[Highland Park] thanks to Patrick Dowd's office, Verizon, and Duquesne Light
by janet jai 22 Apr '12

22 Apr '12

Hi, all, I have been trying for a good while to find time to send out this thank you. Last summer, I lost my phone service twice. It took a while for me to figure out what was going on, but it turned out that it was a telephone pole in the alley behind our house that was starting to lean so far over that garbage trucks were often hitting it when they drove down. I was afraid that a winter storm would bring the pole completely down, and there were a lot of wires connected to that pole and a street lamp was on the pole too. So I contacted Verizon, Duquesne LIght, Patrick Dowd's office, and 311. I would really like to commend everyone. It took a number of months because it was a complicated project, but the telephone pole was replaced and all the wires transferred. Even before it was replaced, the other pole had been secured well so that it wouldn't fall over in a storm. Patrick's office (especially Emily and Jennifer) was so very helpful and so were Verizon and Duquesne Light (possibly the mayor's office too - I just didn't interact with them very much). Thanks everyone. janet jai

Hi, Thanks to all the HP gardeners for their thoughts on the plant we were trying to identify. I must apologize for the original photo in that it was from a piece my wife brought home. Attached are some pix I took of the entire hedge, as well as a photo off the web, courtesy of Google.

[Highland Park] Bike Helmet for Sale
by Alicia Donner 21 Apr '12

Hey all! I have another gently used item for sale. It's a Bell Adrenaline Helmet adult one size. Here's a similar item at Target: http://www.target.com/p/Bell-Helmet-Adult-Adrenaline-Assortment/-/A-1361698…. The only main difference is the color and I can send a pic upon request. As far as usage, it'll be 2 years old this summer, so you should be able to get another year of use out of it. I only used it for a handful of ride and it was never used to protect my skull - thankfully! It's about $17 to $20 at stores and online and I think I paid $25 for it. I'll part with it for $10. Peace, Alicia -- Alicia M. R. Donner ***PULSE Alumna 2010-11* *http://pulsepittsburgh.org/*
