[Highland Park] left over food
by Elisabeth Larman 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

Dear neighbors, I am overwhelmed with the incredible number of caring people in our neighborhood and the great number of people who obviously are in need of food help in our neighborhood and that are served by just a few organizations. I am new to the community. Most responders mentioned the food programs at the East Liberty Presbyterian Church. What I failed to mention is that the bakery will not provide delivery service. They will donate the food but it will need to be picked up daily before they close. The name of the bakery is "La Gourmandine at www.lagourmandinebakery.com. They are on Butler street, very close by Highland Park. Their phone number is 412-682.2210. They are very generous and eager to help out. I am so pleased to live in a community with so many caring people and when we are established I'll be happy to help out. Thanks again to all who responded. Elisabeth

[Highland Park] Door-to-door Magazine sales people in the area
by ronfronzaglio2＠comcast.net 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

Hi, We just wanted to let everyone know that we have had a magazine sales person on DeVictor Place today. He was was nice but asked my husband all kinds of strange questions about neighbors, etc. and seemed to be fishing for names. He was from Los Angeles. After researching the topic of "Door to door magazine sales" a little, we came across the following article http://listofscams.blogspot.com/2010/01/door-to-door-magazine-sales-scams-t… We are not sure how accurate this is but thought we would let everyone know to be on the watch-out and extra careful with volunteering information on neighbors, and answering doors, etc. We also found the following tips from the Better Business Bureau: The BBB offers the following advice to avoid getting scammed by door-to-door magazine sales. • Do not open your door to strangers. Instead, say through the door that you are not interested, and ask them to leave. • Do not purchase magazines from door-to-door sales people because you will probably not receive the magazines. • Do not give money to door-to-door solicitors, unless you know you are giving to local kids for local causes. • If you feel threatened by any door-to-door sales representative, call 911. • Check businesses out at www.bbb.org before making a purchase. If you are a victim of fraudulent magazine sales or any other scam, file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau at www.bbb.org or local law enforcement . Ursula
