by Katrina Struloeff 10 May '11

10 May '11

Hey neighbors! One of my housemates is going to be spending the summer in Boston which means our beautiful 3rd floor is open for a sublet. Here is the posting. Please spread the word! You can click on the craigslist link to get the photos. -Katrina $425 / 2br - East Liberty: Studio for sublet-June 1st/2nd thru August 19th (East Liberty) (map) ------------------------------ Date: 2011-05-10, 11:56AM EDT Reply to: hous-hzptg-2372874355(a)craigslist.org<hous-hzptg-2372874355@craigslist.org?subject=%24425%20%2F%202br%20-%20East%20Liberty%3A%20Studio%20for%20sublet-June%201st%2F2nd%20thru%20August%2019th%20%28East%20Liberty%29&body=%0A%0Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fpittsburgh.craigslist.org%2Fsub%2F2372874355.html%0A> [Errors when replying to ads?<http://www.craigslist.org/about/help/replying_to_posts> ] ------------------------------ Hello. I’m looking for someone to sublet the studio space I currently live in from June 1st/2nd to August 19. I live in a four-bedroom house in East Liberty/Highland Park with 2 other wonderful people. One housemate is an amazing musician (classically trained piano), and the other (the owner) works for a local nonprofit. I’m a first-year CMU grad student who’s going to Boston for the summer. It is a friendly but independent vibe around the house and everyone pitches in for general household tasks. the house: • has shared living space of a dining room, • living room, • kitchen, • laundry, • two bathrooms, • small studio space • huge backyard with garden Available bedroom: • basically a full 3rd floor space with painted wood floors and amazing light. This is a large and extremely flexible space. • Futon, dresser, closet (bought from Target), coffee table included I am simply looking for someone who is reliable, friendly, doesn't mind cats or dog (there are two calm cats, and a 10 month old mixed puppy), and relatively clean, to round out the house. Rent is $425-450 plus splitting utilities with other housemates (utilities average $75/month). Cost dependent on additional storage space. Located on Hays Ave. between Euclid and North St. Clair. Direct bus lines to downtown, CMU, University of Pitt, Oakland, Bloomfield, Stanton Heights, Friendship, Garfield, Strip District, and East Liberty bus station (the bus way). Within a mile of Eastside retail/restaurant area, Highland Avenue business district, and Bryant Street business district. Street parking is available and does not require a permit. Need someone to move in June 1st/2nd. Email me with any questions. Thank you and have a great day. http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/sub/2372874355.html

[Highland Park] Scenic Pittsburgh urges Scenic and Historic Preservationists to Unite!
by Dave Demko 10 May '11

10 May '11

Dear Scenic Pittsburgh Supporters, It is time to draw a line in the sand regarding how much of our city's skyline and scenery we should surrender to commercial advertising. The Zoning Board of Adjustment will hear testimony at a public hearing on May 12 at 10:10 at 200 Ross Street, to decide if Huntington Bank can erect an illuminated high-wall sign on the historic Grant Building. The Grant Building was designed in the classic Beaux Arts style by famed architect Henry Hornbostel, who spared no expense in creating the tallest and most elegant building in Pittsburgh at that time. Hornbostel designed more than 225 buildings, bridges, and monuments in the United States including the Soldiers and Sailors National Military Museum and Memorial, Pittsburgh City-County Building, and Carnegie Mellon College of Fine Arts. There are several ways you can help: 1. Come to the ZBA hearing on Thursday and speak directly to the Board. 2. Email or call William Eiler, Vice President, Regional Public Relations at Huntington Bank. - Phone: 412-227-4858 - Email: William.Eiler(a)huntington.com 3. Email or call McKnight Reality, the owner of the Grant Building. Phone: 412-623-8200 - Email: asassoon(a)mcknightrp.com 4. Email the Mayor (askpgh(a)city.pittsburgh.pa.us ), Councilman Lavelle (daniel.lavelle(a)city.pittsburgh.pa.us ), the Tribune Review (opinion(a)tribweb.com - 200 words max) or the Post Gazette (letters(a)post-gazette.com - 250 words max). Tell them: 1. The proposed sign is blights and devalues Pittsburgh's scenic skyline. 2. The proposed sign is an irresponsible waste of electricity that unnecessarily contributes to our nation's energy problems. 3. The people of Pittsburgh should be free to view their city without the constant invasion of commercial messaging promoting corporate interests. 4. Huntington bank can best show its commitment to Pittsburgh by respecting and preserving our scenic views and historic buildings. Thank you for your support and for your commitment to preserving our beloved home and most-livable city. Sincerely, Dave Demko 412-488-4890 x234
