[Highland Park] St. Marathon Weekend @ St. Andrew's
by Bruce Robison 02 May '12

02 May '12

It's "St. Marathon Weekend" once again in Pittsburgh, and as always we here in Highland Park and at St. Andrew's are tucked just inside the northern edge of the 26.2 mile route (which runs up North Highland Avenue from East Liberty Blvd., then scoots down Bryant Street, takes a left on Negley Avenue, and streams on down toward Baum Blvd. and out through Bloomfield, etc.). We love the event, which is a great asset for the City and region, but we also need to find our work-arounds along the way. For those who may be running in the Marathon, Half-Marathon, Relay, etc., or who may be volunteering for the morning, or who may want to be cheering friends and family--or who may simply wish to avoid the traffic, we schedule at St. Andrew's a simple 5 p.m. service on Saturday evening, May 5th, in the St. Andrew's Chapel. All welcome indeed. On Marathon Sunday morning, May 6, services continue on our usual schedule, 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. Folks "within the route" here in Highland Park may find their way comfortably by staying within. Folks traveling from beyond the loop may get near by traveling through Highland Park and then parking cars above Bryant Street and crossing safely, then walking the block to the Church. You will also want to park "outside" the North Highland and North Negley Avenue boundaries. Cars brought in early and left inside the route are often "stranded" until the running traffic thins out, early afternoon. First Corinthians 9: Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. Have a great weekend!

[Highland Park] EAST END LANDSCAPING
by Yijen 02 May '12

02 May '12

Dear neighbors: We recently called EAST END LANDSCAPING for some yard work, seeing the posting below. Initially, the young man did not get back to me at the time he said that he would. After leaving several messages, he finally responded and came by to give me estimation a few weeks ago. He was very polite with good manner. Some work he said that he would do on that day for sure, but he just needed to go to Home Depot to get some materials; whereas some other work he promised that he would do later. However, after promising that he would do the work on that very day, we never heard from him again. He did not do any work that he promised that he would do on that day, didn't call to cancel the work, nor did he get back to us with anything he promised. Thought to pass along our experience with this company. Thank you! -Yijen ---------- message ---------- Date: Sun, Apr 8, 2012 at 11:01 AM EAST END LANDSCAPING: Offering lawn care and other property improvement services around the East End of Pittsburgh.

[Highland Park] Green Star Juicer for sale
by Brian Koski 01 May '12

01 May '12

Hi neighbors, I have a top of the line Green Star Solo II juicer for sale. It's hardly been used (we have two as I used to travel, thus the extra one). They retail for $269 - asking $200 OBO before putting it on Craig's List. Those that juice know the benefits - Green Star has a gear rather than centrifugal force and therefore doesn't clog and extracts significantly more juice from your veggies or fruit. All attachments and original box. Call Brian at 412.398.2221 with any questions or if you'd like to see it.

[Highland Park] Housemate wanted
by tamburino＠gmail.com 01 May '12

01 May '12

I own a house on North Sheridan and travel to and from London for months at a time. One of my housemates is has moved out while another is staying on. The housemate who is staying has lived comfortably at the house for 18 months. I want to find one replacement *female *housemate before I head back to London at the end of May! I grew up in this neighborhood and have lived in my family home since my mother passed. I love my house and want to find a respectful person who will be mindful of the space while I am not there. The private space is one bedroom on the second floor, completely remodeled less than 2 years ago. It includes a decorative exposed brick fireplace, a nice sized closet and *CAN *be furnished with dresser and desk, if needed (possibly other pieces too). There is a full bathroom on the second floor. The shared living space on the first floor of the house includes a dining room, living room, powder room, large kitchen, and sun room. There is a nice sized back yard and friendly neighbors. Street parking available and the kitchen is fully equipped with pots, pans AND a dishwasher! Also, washer and dryer on the first floor. AND, I just remembered, there is a grill outside. The house is located within easy walking distance to several bus stops, coffee shops and grocery stores. The rent is $300 a month plus utilities. This is perfect for a graduate student. It's a great place to do your work and there are 20-and-30-something neighbors who are good conversation partners. The sun room on the first floor is my favorite part of the house--it's a great place to watch thunderstorms or read a novel. Interested persons are encouraged to contact me over email at tamburino(a)gmail.com. Joanna Tamburino

[Highland Park] Urban Dog
by Shawn McGill 01 May '12

01 May '12

Rarely do I post but this is important if you have a dog. We had an absolutely terrible experience with the urban dog in Lawrenceville. Grooming was bad, our dog's eye was cut and now infected and the owner was abusive, volatile and out of line. We think of our dog as a family member, so I think it is best to spread the word.
