Christmas Tree Recycling Sign up is live!
by Girl Scout Troop 52498 30 Dec '22

30 Dec '22

Hello, Thank you again for supporting our fundraiser and keeping your tree out of the landfill! This is, I believe, the 8th year we have been providing this service as a fundraiser for the community and we're so grateful for the way the community has embraced this effort. I have activated the sign up form: https://forms.gle/s8EnS357en5xFQU2A I have also attached a PDF of a flyer with links to the sign ups for the other Girl Scout troops who are collecting. This year we have a much larger range of the city being covered: Highland Park, East Liberty, Shadyside, Point Breeze, Friendship, Larimer, Squirrel Hill North and South, Greenfield, Morningside, Stanton Heights north of Stanton, and Upper Lawrenceville. Just a short note about the suggested donation of $5; it has been important to us to keep the requested donation low so that cost is not a barrier for participation, and we are keeping that request steady. As with so many other costs, the costs of the gas associated with running this fundraiser have gone up, so if you are inspired to throw in a little extra, please know that it is much appreciated and helps support getting these kids out into nature, and testing their limits with challenging and fun activities. Our troop is saving up for some travel, now that they are older. There will be one final group doing collections, the BSA, in Mid and Lower Lawrenceville, Bloomfield, Stanton Heights south of Stanton, and Garfield. Feel free to reach out if you know anyone who might be interested in those neighborhoods and I will send your message to the correct person. And, as always, we would encourage you to recycle your tree, even if you don't participate in this fundraiser. Here is the link to the city's information about drop off locations: https://pittsburghpa.gov/dpw/xmas-tree-recycling Additionally, you can compost your tree in your own backyard, which provides habitat for overwintering birds and other wildlife. Wishing you all a wonderful New Year's! -- Heather and Melissa gstroop52498(a)gmail.com

by Christopher Tracey 29 Dec '22

Older Sony a300 dSLR with two lens (18-70mm, and 50mm). Works well. Includes battery, but needs a memory card. Great camera for beginning photographers. There's a number of these on eBay for >100, but this could be yours for $60.

FS: Tall Vintage Mid-Century Stiffel Lamp
by janet jai 28 Dec '22

28 Dec '22

Lamp is about 38” tall (taller than most Stiffel lamps I believe) and works well (3-way switch). It has no chips or dents, but brass needs to be cleaned well (because of allergies, I can’t clean it). I have priced it inexpensively to reflect the need for cleaning. We’ve used it for many, many years with no problems, but it is an old lamp (‘40s through ‘60s era) so you might want to decide for yourself whether to replace the wiring. Brass base makes it a heavy lamp. $60 (cash or via PayPal) janet jai

Hello neighbors, Video & still (perp on far left) of catalytic converter thief who stole our Pruis’s cat last night at 2:40am on the 1400 block of N Euclid. That is him walking down the sidewalk. He is carrying what looks like the saw, hiding it from he driver’s view. The car is a neighbor returning home.
