[Highland Park] Typo! Patio umbrella base is $25!
by Patricia Butterfield 17 May '10

17 May '10

Here's my last email with the typo corrected: I've lowered the price! This doesn't fit under my very tiny table and the return postage on a 50-pound item is a killer. The base, designed to anchor a patio umbrella, is green; it's 20" in diameter; and the neck dimensions are 1.75" x 9" length (it will hold a standard 1.50 or 1.75" umbrella pole). I paid $109.90 for it and am now selling it for $25. You can see the base at this link: http://www.allbarstools.com/Dayva-International-MB1xxxx-DA1302.html. If you can't open that link for some reason, email me and I'll send you a PDF copy. The base is very good looking and would be perfect if it fit. Please email me if you're interested in taking a look at it.

[Highland Park] Upcoming Cabaret Performance--not to be missed!!
by Susan Blackman 17 May '10

17 May '10

I'm working on a really fun production with the Renaissance City Choirs--that should be artistically satisfying as well as, uh, well read on: June 4th, 5th and 6th – Let’s Talk About Sex, Baby featuring an ensemble of 8 (including your humble correspondent) RCC Singers in a special Pride Week cabaret performance. They will provide a light- hearted take on everything you always wanted to know about sex (but were afraid to ask) at the Grey Box Theatre, 3595 Butler Street in Lawrenceville. One of my special bits is "Special" from Avenue Q, which was originally performed by the talented Lucy the Slut. I'll try to do it justice. The show will include Tom Lehrer's The Masochism Tango, (amazingly fresh and naughty 50 years later), Gratuitous Nudity from the hit show Naked Boys Singing! and another hilarious number from Avenue Q that will teach you what the Internet is really for. (Statistical documentation may be provided.) Parental discretion is advised. I'll have my three kids there, of course. This is a much better teaching tool than I've ever come up with. I have tickets for sale; you can call 412.362.9484 or order online at rccpittsburgh.com. If you're interested in coming, I'd get them in advance--it's a small performing space and if we sell out, well... Hope to see you there! Susan Blackman susan.blackman(a)verizon.net 412.687.8777

Hi All, I'm new to the Highland park community and I noticed what appears to be a community garden on Stanton Ave. Does anyone know who I would need to talk to in order to reserve a plot? Thanks, Marta

[Highland Park] Bike trailer
by Michelle Butler 17 May '10

The train table has been sold but the bike trailer is still available. Someone had emailed about being interested and I have foolishly lost that message, so if you're still interested, please contact me again. Sorry!

Has anyone had a child in St. Raphael's preschool? I was hoping to hear about other people's experience before deciding whether to sign our son up. Cheers, Michelle -- If you limit your actions in life to things that nobody can possibly find fault with, you will not do much. --Lewis Carroll

by Jonathan King 17 May '10

17 May '10

I know of 100+ very-heavy-duty cardboard boxes available for the taking. STRONG boxes! The hitch is that you need to pick them up on the Southside.
