Thanks to everyone. What a great neighborhood this is. I've found a sitter for my dogs while I'm gone. I appreciate your help! ________________________________ From: "neighborhood-request(a)highlandparkpa.com" <neighborhood-request(a)highlandparkpa.com> To: neighborhood(a)highlandparkpa.com Sent: Sunday, March 22, 2009 12:00:45 PM Subject: Neighborhood Digest, Vol 65, Issue 52 Send Neighborhood mailing list submissions to neighborhood(a)highlandparkpa.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.highlandparkpa.com/mailman/listinfo/neighborhood or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to neighborhood-request(a)highlandparkpa.com You can reach the person managing the list at neighborhood-owner(a)highlandparkpa.com When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Neighborhood digest..."

This is NOT the one run by the School of Ed Reading Clinic.

If anyone has had experience with this program, I'd greatly appreciate feedback. Seems like it is a group class and they target reading skills and study skills. Five once-a-week/2.5 hour classes. $289.

We are in posession of two great pairs of tickets for the upcoming K.D.Lang concert on April 7th. (It's a long story.) We only need two seats but have four. Both pairs of seats are in wonderful locations. The concert is at the Benedum Center. One pair of seats is located in the Director's Circle Center, Row CC, Seats 101 and 102. The other pair are in the Orchestra RC Row E, Seats 26 and 28. Each ticket sold for $60 each plus all the tax and fees. We are willing to sell two of these tickets for $60 each. We will sell either of the pairs of seats since both are in really good locations. K.D. puts on an awesome show and we can't wait to see her again. It wil be well worth your investment!

[Highland Park] free crib
by Denver Dash 21 Mar '09

21 Mar '09

Hi. This is an Ikea crib that cost us about $100 less than 1 year ago. Crib is in like new condition. We are getting rid of it because the "low" setting is a little too low to the ground and our baby is fat. Other than that, the crib is great. The crib is free to the first person who wants it. Please send me email or call 412-680-7735. Cheers, Denver Dash.
