[Highland Park] Looking for a place to call home. . . .
by Krista's Email 30 Apr '12

30 Apr '12

Neighbors, We recently learned that our landlord sold our house here in Highland Park and we are looking for a new place to call home. If you have a home, duplex or 1st floor apartment OR know someone who does - with 2 bedrooms + an office - in the greater Highland Park area please let us know OR pass on this e-mail. We would love to move ASAP but have some flexibility and could wait until the end of summer. Sean, Ella & I love living in this community and being apart of it. . . .from walking to Food Glorious Food for cinnamon rolls & the Bryant Street Market for their weekly specials, playing at the Super Playground, walking to the zoo, cheering on the marathon runners to sitting on the front porch and greeting neighbors, this is a great place to live! Thanks for your help, Krista P.

[Highland Park] Dumpster request
by Thomas Waters 30 Apr '12

30 Apr '12

I saw an earlier post about a dumpster supplier? Didn't keep it, but then, I was at Home Depot and they have these dumpster bags that look like they fold out into a good sized dumpster. You fill them, and then someone picks them up for you. $29 I believe -- Thomas C. Waters thomaswaters(a)mac.com http://thomascwaters.com http://QLATB.com twitter: tcwaters

[Highland Park] Blue Dots & HP Trail Development
by Rob Pell 30 Apr '12

30 Apr '12

Everyone, The blue markings are positioned on trees throughout Highland Park. The spots are made with chalk and are easily removed. Evidently, there was a running event yesterday and the course was marked with the blue dots. We were performing trail work in the park yesterday when 40 people ran past us along the blue dot marked trail. Here's more info about the running group: http://pgh-h3.com/wp/ BTW, if anyone is interested in helping out with the development of new trails in HP, there is a workday scheduled on Saturday May 12th from 9:00AM - noon. There will be another announcement with the exact meeting location but it will probably be across the street from the pool entrance.

And here I make a rule - a great and interesting story is about everyone, or it will not last. ~John Steinbeck, East of Eden You can't do it all by yourself; all understanding is social, by definition. ~Rick Levine, Cluetrain Manifesto Our trees along the street were recently trimmed near the power lines.Now there is a painted blue spot on one of the trees. A similar spot is on a tree across the street that wasn't trimmed and another spot is on our neighbor's fence which is along an alley. Any ideas what the spots mean? All, I have a large pine tree in my front yard. While a reasonable amount of sap is expected around this time, this year seems to have brought on a lot more sap. My tenants' cars (parked in the driveway) have a lot on them. Does anyone else have this issue? Is this year a one-off? What does one do to reduce the amount of sap or to clean the unfortunate car that is the recipient of said sap? Thanks! Jay. Hi, Did anyone else get the gift of fireworks last night? A cherry bomb and brick of fireworks was set off on my front porch last night around midnight. I was downstairs, so got to the front door fairly quickly, but there was nothing more than a smelly porch full of smoke. We consider ourselves lucky because nothing caught on fire. We called 911 and will follow up with a police report today. Just curious if there were similar occurrences across HP last night. Jack and Liz Buchanan Jackson Street I have strawberries and rasberries to give away. Both are spreading and I don't have enough space for them. Let me know if you'd like some. You can help me dig them up. Irina -- &lt;http://lists.highlandparkpa.com/mailman/listinfo/neighborhood>

[Highland Park] YOGA is at Creative Fitness
by Cathleen Fink 30 Apr '12

30 Apr '12

***Yoga at Creative Fitness Pittsburgh ** Classes Begin: May 1, 2012 @ 6:45-730pm * 5406 Penn Ave Pittsburgh, PA 15206 412-361-6000 Our instructor Alison recently moved to Pittsburgh from San Francisco, and is excited to offer yoga to anyone and everyone. Her classes are donation-based to ensure all are welcome (If you have the means, suggested donation is $10 but no one is turned away for lack of funds). She also offers private and small group instruction. Her fun, creative classes focus on alignment, balance, connection to the breath and awareness of the mind For me, yoga is about bringing all parts of ourselves into harmony - thought, speech & action. The physical practice is a metaphor for the rest of life; yoga asks us to get curious about ourselves and how we show up in the world. I believe yoga can make our body stronger and more flexible, but I also believe it can teach us about our whole lives, how to pay attention and be more of who we really are. Alison has been practicing yoga for over 10 years and is a 200-hr certified Kripalu yoga teacher. She lived at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health (in Western Mass.) for a year as part of their service learning program and had the opportunity to study with many teachers including Seane Corn, Dharma Mittra, and Desiree Rumbaugh. She also studied partner yoga and Thai Massage in Thailand and incorporates assisted stretches into her classes. * please make sure to call and reserve your space in class 412-361-6000 or 412-378-7300 Cathleen Fink Creative Fitness Pittsburgh 5406 Penn Ave. Pittsburgh, Pa 15206 412-378-7300 Web:www.creativefitnesspgh.com email:cathy@creativefitnesspgh.com "Vincit qui si, vencit" He who conquers himself conquers all...........
