Hello, We recently moved from France to Pittsburgh in the Highland Park neighborhood and we don't know anyone around us yet. We need help because our car battery is dead. Is there anyone who has the cable to start it using her/his car? Unfortunately, my insurance doesn't cover this kind of problem. We live at 5575 Hampton St. Tel 878 834 9667 Best regards, -- Rachid

Room or studio - clarification
by Patti 18 Oct '23

18 Oct '23

I've already received well- meaning messages. I should clarify. I'm looking for a room or studio ANYWHERE in the city. Also, there's a housing crisis, so the demand for affordable housing is intense. $800-1,000 for a room is not affordable for most. Any leads on reasonably safe housing anywhere in the city between 500-750, would be appreciated. Thanks, Patti

Another dentist question, please
by Becky Slemmons 17 Oct '23

17 Oct '23

Hello neighbors, I realize there was a list of stellar dentists collected and shared last week or so. I downloaded, as well. However I wanted to please raise the question with a nuance added-- Looking for a dentist who is an especially good listener, and takes the time to hear their patients' unconventional needs and has an open mind to accommodate. I have a very rare nerve/autoimmune condition that most people in the medical field know almost nothing about, and need to advocate for myself to request dental accommodations such as extra-long-acting novocaine, extra cleanings that I pay for myself, etc. Could you please recommend a dentist whom you feel would be willing to do this? Very much appreciated. -Becky
