by Constanza Ehrenhaus 21 Nov '10

21 Nov '10

Hi! My husband and I are still reorganizing the apartment for the upcoming baby and we are getting rid of our two floor lamps. They are in excellent shape but we really wanted to replace them with new lamps that match our decor better. These are ideal for a modern look, and we have a more earthy warm tones look. The lamps are your typical Mainstays basic lamp, silver metal stand and plastic shade: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Ms-Floor-Combo-Silver-Ca/13278915and http://www.walmart.com/ip/Ms-Opp-Floor-Black-Ca/13278918 (but in gray-silver.) They retail for $25 and $30 (total $55), we'll sell them for $35 both. Thank you for reading! Coty.-

[Highland Park] Free: oak futon frame, beechwood dresser-top changing table top, ottoman
by Heather Conrad 21 Nov '10

21 Nov '10

I am trying to de-clutter and figured some of this stuff could come in handy for someone. The futon frame is very pretty wood, full-sized, I think, and disassembled and ready to go. The connectors for the bed to the frame probably need to be screwed into the bed (see the picture of the stuff in the baggy - it is, but if you are willing use it as a sofa only or are willing to support it on the bottom with something, you don't need to do that extra work. Pretty easy to assemble with an allen wrench and a screwdriver. The changing table will convert a regular dresser to a changing station. It is beautiful, but we don't need it and just need it out! fits a dresser 38" wide by up to 22.5" deep. Top dimension is larger with the side shelf. And the footstool has some fading, but is very functional and maybe shabby-chic? :-) Or it could use a throw. We are out of room in our house and it needs to go! Here is a link to photos of all: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/sredir?uname=ConradHS&target=ALBUM&id=552724…. I would like them out asap. -- Heather "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and it looks like work." Thomas Edison

Hi neighbors, I am doing some pre-Xmas cleaning and found a 36-month subscription of Everyday Food. They are a few years old ( 2004-2007). They are really great, but I have no use for them any more. If anyone is interested, please e-mail me back and I can arrange to set them on my front porch. Thanks, Lori Farragut St

[Highland Park] holiday driving help!
by Justine Cassell 21 Nov '10

21 Nov '10

Dear Neighbors, Having just moved here, I'm still not familiar with traffic patterns over the Thanksgiving weekend. Nevertheless I've promised to pick somebody up at the airport and then drive 300 miles East (to a destination directly off Route 80) on the day before Thanksgiving. Here's my question: the various online mapping programs suggest two alternate routes and I'm trying to decide which is fastest - Route 22 or Route 28? thanks - and thanks so much list managers for this invaluable list! -justine

[Highland Park] The Environmental Charter School
by Lydia Blank 21 Nov '10

21 Nov '10

Hi neighbors! Over the last three years, The Environmental Charter School at Frick Park (ECS) has provided a vibrant, innovative educational program for students in grades K through 5. By 2013, ECS will accommodate grades K-8. As the student population continues to grow, the campus will need to expand beyond its current location at 829 Milton Street. On December 7, 2010, ECS will be proposing expansion to the former Park Place School building, 309 South Braddock Avenue, to the City of Pittsburgh Planning Commission. If approved, the Park Place campus will then accommodate grades K-3, while the Milton Street campus will accommodate grades 4-8. Your support is paramount for this project's success. There is a petition being circulated, both a hard copy and online asking for community support for this expansion. Please sign only if you are a City of Pittsburgh resident, and please sign only once (paper or online, but not both). Even if you don't live in the city, you can ask your friends, family, co-workers, etc. who DO live in the city to support ECS by signing. Feel free to forward this email to your friends too.... To sign, just click the link below to connect to the PCO website. There you'll find a button to click on to fill out the petition. It only takes 2 seconds. http://www.ecspco.org/pco_blog/ Thanks very much! Lydia Blank HP Neighbor

[Highland Park] good handyman- Greg Gordon
by margot＠is-east.com 20 Nov '10

20 Nov '10

If anyone needs a handyman, I highly recommend Greg Gordon at 412 853-9740. We had several different types of jobs around the house and he did a great job on all of them. He was able to repair the mechanism in a 100 yr old door lock (and find parts for it), repair gutters, painted and basically went above and beyond. Margot Cavalier --
