Several sightings of chimney swifts over 800 block of N. Euclid this afternoon...perhaps they are just passing through to more northerly habitats.

Is someone missing a cat?
by Ariel Cianfarano 20 Apr '23

20 Apr '23

There’s been a cat hanging around Heberton Street for the past week and I’m not sure if anyone is missing their pet. It has multi-color fur (black, white, orange) and looks pretty young. Maybe 1-3 years old. No collar. It also has green eyes. Email me for pictures if that description seems familiar! Thank you! -- Ariel Cianfarano Journalist | Northern Arizona University alumna

Latest on firing range! Yet more media! Standing up at the town hall!
by Joy 19 Apr '23

19 Apr '23

dear neighbors: it was a busy week in our collective effort of speaking out to get the open air police firing range silenced! 1. *we took over the town hall last tuesday! thanks to all the supporters who came!* as you may have heard, mayor gainey tried to silence any discussion of the firing range, not taking questions about it or letting us speak. it was shocking, as the town hall was meant to be for residents of highland park to speak about issues that affect us and (according to the publicity) to address the firing range. so a group of us stood up, interrupted the proceedings, and made the mayor, councilwoman gross, and the city managers listen to us describe what it's like living amid gunfire. we made our point: the gunfire must be silenced. why is the mayor resisting? we don't know yet. we had support and applause. the mayor and deputy mayor are *definitely* aware of our commitment and our numbers. the meeting ended with councilwoman deb gross assuring us that something would be done, although there's no commitment from our mayor—yet. you can view the entire town hall meeting on the mayor's facebook page. 2. the firing range was a featured P-G op-ed! "Does the City Care What It's Open Firing Range for Police Does to the Neighbors? <https://www.post-gazette.com/opinion/guest-columns/2023/04/13/highland-park…> " 3. there was TV coverage on our local CBS affiliate <https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/highland-park-residents-shooting-ra…> and wpxi <https://www.wpxi.com/news/local/allegheny-county/some-residents-asking-city…> ! 4. the P-G ran a followup <https://www.post-gazette.com/local/city/2023/04/17/highland-park-pittsburgh…> on the decades-long controversy about the range! as always, i'll keep you posted with updates. and: sign our petition <https://www.change.org/p/close-the-highland-park-open-air-police-firing-ran…>! over 1,100 neighbors have so far! we forward every comment to the mayor. thank you for all of your help, joy
