[Highland Park] on a more lighthearted note
Hi All, After I have been reading all these emails it reminds me of a story I heard about what some residents on the 15th street of Southside did about drunks who were peeing in the walkways leading to their yards. They hung out and waited for someone to come in their little alley to take a whiz. They would wait a few moments and then all of a sudden they would shine a bright spotlight and shout through a bullhorn(and scare the heck out of the person). While all this was happening, they had a camera taping everything. I think they sent the clips in to America's Funniest Home Videos. I'm not saying that this is the answer to all of our recent neighborhood woes; but I do think that some simple technology and cleverness can go a long way. Take Care, Vijay Bakrania N. Beatty St.
Hello all, In light of the recent uptick in criminal activity in the neighborhood, I thought you might be interested to know that the karate studio my son attends (Ryer Martial Arts Academy; http://www.pittsburghkarate.com/Womens-Self-Defense.html) holds Women's Self Defense classes the third Saturday of the month, 2-3 p.m. I've been at the last three and find them helpful. Wouldn't say I'm dangerous yet but at least less helpless! Cheers, Michelle Butler
