[Highland Park] car vandalism, again
by Lynne Porterfield 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

Sometime during the night (Monday) a bullet or BB shattered the glass of a parked car on Grafton St. It looks as though the projectile entered the side window, creating a small hole, and exited through the rear window, shattering the glass in the side and rear windows. The car is a station wagon so the window extends the width of the back of the car. Neither we nor the dog heard any noise, but the windows of the car were intact yesterday. This follows an incident last week where someone apparently spray painted houses and cars on the the same street. Locking car doors doesn't help with this type of vandalism. I called 911 to file a report.

[Highland Park] Twin Soft-sided Waterbed for sale
by Amy Maceyko 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

Bed includes mattress and reinforced box spring. Works with typical twin bedding and twin bed frame (not included) and looks just like a regular twin bed once assembled. The water chamber is surrounded by a 2-3" thick mattress, which minimizes the water motion and eliminates the chance for puncture while still allowing the mattress to conform to your body and remove pressure from the spine. The waterbed is not heated. Bed comes from a non-smoking home with two cats. Best offer. You haul. thanks, Amy p.s. We just made a donation to Off the Floor Pittsburgh and had a great experience with them, but this wasn't an item that they were willing to take.

[Highland Park] Is someone missing their cat?
by Jennifer McCarthy 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

Hello Neighbors, Is someone missing their cat? I found a cat in my yard and then it scampered under my car. I called it and it started mewing and then came to me. She (?) seems to be pretty healthy and in good condition, though is missing some hair on the back of her neck and possibly a small wound there as well. I gave her some food, which she scarfed up but she doesn't look as if she is starving. She was extremely friendly and vocal and would have come straight in the house if I let her - but I don't think my cats would have been very understanding. I left her on the porch w/ food and water but I don't know if she will stay. She was not wearing a collar but must belong to someone in HP or Morningside. Please see photos attached. Let me know is she belongs to you. Thank you, Jen Hampton Street

[Highland Park] RE: Soliciting recommendations for cat vet (dental work)
by Bob Griewahn Jr 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

I received over a dozen responses to my request for cat vets who do good dental work. My thanks to everyone who wrote to me. I very much appreciate your input. There were no negative comments about particular vets. Interestingly, though, the expensive vet specialist I had been steered towards received no recommendations. Furthermore, all the recommendations I received were for vets who charged less than half of what I had been quoted. Several folks asked that I forward the responses, so here are the recommendations: East End Vet Medical Center (Drs. Cangin & Fisher) - 6 votes Pittsburgh Spay and Vaccination Clinic (Dr. Wiles) - 5 votes Cat Clinic - 2 votes Penn Animal Hospital - 1 vote Pittsburgh Animal Hospital - 1 vote VCA Fox Chapel - 1 vote Banfield Pet - 1 vote So, East End Vet Medical Center and Pittsburgh Spay and Vaccination Clinic were the winners. I should note that I use and recommend the Cat Clinic, but they don't handle the type of dental work my cat needs. My thanks, again, to everyone who responded. --Bob--

[Highland Park] weekend getaway to Laurel Highlands/OhioPyle
by MAUREEN DOLAN 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

Hello neighbors, I am planning a weekend getaway to the Laurel Highlands/Ohiopyle area. I am looking for accommodations. There are two of us travelling. Nothing fancy, just a place to relax after biking/hiking all day. Has anyone had a good experience at a specific place? Do you own a place and are looking to fill it with a renter for a couple of nights? Any information would be helpful! Thanks! Maureen
