[Highland Park] List of notaries in HP area
by Neepa Majumdar 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

First, thanks to everyone for their suggestions. Since some people asked, I'm posting the suggestions on the list. I omitted those that weren't clear, required some kind of membership, or were too far away. Neepa 1) The largest number of recommendations were for: AAA in East Liberty (Baum Blvd) – you don’t need to be a member. 2) Kinko at East Side near Walgreen's and Whole foods 3) Debbie at Huston and Sons on Main St. -it's just over the Highland Park bridge, Sharpsburg exit, then right onto Main St. They are on right side -big new building with parking lot and signage. Their #is781-(TAXS) 8297 and she's there everyday 4) Any state representative or senator's office has a notary available and free of charge. Call Dom Costa or Jim Ferlo's office for times they are available. 5) I am a Notary Public and I live in Highland Park, on Farragut Street between Jackson and Wellesley. I am happy to do notarizations by appointment. I am not available today, but could make almost any other day work to meet with you, if you are still in need of a Notary. I also wanted to let you know that by law Notaries are only allowed to charge a maximum of $5 per notarization. If anyone tries to charge more than that per notarization, then they are breaking the law! Susan Davis McIntosh, Notary Public susan.davis.mcintosh(a)gmail.com 412-335-9371 6) Having been one myself, I can tell you that ALL notaries are required by law to charge the same price for notary services. There is a clause which lets them charge for “additional services” for which they can set their own price, and in this area there are unfortunately many unscrupulous or just plain not-so-bright notaries who will tell you this means they can charge you extra for a notarization. It doesn’t. I haven’t looked for a while, but I believe for a simple notarization the fee is $5. If you have any questions about what a notarization would cost, just call PAN, the PA Association of notaries at 1-800-944-8790. They can confirm what I tell you, can find a notary for you, and if anyone tries to charge you more than the required fee to notarize your signature, they should be reported. The only place in this area that I have personally found (though I don’t need them very often) is AAA in Motor Square garden. You do NOT have to be a member, the line is usually very short, and they (as they should) only charge you the fee set by law. By the way, all notaries are required by law to display a prominent sign listing their fees (both the ‘notary’ fees set by the state, and the fees for ‘other’ things, such as photocopying. .

[Highland Park] break in on Jackson
by Sherry Goldman 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

We live on Jackson near Heberton and we were robbed today while we were away. They got our laptop, our speaker and our iPOD, all three things we use for our volunteer musical group. The iPOD was not even paid off yet. They broke the basement door to get in. The lack of conscience that allows people to do things like that does not compute for me!
