[Highland Park] hiring to clear vines/poison ivy
by C.Heather Kropf 19 Jun '11

19 Jun '11

I'm looking for a young person who isn't allergic to poison ivy and can fit into narrow spaces to cut and clear out some vines for me, including some poison ivy here and there. There would be maybe 1-2 hour's work or so and I could pay $15/hour. Does anyone have a high-school or college student on summer break that could fit the bill? Thanks! Heather

by Irina Livezeanu 19 Jun '11

Black IKEA L-shaped sectional in great shape. This model is no longer available on their web site. It sits on chrome "feet". The slipcovers are a suede-like washable fabric and are zippered on. It comes with 5 or 6 additional throw pillows also covered in black fabric. I've had it for 6 years and only had cats for the last few months. I've been keeping it covered since then. I'm not in Pittsburgh at the moment, so no picture. I've inherited some living room furniture that I need to make space for. I also have a glass and wood square Italian coffee table for sale. Asking: sofa $350.00; table $80 email me or call 201-224-4133 Irina

Hi neighbors, I have a sofa and a table for sale. They're both in good condition-- pictures are attached. The sofa is a pull-out couch, and pretty heavy. $15 OBO. The table is a small dining room table with two leaves. It would make a good table for an eat-in kitchen or a hobby table for a work-room. $10 OBO. Please email me at erswora(a)gmail.com if interested. I'm located just off of the corner of Negley/Stanton. Thanks! -- Emily Swora 651-212-0791 Pittsburgh, PA

[Highland Park] Need Fireworks for the 4th? Support a local business!
by Jim Banko 19 Jun '11

19 Jun '11

Neighbors, I wanted to take an opportunity to use the listserv for some shameless self-promotion. Two years ago I founded Patriot Fireworks LLC along with a friend of mine who had experience working in the fireworks industry. We saw how the big players in fireworks were increasing prices every year while also lowering the quality of their product. So we decided to see if we could do better and made a promise to ourselves that we would only sell quality fireworks and that we wouldn't "get greedy" like the big names have. We started out with 2 tents, one here in Pittsburgh and another in King of Prussia where my partner lives. Two years later we have expanded to 9 seasonal retail locations and also moved into wholesaling and guaranteed product services. Our tents are small and not as flashy as our competitors, but this allows us to keep our costs down. Despite the larger tents that the other guys use, we actually have a wider variety of products as well. The bigger companies have 1000 square foot tents and spread the same items around to different areas of the tent to make it look like they have a bigger variety. Don't be fooled. Most of our locations are in eastern PA, but we still have our original tent here in Pittsburgh at Puff Discount Tobacco in Plum Township. If anyone is interested in fireworks this summer, I would like to encourage you to give us a chance. We sell Shogun brand fireworks from China and have been very pleased with the quality and value of these items. While I prefer to support U.S. manufacturers whenever I can, I have to say that when it comes to fireworks, the Chinese still make them better than anyone and at a price that allows us to match or beat the prices of our competitors. Again, our tent location is at Puff Discount Tobacco in Plum at 7901 Saltsburg Rd, Pittsburgh, PA 15239. It's a little out of the way for HP'ers, but its worth it. Mention that you saw this ad and you'll receive an additional 10% off your purchase, just because you know me. Cash and credit cards accepted. Also, we only sell items that are legal for sale and use in Pennsylvania. The tent will be open starting Friday June 24th through Monday July 4th. Hours are as follows: Friday June 24th - Sunday June 26th: 9:00am - 9:00pm Monday June 27th - Thursday June 30th: 12:00pm - 9:00pm Friday July 1st - Monday July 4th: 9:00am - 9:00pm I will be sending a reminder later in the week when we are up and running. Hope to see you there. Thanks! Jim Banko Bryant Street

My husband and and I are very interested in a house that is for sale on Wellesley. Our concern is that in the past month there have been quite a few assaults and burglaries within a block of the home. Can any of you provide some advice on the general atmosphere of the street? Thanks! Jenn
