[Highland Park] Looking for a House to Rent
by David DeLong 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

Hi neighbors, I'm sending out this request for a friend who is in a bind and needs to find a 3 or 4 bedroom house or apartment to rent, preferably starting February 1. This would be for their family. They are very responsible—long time home owners and professionally employed. I'd have no problem renting to them myself, if I had an appropriate place. They need to stay in the Allderdice feeder area (generally Squirrel Hill or Point Breeze neighborhoods) so their kids can stay in their current schools. I know this is a Highland Park email list, but hey, we're all East Enders, right? If anyone knows of any places that may fit the bill, or anyone who may be able to assist with this, please let me know at this email address, or call me at 412-303-0747 and I'll get them in touch.

[Highland Park] Contractor Needed to Install Single Unit Wall Oven
by Shawn McGill 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

I'm now into a month of dealing with an awful home warranty company and still no operating oven. Finally we at least have the single unit wall oven ready for install. Now I need to find a contractor/electrician who can complete some woodworking and install the unit. The new oven is about 3/8 of an inch too wide on each side, so cuts need to be made into the wooden frame of the wall. The oven is electric and I would like the same person to complete the install. Your recommendations are greatly appreciated. The anticipation of a warm meal is wearing me down. Thanks, Shawn

[Highland Park] Looking for a Few Dedicated Gardeners
by Nancy Levine-Arnold 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

Dear Neighbors Do you love gardening? Would you like to help make Highland Park a more beautiful place to live/work/visit? I'm looking for a few volunteers to help replant and/or maintain the flower beds near the pillars at the main entrance to Highland Park. The Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy will provide plants, mulch and support. I anticipate the time commitment for this will be 2-3 hours in May for planting and an hour for maintenance, 2 times a month from June to September. If you are interested, please respond to me by email. If you are new to gardening, but would like to try it out, we will teach. If you are a Master Gardener, this is your chance to pick up some volunteer hours. See attached file for more details and pictures of the beds Thank You for considering, Nancy Arnold -- EAT GREEN! Looking for restaurants that care about the environment? Check out www.dinegreen.com.

Thanks to all for recommending Google Maps for finding bus routes. Not sure why I didn't think to do that! Luckily, we'll be staying in Highland Park so we don't need to worry about it, but it's good to know for future reference. best, Heather

Hello neighbors, I'm wondering if anyone has had experience filing their taxes w/ Adams & Associates - good, bad? If not, do you have a suggestion for a good tax-preparer? Had a relatively poor experience w/ another company last year (first time filing taxes in Pittsburgh) and would rather not go through that again! Thanks, Megan Olson Hunt N. St. Clair Street P.S. For those of you who have been voting for Steel City Greyhounds via Pepsi, I wanted to let you all know we WON the $5,000 in December! Thanks to everyone who helped out.
