[Highland Park] What to do when the school vans speed...
by Mary Jo Dorsey 10 Jan '08

10 Jan '08

Hello fellow frustrated residents who experience disregard for the school zone at Dillworth and Heberton/Meadows. This morning as I stopped at the intersection on Stanton Ave heading across Heberton/Meadows toward Highland, a SCHOOL VAN sped through the stop sign at Meadows (not stopping at all) and turned left onto Stanton at a disturbing speed. I was in disbelief. Drivers often skim that intersection and treat the stop signs as optional, however, this was at 9:20 AM, some children were still about, the markers were still in the cross-walks, and this was a school van. My question is: How is this type of negligence kept in balance? I did record the van license number, it's van number and the color of the van. I caught a glimpse of the 2 females in the driver/passenger seat, but I'm not sure where to begin. Is the van line run by a private company or by the school district? It made me very angry to see this blatent disregard for safety. The fact that it was a school van brought my thoughts to post here. Thanks for comments.

[Highland Park] Egging on...
by Pierina Morelli 09 Jan '08

09 Jan '08

The egging of our home on Mellon Street continues--- as I was checking the house before going to bed tonight, I noticed egg shells on the front porch---we got hit again! A couple of eggs were thrown at our front door. Good thing I saw it because it is so much easier to clean up when the eggs are fresh. We called 911 and an officer did stop by but since nothing was broken there is no report but at least they are aware of what is going on. Pierina Morelli 817 Mellon Street

We are looking for someone to sit for our five-year old week-day evenings. The ideal person would be an adult with a car. There would be frequent work, though the schedule is irregular. David & Heather <shumway(a)cmu.edu>

[Highland Park] reupholsterer recommendations
by Olga Watkins 09 Jan '08

09 Jan '08

Below is the list of recommendations for reupholstery that I received. Thanks to everyone for your input. This is very helpful. Olga Lozo Cvitkusic did a nice job on a piece of mine: (412) 884-7404, from Irina Tom Chianelli, located on Centre Avenue, did some nice, reasonably priced work for us many years ago (restyled and reupholstered a convertible sofa). Chianelli is still in business, and it's probably worth giving them a call. Sorry I don't have their number anymore, but I'm sure it's in the phone book, from Ward Kelsey Betty's Upholstery on Butler is good. I had all my front porch furniture reupholstered and she did a great job! I thought she was reasonable, I used my own fabric and she was fast!, from Janet Burgett My favorite all time greatest guy is Lee Carrington. He has done all my antique pieces and is a perfectionist. His # is 412-665-9663. He is on Lincoln Ave and will pick up and deliver. He is a neat person as well!! From Marty Harkins i've always been happy with the selection, service and quality at gene sanes in the strip. just be prepared to be blown away by the prices. reupholstery is incredibly pricey, but in the end you get the fabric, color and style you want. From, Stacie I used to work in the Design & Construction Department for Kaufmann's Department Store before it merged with Filenes and now Macy's. We very frequently used an upholsterer in the Strip who did excellent work. Most of the furniture we had reupholstered was chairs used for restroom lobbies, dressing rooms, etc. but I think most of their business is residential. 1645 Penn Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222 info(a)genesanes.com Phone: 412-471-8224----Fax: 412-471-8002 Hope this helps! Christy Fitzpatrick Betty's down on Butler Street is competent and reasonably priced. From, Michelle Belan They were pricey, but I used Gene Sanes Upholstery on Penn Ave. in the strip district. They not only reupholstered an old chair that had been in the family for generations, but touched up the wood work as well. It turned out really nice., from Michelle Danielson -- www.olgawatkins.com www.myspace.com/soulkitchenband Olga Watkins, Diva Go ahead...Google me.
