[Highland Park] Possible Missing Cat
by kevin＠wahila.com 11 Apr '07

We think our cat may have slipped out of the house, probably something she now regrets! Anyway, she is a brown tabby, very timid, her name is Chloe. We live on the end of Jackson so I would expect she'd be somewhere nearby. If you have seen her please let us know! Thanks, Kevin 412.296.0533

[Highland Park] upholstry recommendations
by Kathleen Newman 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

Dear Neighbors: Thanks as always for your generous outpouring of information. Here are the many suggestions that came to my email inbox: ------------------------------------ I used Zane's in the Strip District for two window seats. That's a pretty straightforward job, but they did a good job. I've used Park Upholstery on Butler Street to recover a sofa. They are very good, but not necessarily inexpensive and maybe not what you are looking for. Probably worth a call. We've have had good work done over the past 30+ years at Chianelli Upholstering 5440 Centre Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15232 (412) 681-9000 They have repaired broken dinning room chairs, reupholstered two sofas and one chair, and recained a chair seat. We acquired two old cushioned chairs that were upholstered by them in the late 30's or early 40's. For upholstery work, I like T's Upholstery Studio in Lawrenceville on Butler Street. Cindy Kaufmann is very knowledgeable about fabrics and her prices are reasonable. She will come to your home and help with matching colors and styles. Consider T's Upholstery. Try Lee Carrington Dream City 412 665 9663 or Andy McGowan at 412 362 1379 I make custom window seat cushions and all types of slipcovers and custom draperies. AFFORDABLE DECORATING & CUSTOM WORK ROOM SERVICES Mary Ann Miklos 412-731-1916 there is a place towards downtown from Wholeys on Penn in the strip, called Gene Sanes. They have discount fabric and seem to do a good job. I have the best of the best upholsterer named Lee Carrington. He has done 8 diningroom chairs, a sofa, chair and a 3 piece parlor set - he is the best ever and I have used others. Lee's number is 412-665-9663. He will pick up and deliver. He is a perfectionist and does restoration work - he does not cut corners like some do. If you would like to see his work, let me knoow. Marty Harkins 412-661-2410 Call fran scalese 412-334-7914. she's excellent! She is in highland park and might be able to squeeze you in. A Point Breeze friend of mine swears by Joe Brusco in Swissvale -- she has some incredibly elegant furniture which he has done great work on. He is located down south Braddock Ave, right into Swissvale... I think on Monongahela Ave. Lozo Cvitkusic is great. He picks u[ and delivers and is not expensive. His # is 412-884-7404. It all depends on what you are getting done. I have had friends use Gene Sanes down in the Strip and be very very happy. I used Betty's Upholstery down on butler street and her prices are very good and her work is good, but I might think about that antique chair and get the wicker couch stuff done first by her and see if it meets your standards. She does work for some very ritzy homes in fox chapel, but also seems to do work for motorcycles, etc! Nice lady and she was trained by Chianelli who used to be on Centre ave. Betty will also be glad to show you what she does in her showroom down on butler street (near the 62nd st bridge). I don't have her number here, but it is on the sign in front of her building. Her hours are shorter (like 9-4 or something like that but has Sat hours.) good luck! PAM Dear Kathleen, I just made cushion covers for kitchen chairs with a matching table cloth for one of your neighbors. I think she'd be happy to speak with you about the quality of my work. If you'd like to get an estimate from me, that would be a good way to start the process. Would love to look at what you need done and see if we can work together.

If you live in District 2 you can vote for Heather (Highland Park, Morningside, Stanton Heights, Lawrenceville, Polish Hill, Troy Hill), but even if you don't you can support her candidacy this Friday. You can also learn more about her at her website: (www.voteheather.com) So this Friday come bid on a beautiful lino-print by renowned local artist Laura McLaughlin (http://www.laurajeanmclaughlin.com/) a powerful political cartoon by United Electrical cartoonist Gary Huck (http://www.solidarity.com/hkcartoons/huckpage.html) an ethereal painting by the bio-artist Joana Ricou (http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~jiricou/FemArt/pandora.htm) a painting by local artist Linda Wallen (http://lindawallenstudios.com/paintings/Paintings.html) photographs of the Southside J&L steel mills by Paula Flaherty, whimsical-politico lino-prints by Kathy Newman, posters from the Pittsburgh Sign Project (http://pittsburghsigns.org/) a poignant water color from the pen/brush of teacher/mother/artist, Elizabeth Perry (http://www.elizabethperry.com/woolgathering/) a beautiful glass bowl by Daneal Ferraro (http://www.joopjewelry.com/) a haunting photograph taken by novelist Hilary Masters, and a collection of riveting fiction by CMU authors Jane McCafferty (Thanks for the Music) and Sharon Dilworth (Women Drinking Benedictine).
