[Highland Park] Outdoor Dog Barking During the Night
by H. P. Resident 02 Sep '11

02 Sep '11

I live in the vicinity of King Ave. To the person/persons who allow their dog outside in their yard at 2:00 AM to bark, bark, bark loudly and constantly, (you know who you are), please have some consideration for the people whose sleep has been repeatedly disturbed by this. I'm really hoping you're on the listserv and see this. Excessive barking is considered a 'nuisance violation'; nuisance violations are reportable to Animal Control 412-255-2036. (From City of Pittsburgh - Animal Control - Nuisance Violations<http://www.city.pittsburgh.pa.us/ps/animal_control/nuisance_violations.html> )

[Highland Park] Searching for 'Rich' the plumber
by Simone Woodhouse 02 Sep '11

02 Sep '11

A few months ago someone sent out a list of HP plumber recommendations. On the list was a plumber someone had used for some small jobs and he was now doing a bathroom remodel. The person said "we LOVE our plumber". His name was Rich. If this sounds like you could you pls send me a note with his full name/number. He came by and gave us a verbal quote and we liked him. We can't find his number! Thanks!

by Megan Branning 02 Sep '11

02 Sep '11

I am looking to join a writer's group which meets in, or relatively near, Highland Park on a regular basis (say, once or twice a month). What I'm hoping to find is a group of aspiring writers who share and critique fiction in a casual atmosphere (but are serious about writing). If anyone is a member of such a group or would like to start one with me, please let me know. Megan

Hello Neighbors I have two recliners exactly the same. They are good working order however they are ripped and need to be re-upholstered. Goodwill will not take them. I have wanted to re-upholster them for some time but have never gotten around to it. Free for the taking. You haul. -----Original Message----- From: Weber, Branden 001S Sent: Friday, September 02, 2011 10:03 AM To: Weber, Branden 001S Subject: IMG-20110902-00017.jpg
