[Highland Park] Looking for help with Highland Park web site
by Rudolph T Maceyko 09 Jan '05

09 Jan '05

Do you know PHP and MySQL? Do you know of a good, free, implementation of a community calendar we can use on the Highland Park web site that runs on FreeBSD? If so, I'd like to talk with you about putting in some volunteer time for the Highland Park web site :-) I've run the site for a while now and have maintained a calendar that required me to update the actual HTML file. The calendar did not look like a calendar and did not allow others to contribute events. I have not had the time to update the calendar for 2005 so it is blank... It would be great to find someone else in the neighborhood who can help out with the site in this very specific way. There are other things the site needs as well, but this is the first one I'd like to tackle for the new year! Thanks for your help, Rudy

[Highland Park] Sitar is now Taj Mahal
by Rudolph T Maceyko 09 Jan '05

09 Jan '05

The Sitar Indian Restaurant on Bryant Street changed hands late last year and became Taj Mahal. Dr. Reddy opened the restaurant in 2001. Here's an article (courtesy of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review) about the restaurant, including a photo of the new owner, Usha Sethi, and a recipe: <http://pittsburghlive.com/x/style/fooddrink/cookingclass/s_291259.html> The Taj Mahal restaurants have their own web site: <http://www.tajmahalinc.com/contact.html> (As of today, their web site has no information about the Highland Park location.) I've updated the business directory on the Highland Park site to include the new name and a link to their site: <http://www.highlandpark.pgh.pa.us/business/> Rudy
