repair on old cast iron stack
by Irina Livezeanu 29 Apr '22

29 Apr '22

Has anyone run into rusted spots or holes in cast iron stack pipes when doing renovations in old HP houses? This contractor just did when drilling out the old bathroom floor. It involves major expensive repair. Does insurance ever cover this? Would you recommend any plumber to do the work? thanks, Irina

Highland Park: missing package
by Becky Marinov 29 Apr '22

29 Apr '22

Hi neighbors. I got a notification yesterday that a package was delivered to my house only to go outside and not be able to find it. I was home at the time and went immediately so I doubt it was taken off of the porch. Just wondering if maybe someone had a package for Rebecca Marinov that was mistakenly delivered at 1:27 pm on Thursday. We would be happy to come and get it. Thanks Sent from my iPhone

HPCC April newsletter

29 Apr '22

View this email in your browser (https://mailchi.mp/6e22080c3828/hpcc-april-newsletter?e=eb0bdabb3c) Logo ** Hello Neighbors! ------------------------------------------------------------ As the weather has finally turned warmer, it’s great to see so many people out and about in the community. One definition of “community” is: a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests and goals. We hope you’ll work with us toward our goal of making the Highland Park community safe and inviting for all. When you're on the road as a driver, cyclist, or pedestrian, be alert and respectful of others. As a driver, there’s no need to speed or cut people off; be the person who lets other cars in, slows so pedestrians can cross, and gives bikes and scooters lots of space. As a pedestrian, pay attention to your surroundings, and don’t step into traffic if you’re going to force someone to slam on their breaks. On a bike or scooter? Stay on the road and off the sidewalk, and follow traffic laws. A little consideration on our roads will make everyone happier and safer. And when you’re at the park, parklet or just walking in the ‘hood, leave the space as nice - or nicer! Be sure to take your trash and cigarette butts and dispose of them properly. Let’s make every day a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

The re-opening initially was planned for early June. However, due to global shipping issues, the playground equipment will now be arriving in late May. Once it arrives, the rest of the construction will take about two months, with a likely reopening in early August. We know everyone is impatient for the new playground so we'll keep you updated with any further changes. ** Lifeguards Wanted! ------------------------------------------------------------ The city’s ability to open city pools - including the Highland Park pool - will be directly related to its success recruiting lifeguards. The city has increased lifeguard wages this year as part of this effort, with wages ranging between $16 - $18.50/hour. For additional info, call 412-323-7928 or follow the link below.
