[Highland Park] Monthly Game Nights in Highland Park
by leslie setlock 05 Jan '06

05 Jan '06

This sounds great! Any interest in, either in addition or maybe as another event, doing some kind of earlier potluck, taking turns hosting? We have little little ones, usually in bed by 7 or 8, but I love the idea of seeing more neighbors!

[Highland Park] Response to Sen Ferlo re Sandy;s
by Jason Huggins 05 Jan '06

05 Jan '06

I agree with Jessica. Is something illegal happening in that location? We should not be starting a witch hunt if we do not know that illegal activities are not taking place. Pittsburgh needs to be more business friendly, not going after those brave enough to start their own businesses. I think was should really be taking place is a discussion about how to lure new business to our cute business district. The good ones will drive out the less desirable businesses. I vote to abolish the PA Liquor Control board and return to a private system, like the most of the country! http://www.ipetitions.com/campaigns/EndPALiquorControl/ Jason Highland Park

[Highland Park] Thanks for response to Sen. Ferlo!

Hello Highland Park Neighbors! Thanks to all of you who have sent letters to Senator Ferlo regarding the denial of transfer of liquor license for Sandy's Deli. Keep 'em coming, it's not too late. A sign on Sandy's says he will reopen after "remolding" so let's keep the pressure on. Senator Ferlo is in support of us...actually he's glad we are now in support of his point of view!! So, let's make this happen and make our neighborhood even better! Thanks! Shelly

[Highland Park] day camp?
by Leslie Setlock 05 Jan '06

05 Jan '06

What are some neighborhood day camp options for a 4 yr old (turning 5 in early June?) I would need either full day, or recommendations on afternoon extended care. My son's aged out of the day care system, so this is our first summer trying to figure out school-aged summer care. Anyone have favorite neighborhood resources on this? Thanks!

[Highland Park] Health club hopping
by ozzieink＠comcast.net 05 Jan '06

05 Jan '06

OK, time for at least one New Year's resolution: get in shape. (Hmm, seems a familiar resolution.) Anyway, this year I AM joining a health club. Checked out Club One in Shadyside awhile back but found it big and busy -- lots of people. I'm looking for a smaller health club, one with all the regular equipment and weights that offers classes, like aerobics etc. Anyone belong to or know of any clubs near our neighborhood? I've heard of one in Aspinwall (I think), but haven't checked that area yet.

[Highland Park] Starting the New Year off right!
by Shelly Danko+Day 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

Dear Highland Park: You've all heard our pleas for help from here in the "SouthWest Quadrant" aka the 800 and 900 blocks of Mellon, Portland and Negley. One of our main offenders is (was) Sandy's Deli. A couple years ago, a new owner took over and promised us they would remove the 40 ouncers and blunt wrappers (which they sell, but no tobacco) and that they would add fresh fruit and veggies, fresh baked bread, and imported beers. Needless to say, the 40 ouncers and blunt wrappers are their bread and butter and none of those changes happened. But we were given a great gift this season. It would seem that there is some problem with the "new" owners and the store has been closed, on an off, for 3 weeks now!!! We hear that the business will soon be going back to the original Sandy (he is a real person...) ownership. WE NEED YOUR HELP TO FINALLY SHUT THIS STORE DOWN! You can help from your very own computer. Just email/call/write our friendly neighbor and State Senator Jim Ferlo and encourage him to intercept the transfer of the liquor license. His info is below. Time is an important factor, so today would be great! We appreciate you help at this critical time! Jim Ferlo 3507 Butler Street Pittsburgh, PA 15201 412.621.3006 ferlo(a)pasenate.com Sincerely, Shelly
