[Highland Park] Missing Cat?
by Margo Dominicis 30 Aug '09

30 Aug '09

We saw a smallish, black and brown cat with white chest and paws in our front yard this morning. When we opened the front door, it took off down the sidewalk. Is anyone missing a cat that fits this description? If so, he/she was on the 5500 block of Wellesley Avenue around 9:30am on Sunday. -- Margo Dominicis

[Highland Park] mattress for sale
by judi teeter 29 Aug '09

29 Aug '09

Hi neighbors, I have a queen size Sealy Calais pillow top firm mattress with box spring, very nice and used for only three years, with metal frame. It is almost 15" and very plush and comfy. I was about to post this on Craig's list and decided to see if anyone in the neighborhood would like to buy it. I cannot remember what I purchased it for, but I checked current prices (the current model is called Crystal Creek) and the cheapest I found for a new one like this is $1,200 for the set plus the frame. I will sell this set for $450.00. We could provide some assistance with moving it as well. Judi Teeter

[Highland Park] Good news! Angie's list does it for us!
by msranders 29 Aug '09

Please consider joining and posting your contractor feedback to Angie's List. I love Angie's list and turn to it w/ every project. I do ask for feedback from the HP list, but then I take all those names and go check them out at Angie's List and see what the rest of Pittsburgh has to say about the same contractors. Why keep our feedback trapped in the neighborhood, when the whole community can benefit? https://www.angieslist.com/angieslist/Login.aspx [Highland Park] vendo/ contractor database Friday, August 28, 2009 11:12 AM From: "Sherry Goldman" <sherry.goldman(a)verizon.net> To: "Highland Park" <neighborhood(a)highlandparkpa.com> Dear neighbors, I remember what a great resource the Highland Park Contractor list was. It's now very old and needs to be updataed. As just a document, it is very difficult to maintain. With all of the information being posted about good and bad contractors, I am getting very overwhelmed. I propose that we start a database that we can keep updated from which we could post a current report, monthly or weekly. I am a microsoft Access database programmer and I would be willing to donate my time to CREATE, SET UP, and PROGRAM (menus and all) an Access database for this purpose. I enjoy doing this. BUT, I despise entering data! So if we could get a few volunteers to keep up with the data, I'd be willing to stay on as consultant for any program bugs or new features you would like to implement as long as someone ELSE took care of maintaining data. I think this would be a great resource for the community. Any intersest from the neighbors?

[Highland Park] 2 free Sofas
by YC Harvey 29 Aug '09

29 Aug '09

Hi Neighbors, We're doing some end-of-summer cleaning, and clearing out two IKEA sofas. The first sofa has some faint pen marks here and there on the arms; but its cushion covers are removable and washable. The second sofa pictured is actually white underneath and comes with the cover shown--plus one solid black, one solid cream, and one solid fuchsia cover. Both in good condition. Yours to haul away. E-mail me directly. Thanks, YC Harvey IMG_0847.JPG

[Highland Park] Harry Emmitt
by Irina Livezeanu 29 Aug '09

Your warning comes late for me. Harry Emmit had been highly recommended by a couple of people on the list. A month ago I called him to fix a leak in my garage. He pressured me into having the roof fixed that very day without getting other estimates. I kept asking if the water might not be coming in from the ground. He assured me that the roof repair would take care of the problem. The next time it rained there was water in the garage again in the in the same place. He came back once after many phone calls, but not when it was raining. He acknowledged that he needed to be there when it was raining, and said he would fix the problem. But each time I've called during a rain he hasn't answered and he has not returned messages. I've paid $500 for nothing.

[Highland Park] Dog park?
by Cate Stevens-Davis 28 Aug '09

28 Aug '09

Hi everyone - We're new transplants to Highland Park from Squirrel Hill and I'd heard there was a dog park near the main entrance of the park. Last night we wandered up there with our pup, but couldn't find it. Do I have outdated information or did I miss it? I admit we weren't very exhaustive in our searching. :) Thanks! Cate

[Highland Park] stolen kayak?
by Sean Patrick Rice 28 Aug '09

28 Aug '09

Last night when I was walking my dog, two young boys (mid teens?) were carrying a kayak down the street, which seemed suspicious to me, especially at that late hour. As I got closer to them, one of the boys asked me if I wanted to buy a 'canoe'. Assuming it was stolen, I pretended to get angry and said it was my kayak and I was walking around the neighborhood looking for it. My pretend anger and large dog must have been enough persuasion for the boys, because they dropped the kayak and ran off. I carried it back to my place, where it is in safe storage, locked up. If you are missing a kayak, or know some one who is, please email me back with the type of kayak and colour, and I will gladly return it to you. As a side note too, since bike thefts seemed to be pretty high earlier this summer, it might be a good reminder to everyone to check the status of their recreational gear, and remember to try to keep it locked up somehow, if it has to be outside. --Sean
