Hi, Does anyone know where to find information about the fitness coarse in the park? I saw the push-up bars near the Highland Ave entrance.

[Highland Park] Thank you!
by amers＠att.net 03 Oct '05

We just want to extend one more thank you to all of the volunteers, neighbors and especially the homeowners who helped to make the 2005 Highland Park House Tour the success that it was! We had a fabulous group of homes and sites this year, which showed everyone who came to the tour what a wonderful neighborhood we live in. And the gorgeous weather was certainly a great bonus, too. We are working on a final tally, but preliminary numbers make this year look like one of our best turnouts. Thanks to all of you who put up posters and passed the word along to friends and family, and a big thank you to Enrico's Tazza D'oro for selling all 100 of the pre-sale tickets we gave them! If you didn't see it, there was a great article about the King Estate in Saturday's Post-Gazette: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05274/580664.stm We are certainly lucky to have the Browns in our neighborhood, restoring a piece of Pittsburgh history and sharing it with all of us! The house tour committee will be having a wrap-up meeting in a couple of weeks before making our final report at the next HPCC meeting. If anyone has any comments to contribute or suggestions that might help with the planning of future house tours, please send them to housetour(a)highlandparkpa.com. Sincerely, Amy Maceyko, Brigette Nadler, Peter Hughes 2005 Highland Park House Tour Committee Chairs

[Highland Park] Suspicious behavior
by Karen James 01 Oct '05

01 Oct '05

Today around 5:30 we noticed a grey blue sedan with several young men (18-20 yrs)in it. One was out of the car near the bushes looking at a house at the end of Bunkerhill and when he saw us looking at him he asked for direction to Browning Street and then quickly left. Could be nothing, but in light of the recent break-ins we thought we should share this information. We called the police and they did a drive by. We didn't get the liscence plate number. Thanks. Karen James. ______________________________________________________ Yahoo! for Good Donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort. http://store.yahoo.com/redcross-donate3/

[Highland Park] One Last Reminder (if it isn't too late)
by amers＠att.net 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

Tomorrow (Saturday!) is the Highland Park House Tour. This is our chance for our neighborhood to shine! Please help out any visitors that may look lost. Please park your vehicles in any off-street spaces that you have in order to maximize the on-street parking for our guests. And please pick up any litter that you notice around the neighborhood so we can make the best possible impression. Tickets will be on sale tomorrow at St. Andrews Episcopal Church beginning at 11am and the houses will be open until 7pm for the self-guided tour. Enjoy! Amy Maceyko
