[Highland Park] Book Wanted
by alfredmann_6＠msn.com 13 May '06

13 May '06

I am doing some historical research on early petroleum pioneers in Pittsburgh, including Charles Lockhart and William Larimer Mellon of the East End. About 30 years ago, John Collins, Jr of Highland Park published a book entitled Stringtown on the Pike, which is out of print. It contains information that would be of value to me. If anyone has a copy they would be willing to sell, please let me know. Thanks. Al Mann 412-661-5947 alfredmann_6(a)msn.com

The following is an Expression by the Artist. Every artist has access to a conglomeration of energy. Call it divine help, the Muse, Spirit, Ancestor. Call them God. The important thing is to call them, and listen when they speak. Over the years, I?ve learned that an artist?s body of work is already completed. The pieces wait in the wings for artists to listen, to catch up, to realize potential. My quilts manifest as bursts of color, passion and sometimes, social commentary, set on backdrops of irregular squares, ovals and rectangles. The pages in my artist books never match; they lean forward or aft and speak about snatches of life. The imperfection in design is the discovery of the quilt or artist book, and sometimes I forget what I?ve learned; revert to thinking the progression of a piece is solely my invention. Struggle sets in. I rummage around, search for the means to a so-called perfect quilt, or book pages with sharp, defined edges. I manipulate and strategize. Waste time. Then, it occurs to me. I should be sitting quietly. I should be listening. I think an artist listening makes God smile. Cathleen Richardson Bailey May 2006

Re: [Highland Park] Recommend Auto Mechanics?

I've been using Baum Blvd Automotive for 20 years (though it's been called by different names and re-located over the years). Chuck, the owner, is a great guy. All of their mechanics are good, honest, and reasonable. The phone number: 412-682-1866. They do have a waiting room with magazines and coffee. Claudette In a message dated 5/12/2006 8:04:01 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, mizmoose(a)gmail.com writes: Anyone have a recommendation for an auto mechanic and/or garage somewhere reasonably close? I need to have a bit of engine work done. Bonus points if they have a place to sit and wait and/or are next to such a place. I'm partly disabled and don't get around very well, so the "drop off car and walk to bus stop where you stand and wait for bus" scenario doesn't work very well for me :).

Anyone have a recommendation for an auto mechanic and/or garage somewhere reasonably close? I need to have a bit of engine work done. Bonus points if they have a place to sit and wait and/or are next to such a place. I'm partly disabled and don't get around very well, so the "drop off car and walk to bus stop where you stand and wait for bus" scenario doesn't work very well for me :). Thanks!

[Highland Park] Highland Park History
by Rudolph T. Maceyko 11 May '06

11 May '06

The history timeline that was on the old web page is back: <http://www.highlandparkpa.com/history> Instead of one big page it's now broken up by century and year. I only copied the original content over--I didn't add or change anything. There's a lot to be added (and some things to be corrected). If helping out with this project interested you--let me know! In order to help update the history info on the web site you'll first need to create a login account. Visit the following link (also available from the main page on the site) to create an account if you don't already have one: <http://www.highlandparkpa.com/user/register> After this announcement I'll only send mail about this project to the history list. If you're interested in subscribing to that mailing list, visit: <http://www.highlandpark.pgh.pa.us/mailman/listinfo/history> If there's enough interest maybe we'll have a Highland Park History Group meeting this year--I have an idea for a topic, but I'll need help doing it, so let me know if you are interested. Rudy
