[Highland Park] In Search of Mary Poppins...
by blackacre＠tmo.blackberry.net 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

We are searching for an experienced trustworthy, reliable, and creative non-smoking caregiver with a flexible schedule to care for our active and fun-loving 8 month-old and 3 year-old several evenings a week (days vary week to week, but we know the schedule 4-6 weeks in advance). Must have a car as it involves picking the kids up in Squirrel Hill between 5 and 6pm on needed nights (we'll provide the car seats), and getting them home to Highland Park and fed, etc. till a parent arrives home around 7:30. One or two days a month will involve later nights. Must have references, a good driving record, and have (or be eligible for) Act 33 and 34 clearances. We are hoping to find someone interested in filling the position in the long-term, and who will become like part of our family and develop a great, caring bond with our kids. In general, the position would be about 25-30 hours per month (more if available for any weekend babysitting needs). Please reply by email, or call (267)205-3821 (leave a message if I miss the call), if interested. Thanks! Leigh Sent from my BlackBerry wireless handheld.

[Highland Park] Car breakins
by Alfred Boutros 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

I agreed. This seems to be increasing. I think we need to do something as a neighborhood about these breakins, as it is happening every day. Either get the police on it, or create a neighborhood watch, or something. I want a safe neighborhood!!!

[Highland Park] LAW Gang
by Jessica Miller 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

With all the reports of problems with younger people I thought I would mention what I understand to be true about the local LAW gang. I don't see too many of them usually, but there were a group of three young people dressed all in black (the gang color) hanging for a good while on a corner near my house yesterday. I was going out for errands and decided I would wait until I got back and see if they were still there before I alerted the authorities. They were gone when I got back, perhaps because of the blue porch light I still have up (people started doing this when the tragedy of the 3 local officers being slain occurred, I keep mine up as a symbol of safety) or maybe because of diligent neighbors. As I understand it, this gang started when the crip and blood gangs first reached this area, as a way of protesting either gang. But then the people wearing all black felt they were targeted as a gang and so they became one. LAW stands for Larimer Wilkensburgh. Jessica Miller, Chislett St.

[Highland Park] Raynold's Restaurant
by Susan Ryan 21 Jan '10

21 Jan '10

I was driving down Bryant St. last night and noticed lights and activity on the ground floor of the former Raynold's or Reynold's restaurant (across from Smiling Banana Leaf). Does anyone know what is developing there? Let's home something great for Bryant St. and the neighborhood! Another unrelated thing: I was at the King Estate sledding hill last week and noticed about 5 plastic garbage bin lids which must have been used by kids. If you are missing a lid this might be a place to look.
