Monday, March 01, 2004 Signs of Spring Yesterday I saw my first blossoms of the year in the Chandler's yard. It's all up hill till the Flower and Folk Fest. posted by smallstreams | 11:54 PM Friday, January 23, 2004 Friendship Homeowners: Have a great house you are dying to show off? Want to be the envy of people throughout the region for the cool things you have done with your home? Want to become more involved in your community and help raise money for community development efforts in your neighborhood? You deserve to be recognized for the hard work and loving care you have put into your home to make it your own. Friendship Development Associates, Inc. (FDA) is looking for a new batch of houses to participate in the 2004 Friendship House Tour, which will be held September 19.

I know we need to make a link to the Friendship Journal, and I need to make the links work on the House Tour/photo gallery site. Also, currently, the FDA website is the e-mail newsletter. Other than that let me know what is needed/not needed.E-mail me or post your comments here. posted by smallstreams | 11:27 AM Friday, September 26, 2003 House Tour 2003 If you want to see the houses that are on this year's tour on Sunday, check this out.

Don't forget to do your shopping at Whole Foods Wednesday July 23rd - 5% of profits go to help the Penn Avenue Arts Initiative!!!!!posted by smallstreams | 10:26 AM Monday, July 14, 2003 Waldorf Closes on That Big Building on Winebiddle From Sharron of the Waldorf School: Dear Most Highly Esteemed Neighbors and Councilman Peduto, I sent this out to our parent community today along with a request for some help which I didn't include in this e-mail to you, and thought you would like to know that - "We closed on Victoria Hall yesterday afternoon! The place is ours! Our vision for school building located in Pittsburgh within 3 miles from the point, surrounded by grass and trees is really going to happen! I remember that I didn't see how this could happen in our visioning meeting facilitated by Laura Freedman three years ago at the seminary in the South Hills, and now it has happened! With the prospect of the move our enrollment has increased beyond our expectations." Thank you for all of your support and energy and great ideas! Some of our parents have already started weeding the property a few weeks ago, and we plan to start work right away. Hopefully by around August 1st the first improvement you will notice is that the large Victorian House will be painted. So much is happening so quickly. Thanks again! We are so excited to be a part of this community! posted by smallstreams | 12:39 PM Wednesday, July 09, 2003 Baum Centre Corridor Vision Project The next public meeting for the Baum/Centre Planning Initiative is scheduled for Saturday, July 12, 2003 @ 9:00 a.m. in Conference Room C in Shadyside Hospital. This meeting will be a design workshop for the corridor. posted by smallstreams | 12:29 PM Monday, June 23, 2003 Call for Photos The FPG Communications Committee is looking for photos of Friendship. Digital photos are best. Some houses, Baum Grove, activities like the most excellent party held on Coral Street this past Saturday, and anything you think should be on the web site. Send them by e-mail to me (mail@markstroup.com) or Robert Cantillo (R_Cantillo@yahoo.com). posted by smallstreams | 11:05 AM |
