[Highland Park] Family ISO a rental
by Emily Viehland 03 May '12

03 May '12

Hi neighbors! A good friend of mine, who currently owns in Penn Hills, is being forced to leave PH due to the cutting of all buses to the area on September 1st. What her family is looking for is a 1+ year rental, to allow them to get their house ready to put onto the market, and then sell it, before buying a new home along the bus lines here in the city. They have 3 small children (oldest is 8), and a dog. They would prefer 3 bedrooms, but 2 could be okay. Please contact my friend Becky directly if you have a lead for her: < beckyashkettle(a)yahoo.com> Thanks! --Emily on King Go Green, Save Green, Make Green! *http://healthylivingconsultant.info/* * * * * * *

If you are interested, reply to skinnerkia(a)gmail.com with first name, e-mail address, loose schedule information and any other ideas about forming such a group.

[Highland Park] Couch for Sale--$75
by Kate McGinley 03 May '12

03 May '12

Hi, Selling a couch that I originally bought a few years ago for $500. I'm asking for $75. The couch, in its present condition, would be good for a play room or rec room (or a college student); if you'd like to put it in a family room, it needs to be reupholstered. The fabric is getting quite worn, and there is sun damage on the front (you can see in pictures). The frame is in great shape, the couch is clean, and it is a very comfortable couch. Couch comes from a smoke free home, but we do have pets (dogs), so please note that if you are allergic. You haul away. Must be picked up today or tomorrow. Please email me if you're interested. Thanks! Cheers, Kate
