[Highland Park] Dog Problems
by Lynn Raith 05 Apr '11

05 Apr '11

Please when you walk your dogs past others landscaping and/or lawns do not let then urinate on shrubbery! It kills them!!!!!!!!!! We have had to replace expensive bushes every year because of this issue. We have a little "no dogs permitted" sign to remind people but it does not seem to work for some. They think if it not solid waste that it is alright. When we have caught the people in the act we have spoken to the offenders but they act like we are being rude!

[Highland Park] Looking for a 1BR Apartment for May or June
by Ian Riggins 05 Apr '11

05 Apr '11

Hello, I sent an e-mail about this early last month and got some great responses, but I thought I might check again just to make sure I've got all my bases covered. My girlfriend and I are moving back to Pittsburgh this May/June (depending when our lease starts) so that she can work and I can attend graduate school. We are looking for a 1 BR apartment (or relatively cheap 2 BR) that is cat friendly and is somewhere within the $500 - $700 range. We own one well-behaved cat and will not be acquiring any more. Since we live out of town at the moment, it is sort of hard to get down to Pittsburgh to look at apartments frequently. We will be in Pittsburgh this weekend (Saturday April 9th and Sunday April 10th), and if anyone knows of any apartments that we might be able to look at during that time, we would be very grateful. Please let me know if you have any information that might help. Thank you for your time! Ian Riggins

The second best time is now.” Our community met that second best time last week, but it was a first time for so many of us in terms of neighborhood enjoyment, camaraderie , and just plain old fashioned fun. We spanned many generations in our accomplishment, from the young ones to the elders – everybody pitched in and we planted trees such that our young ones will be the elders for the next planting. Thanks so much for the opportunity to meet and greet neighbors and our talented “Tree Specialists”. Paolo Lugari, the genius of “Gaviotas” said that every single person should become involved in planting 100 trees in their lifetime – Well we have started, haven’t we? @font-face { font-family: "Times New Roman"; }@font-face { font-family: "Arial"; }@font-face { font-family: "宋体"; }@font-face { font-family: "Calibri"; }p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri; }table.MsoNormalTable { font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; }div.Section1 { page: Section1; Thanks to Caitlin, Nancy all the members from TreePittsburghOrgregards,Gioconda ---

[Highland Park] Selling items
by Isobel 05 Apr '11

05 Apr '11

Dear HP neighbors, As you know, I have been selling lots of items over the last several months and many of you have purchased them. So thanks very much. I'm writing this note because someone recently accused me of using the listserv to operate an EBay business and I wanted to clarify my intentions. I'm in the process of selling my house and moving out of state so won't be taking most of my possessions with me. I thought it would be nice to offer these things to my neighbors first. Therefore this is downsizing, not running a business.
