[Highland Park] Tailor suggestions... what you recommended
by Jamie Phillips 05 Jun '07

05 Jun '07

Hi neighbors, Thanks for all of the responses! For a neighborhood tailor, there were multiple, multiple positive endorsements for Augie, the tailor on Bryant Street. Some other suggestions include Rocky the Tailor on Liberty Ave in Bloomfield, and for bridesmaid dresses in particular, Clarissa's on the Southside, or the New Oakland Tailor on Meyran Avenue in Oakland. Some phone numbers are below. Thanks everyone! Jamie For a bridesmaid dress, I would go to Clarissa Boutique on the South Side. They are slow, though. So allow plenty of time.412-432-329917th St. and East Carson St I had a dress suit taken in / sleeves shortened, other garments altered ... fair price, timely, good job by "Rocky the Tailor" at 5105 Liberty Avenue at Winebiddle (I think)... this side of Shadyside Honda... 412-682-5265 I don't have a recommendation in Highland Park, but I would highly recommend the New Oakland Tailor in Oakland on Meyran Avenue. The gentleman there is extremely talented and does all kinds of work -- including an enormous amount of alterations to a friend's bridesmaid dress. The wrong size was ordered, and she needed it to be taken in literally three sizes -- and it was beautiful. There was no way of knowing it wasn't the original dress from the store!

[Highland Park] appliance repair people
by Janet Jai 05 Jun '07

05 Jun '07

Many, many thanks!!! to all of you who have sent recommendations of appliance repair people. While I make a few calls, I thought the full list might be of help to others too. jai 1. We use a company called Appliance Service Center 412-381-0400. Brandi, C A Properties 2. We have used Appliance Warehouse in South Side for all of our rental properties. They respond promptly and their prices have been reasonable to date. Their number is 381-8800. Hope that this is helpful. You are welcome to tell them that we have sent you to them. We have been their customers for about 2 years. Dana Smith Director of Operations Friendship Development Associates, Inc. 3. We use A-1 Service Co. for our washer and dryer. They do washers,dryers, ranges and dishwashers, Their phone # is 412-271-6108. We have had no reason to call them in 2-3 years. Good Luck. Jacqueline Brown 4. Don of Able Appliance 412/734-2253. He's repaired our appliance over the years and is very knowledgeable, responsive and reasonably priced. Good luck, Marcie 5. The most wonderful repair person in the world is Mr Bob Woods, his phone number is 412.243.5500 Lisa 6. I have had excellent luck with this guy below. My sister uses him, and he was recommended by a friend. I can't understand him, but he does great work. -jean The sticker on our dryer says "Appliance Service -- 412-531-0402, or 412-922-9790." Mary and I recall that the last person to repair our dryer was competent and prompt (plus, he came on a Saturday), although apparently not a native English speaker. Unfortunately, I can't match this name or phone numbers with any of the appliance repair shops in the current yellow pages. 7. I was very pleased with a man named Bob Woods. 412-243-5500. He fixed my dryer--hard worker, reasonable, and friendly. Doug Khorey 8. I've got the perfect guy for you. His name is Chuck Bieri and his number is 412-377-0372. He's an independent repairman and has repaired a number of washers and dryers for me. He's honest, and will respond quickly. Just a heads up that his speech is slow and jerky--a symptom of a past stroke. Don't mistake that for being slow in any other way, he's very sharp. David DeLong 9. Jim Wadding 412-421-2368

Some time ago someone posted a phone number for a women's shelter/agency (can't quite remember) that takes donations of household items for women in need. Does anyone remember what I'm referring to and do you have the phone number? Thanks! Rachel
