[Highland Park] Fwd: PULSEations 2011 is Two Weeks Away! Do you have your tickets yet?
by Alicia Donner 06 Apr '11

06 Apr '11

Greetings Highland Park! As a participant in the Pittsburgh Urban Leadership Service Experience (PULSE) for the 2010-11 year, I would like to cordially extend an invitation to all to attend our annual celebration and fundraiser, PULSEations, which will be held Friday, April 15, 2011 from 6:30pm to 9pm in the Union Project (801 N Negley Ave). Here is a link to more information on the program http://pulsepittsburgh.org/ and here (and below) is more information on the event http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=7669f4c09a209b29418e7a0fd&id=087e6a9230… . PULSE brought me to not only the wonderful city of Pittsburgh, but also to this wonderful neighborhood, where I have been able to spend the past seven months living and serving. I have really enjoyed my time here, meeting people through Knitters and Crocheters, events at the UP and tree plantings, including the very successful planting this past Saturday. Thank you for being such a fun and welcoming community! I'm very excited to experience more as my PULSE year winds down, and would love to share celebrating all PULSE has accomplished in its 16 years with all of you! Have a wonderful Thursday!

[Highland Park] In search of sewing supplies

06 Apr '11

Dear Neighbors, I have another request for my Girl Scout Troop. We will be making pillowcase dresses for an organization to send to Africa. We are in need of bias tape - at least 1/2 inch, plus sturdy ribbon, such as grosgrain, and extra non-white pillowcases you might have. I already have enough pillowcases for each girl to make one dress. It's the bias tape and ribbon that we need the most. Here's the organization: http://www.littledressesforafrica.org/blog/ If you can help, please let me know. I can pick up. Thank you very much! Joan S. Farragut Street

[Highland Park] Child Care Recommendations
by Matt Richards 06 Apr '11

06 Apr '11

My wife and I are having our first child this summer, and we're looking into child care options for the fall. We thought we'd ask here if folks have recommendations for child development centers close by. By close I mean we'd like to stay in the East End - doesn't have to be HP or East Liberty. We'd also be open to recommendations for in-home care if folks know of good people that do that. Thanks in advance! Matt Richards

[Highland Park] Re: Huntington Bank Shows Commitment to Pittsburgh by Defacing Historic Landmark
by Dave Demko 06 Apr '11

06 Apr '11

Hello All again, I have it from two sources now that the April 7 Zoning Board of adjustment hearing will be postponed until April 28. I will update you with the correct date as soon as the new date and time is confirmed. Dave Demko 412-488-7490 x234 ________________________________ From: Dave Demko Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2011 2:48 PM To: 'miked(a)scenicpittsburgh.org' Subject: Huntington Bank Shows Commitment to Pittsburgh by Defacing Historic Landmark Dear Friends of Scenic Pittsburgh, Renowned architect Henry Hornbostel (1867-1961) must be turning in his grave. On April 7 at 10;10 AM. The Pittsburgh zoning Board of adjustment will hear a request from Huntington Bank, to place a "High Wall Business Id Sign" on a Pittsburgh landmark, the Grant Building. www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/news/cityregion/s_729620.html. By framing this desecration as "representing (Huntington's) growth and commitment to Pittsburgh", Huntington Bank, based in Columbus Ohio, will parasitically attach itself to our city's architectural heritage and claim our cultural identity as its own. Henry Hornbostel created the Grant Building in the classic Beaux Arts style to compete with the great high rises of the early twentieth century. Developers spared no expense, cladding the building in Swedish Granite at its base and topping the building with a flamboyant neon tower that spells out P-I-T-T-S-B-U-R-G-H in Morse code. The Grant Building succeeded the First National Bank Building in 1928 as the tallest skyscraper in the city. Henry Hornbostel designed more than 225 buildings, bridges, and monuments in the United States; currently 22 are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Nearly half of his works (110) were in Pittsburgh, where in 1904 he won the campus design competition for Andrew Carnegie's Carnegie Technical Schools (today's Carnegie Mellon University). He also helped to establish Carnegie Mellon School of Architecture that same year. His works include the Soldiers and Sailors National Military Museum and Memorial, Pittsburgh City-County Building, Carnegie Mellon College of Fine Arts, the Rodef Shalom Temple and the Smithfield United Church. Huntington Bank is requesting a variance to locate the sign above the roofline of the Grant building, which is currently prohibited by zoning code. It is imperative we communicate to the Zoning Board, our opposition to this variance request. Please plan to attend the Zoning Board of Adjustment meeting on April 7, 2011, at 10:10 AM, at 200 Ross Street, Pittsburgh. Also, please take a moment to write to 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) and tell them how you feel about sacrificing Pittsburgh's skyline to corporate branding. Keep up the good fight, Dave Demko 412-488-7490 x234
