Kingsley Association News!!!! The good...as well as challenging
by Ted Melnyk 18 Jun '25

18 Jun '25

Hello neighbors, I'd like to highlight several things about the Kingsley Association, the longtime (130 years!) community center serving Pittsburgh's East End. GOOD NEWS First, the good news. Kingsley just finished an outstanding $1.5 M pool renovation and reopened last month. If you like to swim (or play pickleball, or basketball, or do yoga and Pilates) we are welcoming new members through single, senior or family memberships<https://www.kingsleyassociation.org/membership>. You can find out all about Kingsley at our updated website<https://www.kingsleyassociation.org/>. CHALLENGING NEWS While we're excited about the pool opening, unforesoon cost overruns and recent funding cuts have put the Kingsley in a challenging situation. We are working hard and confident that we'll get through this, but nonetheless, it's serious. Here is an excellent article by the New Pittsburgh Courier<https://newpittsburghcourier.com/2025/06/04/courier-exclusive-kingsley-asso…> that clearly details the situation. WAYS FOR YOU TO HELP Kingsley is hosting its 2<https://www.kingsleyassociation.org/sneaker-ball>nd<https://www.kingsleyassociation.org/sneaker-ball> annual Sneaker Ball<https://www.kingsleyassociation.org/sneaker-ball> (aka party for people of all ages) to raise funds and have fun in support of Kingsley. We're also not opposed to straight up donations<https://operations.daxko.com/online/5337/OnlineGiving/Donation.mvc?campaign…> for the cause! Finally, we've got outstanding rental space available and/or are in search of any potential partnerships with corporations or other organizations that will help us sustain the Kingsley for everyone in the years to come! Please email me back or info(a)kingsleyassociation.org<mailto:info@kingsleyassociation.org> with any ideas. Thanks, Ted

ISO landscaping company
by Becky Slemmons 18 Jun '25

18 Jun '25

Hello neighbors, I am looking for recommendations for a landscaping company (or other appropriate very responsible yard care company) for a simple, low-aesthetics job. We are looking to very slightly increase the slope of our yard on one side of our house in order to decrease basement wall rainwater absorption on that one side. So, this project does NOT involve choosing, planting or even trimming vegetation. It DOES involve pulling a bunch of weeds in that area, and dumping a bunch of soil next to our foundation, to build up our yard on that one side. Recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Becky

Anyone interested in carpooling downtown?
by epcusumano＠gmail.com 18 Jun '25

Hey, neighbors! I live in Morningside and work downtown. I’m wondering if there’s anyone in Highland Park or Morningside who commutes by car downtown and would be interested in carpooling and sharing the cost of gas and parking. Of course, there would be details to work out, our schedules would have to align, etc. Please message me back if you want to chat about this! Thanks, Emma

Great new spot nearby

Hi Neighbors, Wanted to give a shout out about Hound Haus, my husband and I took our dog there the other day. Supper nice dog park/ cafe you can hang out have coffee or a beer or something while your dog gets to run around with other dogs- they even have a little sprinkler pool to keep them cool. It was very clean, WiFi available if you wanted to go work there for a few hours. There is a daily rate or membership option It’s right next to Fireside- nice addition to the area- check it out!

We upgraded to a larger screen. This TV screen measures 40 in by 23 in, 46 in on diagonal. Works well.
