Hi:

I am a Highland Park resident and a history professor at Robert Morris University.  I am currently working (on behalf of RMU)  with a community in Moon Township on getting that neighborhood listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  After recalling our own neighborhood's recent success in gaining this listing (congrats!) I thought  it would be terrific to meet with whomever from the community who worked on this is willing to share any advice or wisdom in completing the application.  My own area of specialty is urban history, but I've never worked on a preservation project before, so as a novice in this field, I'd be very obliged to hear advice or war stories or anything else about the process.

I emailed the Highland Park CDC directly, at an address I found on the web, but it bounced back to me.  I'm assuming some CDC folks participate in this forum.  Anyone who was involved with this, feel free to respond at your convenience.

Thanks!

John McCarthy
