[Highland Park] Tickets for Gay Bingo this Saturday eve
by Nick Miller 25 Apr '12

25 Apr '12

Hi everyone, I have two tickets for a fundraising event called OUTrageous Bingo for this Saturday night at the Rodef Shalom in Oakland. Essentially, many BINGO games are played through the course of the night, but they market it as saying 'this aint your Grandma's Bingo!" I was excited to attend my first one, but I have another commitment, and have two tickets available for this sold out event. Apparently, it is quite bizzare and fun, hosted by over the top drag queens and is not for the shy/meek. Ive heard you should be prepared to laugh and just enjoy a good time for a good cause. It benefits the Shepard Wellness Community, and the Gay/Lesbian Community Center. I paid $24 for both tickets, and can sell them for $18 total, OBO. Bingo starts at 730, doors at 630. Please contact me if interested. Nick

[Highland Park] Learn the history of your house!
by Carol Peterson 24 Apr '12

24 Apr '12

Hello Highland Park/East Liberty residents, I want to let you know that I do House Histories in your area and throughout southwestern Pennsylvania. A House History is a great way to learn when your house was built, who's owned it over the years, and a lot more information that gives context to Pittsburgh's architecture and history. I've done more than 1400 House Histories around Pittsburgh, several dozen of which have been in your neighborhoods: everything from rowhouses to the King Estate. If you'd like to know more, contact me at 412-687-0342 or cpeterson155(a)yahoo.com. Or check out my House Histories page on facebook- it's visible even for people who aren't on facebook themselves. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Pittsburgh-House-Histories/163356233687884?sk… Thanks! Carol Peterson
