[Highland Park] ballroom dancing
by Denise 05 Sep '07

05 Sep '07

Hi folks, Are there any ballroom dance afficianados on the list? I am looking for a place to go dancing on Friday or Saturday nights; swing, latin or classical ballroom. I am having a hard time finding any other than the dances at the Wightman Center or Chatham College. I was hoping for more of a nightclub atmosphere. -- Denise Lohr PetSitPgh, LLC Professional Pet Sitting Services 412-956-0787 www.petsitpgh.com "If I had it to do over, I'd fall in love with myself at a much younger age."

[Highland Park] Tree-located

Hi all - Thanks for your enthusiastic response to my offer of evergreens; it's good to know that I live in a neighborhood of tree-huggers and -planters. All of the foundlings/seedlings have new homes. Since I'm likely to end up with other plants needing homes, I'll be sure to post to the list. Best wishes - Helen

[Highland Park] ROUND 'EM UP! Pony Rides!!
by Bruce Robison 04 Sep '07

04 Sep '07

September 9 is "Round Up Sunday" at St. Andrew's--corner of Hampton Street and N. Euclid Avenue in Highland Park-- each year the first big day of our fall season. Services are at 9 and 11 a.m.--and at the 11 a.m. service we will have our full choir, happily returned and well-rested after their summer hiatus, and as special guest musician, all the way from England, Mr. Joseph Nolan, whose official title is "Organist of Her Majesty's Chapels Royal at St. James Palace." Nursery Care for infants and very young children is available 8:45 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. Between the two morning services, from 9:45 - 10:45 a.m., a new year begins for our very popular, Montessori-based Godly Play classes (Pre-K - 5th grades) and our Sunday morning Youth Gathering (6th grade-high school). The Adult "Coffee and Conversation" Forum begins at 10 a.m. And "after church," around noon, we'll gather in the Churchyard on Hampton Street for a festive Round Up Sunday Picnic, with chicken, chili, and all kinds of great food --and with PONY RIDES for the kids! All neighborhood folk, individuals and families, are warmly invited. It's helpful to rsvp (412 661-1245) so we have a rough idea about how many chairs and tables to set up . . . and if you'd like to bring a salad or side dish to share, that would be delightful. But do join us! Bruce Robison

[Highland Park] two questions
by esellner 04 Sep '07

04 Sep '07

Hi Neighbors, I am in need of recommendations for a house cleaner for an elderly friend of mine who lives in Morning side. If you know of anyone reliable and trust worthy looking for an extra house to clean about every other week, please let me know. Also, wondering if any of you home remodelers have any suggestions for the best way to strip a hundred years of paint off old wood (trim, banister and spindles) We looked into strip and dip, and it was very costly. Thanks for the help! Erin and Rad
