[Highland Park] Electrician Recommendations?
by C D 18 Dec '08

18 Dec '08

I'm looking for a good, reliable* electrician who can do a moderately-sized job. The job will entail (1) putting up four lights in the ceiling of my garage, (2) rewiring a few of the two- and three-gang light switches in my kitchen and first- and second-floor hallway so that they'll take the old-fashioned button lights, (3) repairing a four-plug outlet in my basement which mysteriously stopped working one day, and (4) adding a two-plug outlet to one of my third-floor rooms. I already have the light fixtures for the garage and all of the button-switches; the only materials needed would be the new two-plug outlet and whatever wiring was needed to complete the other jobs. Ideally, I'd like to hire a retired electrician who is just looking to pick up some cash on the side. I'll hire a company to do it, but only if absolutely necessary. Please let me know anyone you can recommend. Thanks! --Jack *By reliable, I mean someone who'll actually show up when he says he will and do a competent job in a reasonable amount of time.

[Highland Park] Costumes for 3-7 year old
by KATHLEEN NAYLON-SCHULTZ 17 Dec '08

Hello neighbors! I am looking for anyone who would like to get rid of boys costumes. My 3 year old the size of a 4 year old likes to dress up and I would like to give him a box of costumes as a gift. I am looking for batman, spiderman or any other costumes for a 4-6 year old or a 7-8 year old (likes to try to get his almost 7 year old brother to also dress up with him) I was hoping to pay between 5 and ten dollars a costume. Thanks! K schultz 412 362 9488

All, I am currently using Verizon Wireless as my carrier for my mobile phone. I am thinking of switching to AT&T Mobile but I am wondering about what the AT&T coverage is like in the Highland Park area. Any information would be appreciated it. Thank you.

[Highland Park] Looking to donate Christmas decorations to a nonprofit organization...
by Lori Kasenter 15 Dec '08

15 Dec '08

...or other worthy cause. I have a lot of very nice Christmas decorations from my mother that I can't use -- about ten boxes worth of wreaths, creches, musical figurines, snowglobes, tree ornaments, plush musical snowmen, etc. that I would like to donate to an organization that would give them to people who can't afford to spend money on these things. They are all very nice items, clean and in good shape. I tried East End Cooperative Ministries and they don't have a use for them. I'm looking for other suggestions. Obviously time is running out for people to enjoy them this year. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Lori Kasenter
