[Highland Park] New Restaurant
by McPeak, Jennifer L. 02 Jun '08

02 Jun '08

My first post had the wrong street! It is Bellefonte, not Copeland! A new restaurant opened in Shadyside called Pangea. It is on Bellefonte Street (where the old Pasta Piatta was). We went there this weekend and it was great. They are open for lunch and dinner, Tues-Sun. The website is Pangea-Shadyside.com. They told me that the website is going to be updated soon, but the menu will not change substantially. It may not be a *Highland Park* restaurant, but it is still a new East End business, opened by local Pittsburgh people, so support it!! If you are out and about in Shadyside, go in for lunch, a drink, tapas, dinner, etc. Our meals were wonderful!!

[Highland Park] Seems the Yard Sale was successful
by Bob Staresinic 01 Jun '08

01 Jun '08

I know a lot of maps were handed out, and lots of folks were walking around, so I assume the Yard Sales were a success. The weather was very nice, so I hope everyone had fun. Since we are not supposed to be hanging signs on the telephone/light poles, please remove any signs you see for the yard sales as you are out walking. And for the real bargain hunters, tonight is trash night. Bob

[Highland Park] lost cat
by Katherine Smith 30 May '08

30 May '08

I still have not found my black cat Stuey. For anyone who doesn't remember he is about two years old and he's pretty long and slim. He's an asian breed. He does not have a collar. Anyway it was suggested to me to try the reservoir in the morning because there are a bunch of cats who go there to be fed. I went there today at about 8 0'clock and I didn't see anything, so I was either in the wrong place or came at the wrong time. Does anyone know about this? If anyone could give me any information I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Katie my e-mail is krsmith414(a)gmail.com and my # is 412-352-5839

[Highland Park] Pest Control Recommendation
by Mike Ransdell 29 May '08

29 May '08

We are selling our house (unfortunately) and the buyer asked that we have the outside sprayed for carpenter ants. We just need a one time treatment for our small front porch and side porch. Does anyone know of any reasonable pest control companies that work in Highland Park? Mike
