[Highland Park] Infant Seats to Donate
by Corrie Passavant 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

I'm looking to give away/donate a Graco infant car seat w/ base and 2 vibrating infant seats. These items were given to us and are 5 or 6 years old, but only lightly used by one infant. Goodwill doesn't take these kinds of baby things, since they can't insure against recalls, etc., but I'd love to find someone that could use them. Does anyone know of a family in need or an agency or organization that could use these? Thanks! Corrie

Office of Councilman Patrick Dowd - August 2011 LETTER FROM COUNCILMAN DOWD Dear friends in District 7, August 19, 2011, was a day of tragedy for Pittsburgh. The flooding on Washington Boulevard that day took the lives of two women and two children and changed the lives of their loved ones forever. It is with a deep sadness that I offer my condolences to their family and friends and also to our community. It is with great appreciation, however, that I offer praise to those public safety workers who saved the lives of many that day.

[Highland Park] Wanted: Steelers v Seahawks tickets
by Annie Buches 31 Aug '11

31 Aug '11

Hello neighbors, I would like to buy 2 decent and reasonably priced tickets to the Steelers v Seahawks game on September 18th (or another game if need be). The tickets will be a gift and I am in grad school fresh out of undergrad at Pitt so I am looking for a good deal (if there is one). I have found good lower level seats on craigslist, stubhub, etc. for around 160-180 per ticket. While this is a great price considering the seats I would rather buy tickets from a trustworthy neighbor so I do not have to be as weary making the exchange. If anyone could help me out, or knows someone who could, please e-mail me with some info. I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks, Annie
