House concert January 26- Zachary Lucky
by Arnold, Robert M 30 Oct '23

30 Oct '23

We are THRILLED to announce our first Highland Park house concert of the year with the amazing Canadian singer-songwriter Zachary Lucky. The concert is January 26th FROM 7-930 PM . Our address is 1232 N Highland Ave 15206 (it is right across from Tazza D’Oro. For over ten years, Zachary Lucky has steadily been building a name for himself on Canadian and International stages alike often performing hundreds of shows every single year. He has performed at festivals such as the Regina Folk Festival, Dawson City Music Festival and Mariposa Folk Festival in Canada - and at International festivals such as Wickerman (Scotland), Latitude (UK), the Static Roots Festival (Germany) and has twice been an official showcasing artist at Folk Alliance International. Award nominated songwriter Zachary Lucky is unapologetically old-school country, armed with a husky, baritone voice - He often receives comparisons to songwriters such as Gordon Lightfoot and Kris Kristofferson. He sings of Canadian places and people as knowingly as he might Townes Van Zandt or the Rio Grande. It's a relatable show on many levels, and conjures universal feelings that have passed through our collective timelines. Already hailed as a master storyteller by outlets ranging from No Depression to The Globe and Mail, Zachary is becoming a legend in his own right and has safely reserved his spot at the table of Canadian roots royalty. Over the course of his career, Zachary’s music has been featured in numerous television shows and movies - most recently in the Netflix series “The Ranch”. You could also hear his songs featured in shows such as “A Summer Romance” (Hallmark Summer Movie), Arctic Air (CBC) and Continuum (Showcase). Listen to his work at http://zacharylucky.com Our address is 1232 N Highland Ave 15206 (it is right across from Tazza D’Oro The timing of the evening is from 700-9 ish. Between 7-730 pm, there will be some snacks from Food Glorious Food (mostly desserts) and a place for kids (see more about that below) to play outside. There also will be an air hockey tournament while they are getting set up. The concert will start promptly at 7:30 pm. Other details: 1. We will have a bit of drinks and snacks but are open to people bringing other things they want to share! 2. So everyone can enjoy the concert, please only bring kids over 10 years old or if they can be quiet and really attend to the concert.

Vintage PGH photographs
by David Aschkenas 29 Oct '23

29 Oct '23

To all of my Highland Park neighbors, you might enjoy these photos from Pittsburgh between 1978-1981. November will be a nostalgia month. Recently I’ve been revisiting a project that I did between 1978-1981, photographing my home town with a view camera. Those cameras are the old fashion looking things, mounted on a large tripod with a black cloth over my head to focus on the ground glass of the camera, making one exposure at a time on a 4 x 5 inch sheet of film. Most likely, if you’re you’re an old time Pittsburgher, these will be quite nostalgic to see how the landscape and neighborhoods have changed. If you’re never been to this city, I think the imagery still resonates. Here is a link to the new work.. https://daschkenasphoto.com/New-Work/1 <https://daschkenasphoto.com/New-Work/1> Last year BLIND magazine featured some of this work, and my dear friend Abby Mendelson, ( Pittsburgh’s best author) wrote a beautiful piece to accompany the photos. That feature can be seen here.. https://www.blind-magazine.com/stories/historic-pittsburgh-a-grimy-wonderla… <https://www.blind-magazine.com/stories/historic-pittsburgh-a-grimy-wonderla…> Enjoy the Fall, get your Flu shots, Stay Well. As always, THANKS FOR LOOKING. David -- David Aschkenas 915 N. Euclid Ave. Pittsburgh, PA 15206 412-363-3458 www.daschkenasphoto.com

(Re)introducing Bear
by Erin Marie Williams 29 Oct '23

29 Oct '23

Hi, I’m Bear. I’m a 13 year old mini Schnauzer. You may have seen me around the neighborhood, I have lived here for four years. If you haven’t seen me, you have almost certainly heard me. See, I’m a screamer. I scream at people and dogs and bags blowing in the wind. And I scream loudly and joyfully and well after the excitement has passed. It may sound like I am in pain or angry, but nope. I am excited and happy to see you and thoroughly lacking in impulse control (my trainer says this is just who I am and no amount of training will train the joyful scream out of me). And for some reason, as I have grown older, I have also grown louder and most likely to open my mouth and scream at the least provocation. Lately, and perhaps because I’ve been screaming (my people call it “singing”) more than I used to, some neighbors have expressed concern, and come to check on me. My people appreciate the concern and they are comforted to think that a neighbor would intervene if I was really in trouble. But they want you to know that this is just me being me: screaming loudly and joyfully at every thing that passes my window and my line of sight. If you see me (or hear me), please come say hi. I’ll scream at you in excitement and joy and beg you for a pet and then we can part as new best friends. Yours truly, Bear Erin Marie Williams-Hatala, Ph.D. | Associate Professor of Biology | chathamUNIVERSITY
