I have two puzzles - one 3000 pieces Ravensberger old-style world map and one 2000 piece Tapestry of the Centuries, 350 of the most influential people. Does anyone know of a good cause to donate them to? Senior center that would want them or maybe a hospital? Thanks! Amy McCall

[Highland Park] Box of games for sale
by Amy Elizabeth Mccall 18 Jun '11

18 Jun '11

Continuing the clean out, we have a box of games - Take Off! (geography game, probably about 10 years old, so don't know if that's changed it much or not). 2-6 players - 6 to adult. It's on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/Resource-Games-Take-Off-Game/dp/B00000JBQA CoinStruction (400 piece) (not really a game, still has a lot of pennies in it). Here is the 600 piece version: http://www.amazon.com/CoinStruction-Make-Your-Money-Grow/dp/B000LMI6PI/ref=… Kit & Caboodle (Dice game of sets and science for 1-3 players ages 8 and up). The box doesn't look like this, but this is the game: http://www.amazon.com/Gamewright-00401-Kit-Caboodle/dp/B00001TPZY. Evo - the Last Gasp of the Dinosaurs (3-5 players, ages 12 and up) - quick search didn't turn it up for sale any more, but Wikipedia had it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evo_%28board_game%29. Constallation Station (2-4 players, ages 10 and up). On Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/Nova-Constellation-Station/dp/B000GPNFTW Railroad Rush Hour (ages 6 and up, I believe - this one appears to be missing its directions, although everything else seems to be here - I suspect one could get the directions online). Amazon had it here: http://www.amazon.com/Think-Fun-Railroad-Rush-Hour/dp/B00000IRYQ. $20 takes all, not selling individually at this point. Amy McCall

[Highland Park] Free air conditioner
by Sue Mietzner 18 Jun '11

We have an older model AC that is too big to fit in our new windows. It requires at least a 32" space. It is heavier and larger than new models, but it works and free for the taking. Sue

[Highland Park] bookcases for sale
by Amy Elizabeth Mccall 18 Jun '11

18 Jun '11

We've been cleaning house, and I have 3 bookcases for sale. Two white tall Billy bookcases from IKEA and one short all wood bookcase. I've attached a photo of each type. I think the other tall white bookcase has a small stain on the back (the part that would generally be covered by books). I'm not sure whether someone else could get this out or not. $25 takes the two white ones, $10 for the short one. Amy McCall .

[Highland Park] Curb Alert: Wooden TV Crates
by Kate Mast 18 Jun '11

18 Jun '11

On Sunday morning, I'm putting two crates made to move two flat screen TVs (42", 35") when we moved here last year. Free for the taking if you'd like to use them for a move, or just for the lumber. They were made out of mostly 1x4s and plywood in good shape -- could probably be reused. 6035 Grafton. Kate

[Highland Park] Free Futon Frame
by Kristin Ward 18 Jun '11

18 Jun '11

Hi! I just got a new bed to replace my old futon frame. It is in relatively good condition, disassembled, and sitting on my porch at 826 Mellon St. If anyone wants it, or knows someone who could use it (ie college in the fall) it is yours for the hauling away. Hardware is in a ziploc next to the pieces, although some hardware may need replacing. I plan to hang on to it for about a week before taking it over to Construction Junction or to the curb. Thanks!

[Highland Park] Reporting Excellent Service
by Michael M. Nadler 18 Jun '11

18 Jun '11

Dear Neighbors - It has been a while since writing in our newsletter, etc, to all of you, but I wish to pass on a couple of local businesses/services that we have been using, and that we shall continue to use: Advanced Pest Control - Pete: (412) 818-0421. We have used Advanced since the purchase of our house in 2002, and even with our weird schedule, Pete has always been in contact, and easy to work with. When we were working on our foundation area, they even made a special trip in to treat the totally exposed area. Leisher Landscapes - Josiah: (814) 450-7738, jleisher(a)gmail.com<mailto:jleisher@gmail.com>. Josiah has actually not only showed up when he said, but has done the work we have scheduled with him. After two years, with more than a few no shows, we are working on catching up with our "curb appeal" and definitely recommend Josiah with work dealing with trees, the lawn, as well as creating the right look !!! J. W. Sales/All Pro Appliances - James: (412) 334-2318. We made the call per a Highland Park Listserve recommendation, and James returned the call within an hour. He called to say he could be here earlier than expected the following day when we were scheduled, and actually had the parts on hand !!! They quoted their costs on the phone, and then before they started the job. Washing Machine working perfectly with a half hour of work. Please feel free to contact these people for their services, and we have had a great experience with all of them, and they are from the immediate area !!!

Greetings! Hope everyone is enjoying their summer. I was looking forward to some time off but now since I have finished all the new recipes and fall schedule I am anxious to start classes again. Private parties are the only functions at the school until fall. It's air conditioned so if you want a private affair give us a buzz (6-10 people).....birthday celebrations, office parties, children's parties, team building, anniversaries, bachelorette parties, or for just a night out with good friends, good food and wine! We are excited about the fall classes (schedule attached) and hope you will be pleased!!

You can, however, request these classes for a private party Dim Sum and Vietnamese are gone for fall but will return in the future and can be requested for private parties Working on a Korean menu for 2012 (January through June) Celiac, gluten-free, and vegetarian classes are still offered to your group of 6-10 people.
