Free Couch, Table, and Chair

Hello, neighbors. After having the same living room furniture set for over a decade, my family has decided to buy new furniture. We’re happy to give away our old stuff to anyone willing to haul it away before 10AM on Saturday morning. The couch/chair are a real-leather/fake-leather hybrid that have been well worn and loved for a long time. Definitely broken in. The table is a mix of wood and rattan. (Dog and dog pillow are not included in give away!) First person to come and take them can have ‘em. Shoot me a text at 832.725.3364 and we’ll coordinate getting these things moved. Thanks!! Adriana

Missing cat
by Emily Nicholson 09 Aug '19

09 Aug '19

Neighbors, our cat, Zooky, got out around 11:30 am yesterday and hasn’t been seen since. She is about 12 years old, very small (6 lbs) and very friendly and affectionate. She has no collar but she is micro chipped. She spent most of her life living in the country with my parents where she was indoor-outdoor, so she has lots of experience with the great outdoors. But not in the city! We took her in 2 years ago when my dad passed away and my mom was traveling too much for work. Since then I have tried to keep her indoors because we live on N. Negley! But it is very difficult in the summer when she wants to be outside and when doors are left open with greater frequency. I am very worried. Please let me know if you see her! Thank you!

garden thief
by Diane Averill 08 Aug '19

08 Aug '19

Hello, Neighbors. I'm wondering if anyone else in the neighborhood who gardens in the Stanton Avenue city plots has had any trouble with having their produce stolen? My son has one of the allotments and he is a wonderful gardener having a good plant year but a bad experience. Two days ago, he arrived at his garden to find that someone had stripped his sweet peppers from the plants. Today, he discovered that all of his eggplants have been stolen. I know what a bitter feeling it is, as it happened to me a few years back--somebody took all of my ripe tomatoes, not once but twice. Is anyone else having this problem? I guess I'm just looking for company for this misery! Highland Park is a great place to live, but the amount of thieving that goes on--from cars, porches, gardens--is unbelievable.

Loose Chihuahua
by June Edwards 08 Aug '19

08 Aug '19

We saw a tan Chihuahua (with a collar) running down Sheridan between Jackson and Stanton, and then in the yard at 6046 Jackson. I tried to get the dog to come to me but he ran to the backyard, under a deck and might now be in the alley between Sheridan and Farragut. He's very skittish but doesn't look injured. I'll keep looking for him, but I'm not sure if he is still in this area. June 412-559-8168

Scrap Metal
by Diane Dean 08 Aug '19

08 Aug '19

I left an old grill out for pick up last week and someone came by and took it, I assume for scrap metal. I have 2 stackable washers and dryers that I'd like someone to take. Does anyone know of someone who wants them or of a good resource for scrap metal? Both are old and essentially not optimally functional which is why I am pitching them. Thank you! Diane

Closing the fishing season strong.
by SIMON SPENCER 08 Aug '19

08 Aug '19

Lets Go Fishing Team members. We have had a busy summer, I personally have learned a lot about the opportunity God has given us to reach into the heart of the community. The families are more than happy with the performance of Lets Go Fishing. I pray that we can reach even deeper touching those with disabilities. We need to finish strong and if you have not been able to support the work at Lake Carnegie due to other commitments that is understandable. We have volunteers who have devoted a lot of man hour at the lake taking some time of in August, we could use help on Tuesday with Gwen's girls and Saturday September 7,for the community fishing event. Please do not depend on others to do what is needed. I am asking everyone to re-evaluate your commitment and lets finish the fishing season strong. Elder Spencer Simon, Jr.
