[Highland Park] Help requested on Mellon St
by Shelly Danko+Day 22 May '04

22 May '04

Dear Highland Park Neighbors: I am writing to request your assistance. My husband, Brett, and I have lived at 922 Mellon Street for over 5 years now, and we have stood our ground to the drug dealers and thugs, pretty much by ourselves. Other neighbors that live directly in this area have been intimidated and overwhelmed, and have subsequently given up. We can't do it alone any more. It's been proven that the more people around to disrupt their business, the less business they do, and less they want to do in the future. So, to that end, we would like to invite you to come hang out on our front porch with us this summer! When you're walking your dog, stop by! When you're riding your bike, ride down Mellon Street! Or just come over and check out all the flowers in our garden! The HPCDC is working on renovating parts of Mellon Street, and we will soon (by fall?) have single families in some of the currently abandoned properties, but we need to show them that we are united and make it a welcoming place for those new families. Please help us keep our sanity this summer! We would really appreciate the company! Sincerely, Shelly Danko+Day Mellon Street Neighbor(s)

[Highland Park] Need tenor as well
by Sherry Goldman 20 May '04

20 May '04

Does anyone know any tenors? My Volunteer Singing group just lost our tenor. We are a friendship-based social group who rehearses and performs for the teamwork, camaraderie and joy of music, not for money. We are a small semi-professional choral group, who sings in nursing homes, shelters, etc. I can offer free training in sight-singing for anyone interested. For more information, Call: Kathy at 412-683-4815, email: Friends.inHarmony(a)verizon.net or visit: www.angelfire.com/music4/friendharmony/

[Highland Park] Highland Park Bridge garden planting
by Rudolph T Maceyko 20 May '04

20 May '04

Last Saturday there was supposed to be a garden planting day at the Highland Park bridge, and this was mentioned in my weekly mailing and on the Community Calendar, but as "TBA". That's because the person I had exchanged email about that event with earlier in the year never returned my recent requests for confimation. Anyway, I have not been by the bridge area since before Saturday, so I have not see what was done... According to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy's web site, the garden planting day really was scheduled for this past Saturday, so I hope someone helped out: <http://www.wpconline.org/gardens/planting-04.asp> Rudy

[Highland Park] Weekly Walks in the Woods
by Rudolph T Maceyko 19 May '04

19 May '04

This evening I participated in the Weekly Walk in the Woods sponsored by Venture Outdoors (formerly Western Pennsylvania Field Institute) and the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy. We walked for about 2 hours total (including a walk around the reservoir at the end), identifying plants, park features, and history as we went. After the walk, some of those who participated ended up at Enrico's Tazza d'Oro. Every third Wednesday during the summer the walk starts in Highland Park at the North Highland Avenue entrance at 6:30 pm. The walk is free, worthwhile, and not too difficult--there are some steep steps and some mud, but most of it is pretty easy. There are walks in the other City parks as well--one each week. In months which have 5 weeks, a walk is scheduled at Washington's Landing on that last Wednesday of the month. See the Venture Outdoors web site for the schedule: <http://www.ventureoutdoors.org/> Rudy

[Highland Park] Recommendations for tradespersons
by Mary Louise Ray 17 May '04

17 May '04

I received many requests for the summary of roofer recommendations, which I am very happy to share. But I have also received many requests for other tradespersons, such as painters and electricians. So, neighbors, I ask you to please be generous again and share your recommendations. I have created a Web-based survey to make it simple for you to respond. You can fill in as much or as little of the information as you choose. Please note that ALL RESPONSES ARE PRIVATE. You will not be asked for your email address, name or any other identifying information. Remember that YOU can be the person to save your neighbor from a home improvement nightmare! Click on the following link to fill out the survey. http://FreeOnlineSurveys.com/rendersurvey.asp?id=61275 Thanks! ________________________ Mary Louise Ray Group Wellesley, Inc. 412.363.3481 Tel 412.363.3482 Fax www.GroupWellesley.com
