Street Sweeper is out today
by Lauren Panza 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

Hello! If you're WFH and park your car on the street, be aware that the street sweeper is out today. I had no idea they were coming and was able to run outside and move my car and he cleaned up in front of my house on Farragut. Just throwing it out there if you think of it and would like to get in on this street sweeping magic. Thanks, Lauren

by Dora Magovern 25 Feb '24

25 Feb '24

Hi HP, Does anyone have 4 tickets to see Jason Isbell in PGH on March 9 that they are looking to part with? I have two but we’ve decided it might be fun to take our kids. I’d be open to a trade too.

Hi neighbors, We've set out a dark brown IKEA Billy bookshelf on our curb (1023 King Ave). The back panel needs to be reattached, but otherwise is still in decent shape. Help yourself! https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/billy-bookcase-dark-brown-oak-effect-80492782/… All the best, Vanessa

Non-delivery
by Susan Ryan 25 Feb '24

25 Feb '24

Dear Neighbors: Has anyone been having trouble with the Sunday New York Times delivery? For the 3rd week in a row, ours has not come. We have put in a claim for a refund: $13 each time which we get. Also the Thursday and Sunday Post Gazette is again sporadic, though we did get today's Sunday edition. Very frustrating of course. Susan Wellesley Ave.

Simple walker
by linda evans 25 Feb '24

25 Feb '24

Hi all. I'm in need of a simple walker without wheels to assist in getting out of bed. I just need something to hold on to with that initial stand and the pain that causes. Will have surgery to remedy this but until then I think it might help. Could I borrow it for a couple months ? Linda Evans 412-953-0154 texting is best....thanks

Bathroom Demo Stuff
by Bob Staresinic 24 Feb '24

24 Feb '24

My family demolished a bathroom this weekend, and before we put the stuff in a dumpster or take it to construction junction, I thought someone might be interested. There is a toilet, which is not low-flow, so I dont think anyone will want. THere is a vanity and sink, that are in decent condition. And there is a closet door asssembly, about 24 inches wide. If any of that sound interesting, you can stop by the corner of Wellesley and Mellon and check it out. Bob
