Previously a Recreation Center Membership Tag was needed for Pittsburgh children to access pools for free. This Summer, the Rec Membership Tag is being waived and all Pittsburgh children 15 and under will be granted free entry to CitiParks swimming pools. "It’s all about the children and giving them opportunities for a safe, fun summer,” said Mayor Ed Gainey. “Whatever we can do to make our youth thrive allows our great City to continue to be a safe, welcoming, and thriving place for all.” “We love being able to offer free swimming to Pittsburgh youth. And now, without needing a Recreation Center Membership, families can head straight to the pools and enjoy their summer,” noted CitiParks Director, Kathryn Vargas. Season Passes are still available for purchase for City adult residents. Non-residents of Pittsburgh are also able to purchase season tags. Full details and the 2023 Pool Tag form are available here: https://pittsburghpa.gov/citiparks/tags-fees ------------------------------ .

Looking for someone to clear an overgrown yard
by K Stockwell 21 Jun '23

21 Jun '23

I have some feelers out elsewhere, but wanted to check with folks on the list, as well. Due to various issues, I now have a seriously overgrown yard, and am looking for someone with the time and equipment to clear it. Very tall grass, assorted weeds, ivy, Japanese knotweed, roses, etc. Lot is fenced, and I'd need both inside and outside the fence to be addressed. It's a 90x40 lot, but much of that is the house itself. Lot is between HP and Morningside, a few blocks behind Union Project. If you are, or know of, someone who does this sort of work, please get in touch. I'd like to get this handled as soon as I can. Let me know if more info is needed, what your rates are, what forms of payment you take, etc. Thanks much! Keith

Thanks for all the suggestions on places to go for getting my watch battery replaced. I decided to try and replace it myself but I can not get the case opened. I understand that there is a tool for opening the case? Anyone has this tool or knows how to open the case I would appreciate some guidance. David PS I got 10 batteries for $1.85!

SEEKING: Studio/1Br for Rent
by Michael Hacke 20 Jun '23

20 Jun '23

Hi All, I’m working with a recently resettled Afghan refugee looking for a studio or 1 BR apartment. He served as a translator for the US over there. He has been steadily employed at UPMC Mercy since arriving. His max budget is $800 but would prefer to be below that as he build a foundation here - He came with nothing. Another resettled family is looking for old laptops or tablets to help with learning English. If you can assist with either, please email me or call me at (484) 802-6838. Thank you in advance!
