These were given to us a wedding gift but we have no use for them. We're trying not to hang onto things for sentimental purposes and figured someone would enjoy using them. Heather

[Highland Park] Large box for packing or playing
by Heather Cramer 06 Apr '11

06 Apr '11

I set a large - probably 4 feet tall - box out on our walkway for anyone to take. It would make a fun box for a child to build a fort or could be used for packing. It's pretty sturdy. 817 N. Negley beside the Union Project. Have fun! Heather

[Highland Park] Fence laws
by Cara Rufenacht 06 Apr '11

06 Apr '11

My husband and I own a home in Highland Park and would like to build a wooden fence on the back side of our property. There is already a chain link fence where we want to build ours. I am wondering if anyone knows if there is a zoning process we need to go through to do this, or if it is different depending on if we replace the existing fence or build a new one next to the old one. Any thoughts or recommendations welcome. Thanks, Cara

[Highland Park] And while we're on the subject....

...of dog poo, just because your dog poops in the park does not mean that you don't need to clean up after it! My neighbors and I walk our dogs every morning on the hill by the Farmhouse and every day we pick up piles and piles of dog poo that other people have left. Our parks are used not only by your dog, but by other people walking and hiking and running, kids playing, and other dogs romping. No one wants to get dog poop on them or navigate all those nasty land mines, so please remember that *the park is not your dog's personal toilet. *

[Highland Park] Marathon to support scholarship fund
by Heather Cramer 06 Apr '11

06 Apr '11

Dear neighbors, On May 15th, I will be running the Pittsburgh Marathon, my second marathon to raise money for the Michael C. Snyder Memorial Fund, a scholarship established in memory of a dear friend whose life was taken too early seven years ago. Two scholarships are awarded each year to students in my home of Frederick County, Maryland - one for a student involved in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program (Michael was a dedicated Big Brother) and the other for a student planning on studying art or education. Both recipients are chosen based on merit and financial need. Please help me do the work that Michael would have done by donating any amount to my 26.2 mile run for this cause. You can donate directly and learn more about Michael by going to * http://www.cffredco.org/funds/index.php?v=view&fid=518* Thank you so much for your caring support! Heather Cramer
