are interested in a compost pick-up service, check out the Compost People's website <https://www.thecompostpeople.com/> to learn more and to contact the organization <https://www.thecompostpeople.com/pages/contact> to express an interest in the service. Cheers, David

Highland Park: An Odyssey Performance at Schenley Park
by Q Theatre 10 Aug '21

10 Aug '21

Hello Highland Park Residents, Quantum Theatre <http://www.quantumtheatre.com/> kicks off its 30th Anniversary season with a live, outdoor performance of *Jay Ball’s An Odyssey* at the iconic *Schenley Park Ice Skating Rink* from *August 13 to September 5, 2021*. All performances begin at 8PM. Schenley Park’s Ice Skating Rink offers an enormous facsimile of a Greek amphitheater, allowing audiences plenty of room and amazing vistas and sunsets to provide a natural backdrop. The contemporary treatment of Homer’s classic is often filled with humor, but also pointedly explores the definition of heroism in our present by emphasizing female characters mere footnotes in the original, seeing Odysseus’ actions through their eyes. The project reunites director Jed Allen Harris with key members of the imaginative teams behind the 2016 production *Collaborators*. *Please see the website <https://www.quantumtheatre.com/anodyssey/>for more details on how to buy tickets, common FAQs, and list of cast members.* If you have any questions, please email quantum(a)quantumtheatre.com or call 412-362-1713. Thank you, and we hope to see you there! Best, -- Quantum Theatre 5907 Penn Ave. Ste 210 Pittsburgh, PA 15206 412.362.1713 (o) www.quantumtheatre.com | Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/quantumtheatre> | Twitter <http://twitter.com/#%21/QuantumTheatre>

sharing the recommendations I received for iron railings
by Yael Schenker 10 Aug '21

10 Aug '21

Thanks for all the recommendations (and beautiful photos!). Sharing the list here, as several folks requested: Harry did my very simple railings this winter - he came almost immediately, turned around an estimate quickly and made and installed them within a week or two. He was easy to work with and inexpensive. He showed me lot's of photos of his work, but I don't remember how fancy he goes. You can take a look at ours at 1011 Heberton St, if you want to see a sample of his work. Gene Hepler 412-721-3414 just did the same thing for us. His work was really good. He was actually a subcontractor to DeVito Concrete, the company that also replaced our front steps. I just saw these guys doing some cool work down on Stanton Ave. http://foundforged.com/ Local company - 2 young guys. Check it out! We used Armin Iron Works - 412-322-1622, Aldo was great to work with and we were happy with the results. allegheny fence did ours and did a great job we used: Iron Eden Inc Address <https://www.google.com/search?sxsrf=ALeKk00krdGSd0nVGzOSqWfY4HvBno4Yhg:1628…>: 4001 Lorigan St, Pittsburgh, PA 15224 Phone <https://www.google.com/search?sxsrf=ALeKk00krdGSd0nVGzOSqWfY4HvBno4Yhg:1628…>: (412) 656-4336 <https://www.google.com/search?gs_ssp=eJzj4tZP1zcsSS80t0wrMmC0UjWosLAwNkkzMr…> We have used several times Sal DeSamone (412) 478-9624 And his young partner Stephen Steven Scotty (412) 886-3987 They just finished installing a metal staircase that goes from the second floor to the third floor. Absolutely stunning and they put metal railings on the outside of the house. So I would highly recommend them both.
