Post Gazette
by Susan Ryan 30 Jan '20

30 Jan '20

In my email last weekend about the non-delivery of the Post Gazette on Sunday, I was able to get a replacement from someone on Hampton. I hear from quite a few people: Heberton, Farragut, Wellesley, etc. who had also not received a Sunday paper. Again today, sure enough, no delivery My husband telephoned the PG and was told that yes, they were aware of the Sunday example, but that the delivery person had quit and there was nothing they could do. Re: today's non-delivery, they said that the new person probably doesn't know the route yet. I would like to send some kind of petition to the PG to let them know how many people still value the "paper" paper. Perhaps it could take the form of just our street name and block or partial address. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to do this? It is really too bad that the PG publishes a paper now only on 3 days a week and maybe this is a further attempt for them to wean us off it and onto the electronic version, which I do not find satisfactory. As Brian O'Neil once wrote: you don't really feel certain that you have read the whole paper when you are done. Yes, of course, we all use Google and email, but I do like the paper paper. And it is still pretty expensive: $300 plus for the 3 day delivery and online access. Most of us grew up reading a daily paper and the print form existed for at least 200 years. I am sorry to see it go; to me it is kind of a basic right. Unfortunately, the one place where this issue will not be debated is, guess what...... the newspaper. Thanks for listening.

Hi neighbors - A friend is moving back to Pittsburgh for a new job and looking for a studio or small 1BR in the city (preferably East End), close to buslines that run Downtown. Their budget is tight, hoping to stay under $800/month if possible. If you know of any units that may be coming online in or around Highland Park in the near future, please let me know and I'll pass the info along. Thanks, Rebecca

ISO perfect apartment for young professional couple - April 1, $1800 or less, with cat
by Cassia Priebe 30 Jan '20

30 Jan '20

We are a professional couple in our 30s, working as an engineer and an analyst. We are looking for our dream unit in the city we love. One of us works in New Kensington and the other in Robinson, so we need to stay central, in the East End or Squirrel Hill. Here's a summary of what we are looking for: - Move in 4/1 (but could be somewhat flexible for THE Perfect Place) - Max budget is $1800/mo - Ideally in Squirrel Hill or East End (incl Point Breeze, Highland Park, Morningside, etc.) with close access to highways/routes out of the city. Areas like Shadyside which are more central are less ideal for this reason. - 3 bedrooms, with dining room, extra storage space in basement, that kind of thing. Space. Could perhaps go with a 2 BR with extra storage areas like basement, loft space, etc. - No specific # of bathrooms requirements, but a tub is preferred to shower stalls - We have 1 cat - Some wall-to-wall carpeting could be OK but hard floors definitely preferred - Central air preferred - Laundry in unit preferred - Some outdoor space (porch/balcony) is a must. An actual yard is not required but would be lovely - Ideally some kind of duplex/townhouse/condo rather than an apartment. - Off street parking preferred but not absolute requirement - Natural light / plenty of windows If this sounds like your property, please contact me! -- Cassia 585-410-3117 (text or call)
