I believe that if each and every one of us calls each and every time we're approached, the police will start to view this problem differently.

We used a man named John McLane, and are happy with the results. He was fast, inexpensive, and followed up on his work later (had to make a small adjustment after he inspected). He's a general handyman, not specializing in gutters. His number is 412-881-3297. - Eric On 8/6/05, Dan J Martin <djmartin(a)cmu.edu> wrote: > > We're looking for recommendations of a good company to replace the gutters > around our home.

Sorry Shari - yes, he's African American in his 30s, medium skin color, average height (5'9" or so) and slim build. He has a mustache. Several posters have described him wearing a NY Yankees baseball hat (dark blue with a white NY on the front); when I was approached by him he wore that type of hat with an orange T-shirt with the ECKO brand all over it. He was very polite, but he's clearly running a scam - although he may well be married with 2 kids, as he said.

Dear Neighbors, Last night sometime, our indoor cat got out. Would you please keep an eye out for her? Zuli is very petite (6 lbs.), calico, and has no collar. She is friendly but a little skittish, and has no front claws. We live on Wellesley Road (# 951), and suspect she may be roaming around there, or over to Jackson or Heberton. Thank you. Lisa and David (412) 361-5704

[Highland Park] Big group of people?
by john ciroli 07 Aug '05

07 Aug '05

Did anyone else see/hear the large group of people moving through the neighborhood at about 1 am? I woke up to this very large and loud group walking down my street at about 1:15am. Just then 2 police cars came up with lights on and chased them away. Not sure what that was all about.

[Highland Park] HDTV antenna help wanted
by Jason Weill 07 Aug '05

07 Aug '05

Good morning all, I live in a cottage house on Negley & Wellesley and have Dish Network satellite TV service. To get local channels in HD I need an off-air antenna. I tried one of those that clip onto the dish itself but I can't get good reception on most channels -- and I get no reception on ABC, where the Steelers have three Monday night games this year. According to Antennaweb (http://www.antennaweb.org) I need a Medium Directional Antenna. Most web searches I've done point to the Terk TV36 antenna which I'd most likely need to mount on the roof. So two questions: 1. Does anyone have any recommendations about which antennas work well in such a foliage-rich neighborhood, especially on a smaller house? 2. Would anyone be able to spare an afternoon to help install an antenna on my roof? I can compensate you for your time of course. Thanks much, -- Jason Weill jason(a)weill.org

We're looking for recommendations of a good company to replace the gutters around our home. I couldn't find any suggestions in this category in the trades directory. Anyone have a good experience they'd like to share? --dan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dan J. Martin, Associate Dean H.
