The Highland Park neighborhood is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the "Highland Park Residential Historic District"!
National Register designation is a big honor for our neighborhood. It also increases the financial incentives for some private property owners to maintain the historic character of the Highland park neighborhood.
The Highland Park web site has been updated from CivicSpace (the old download version, not the service) to Drupal proper.
Since this was a major Drupal upgrade (4.x -> 5.x) there are minor issues that still need to be addressed (such as that the old theme no longer works--it needs to updated to work with the new code). Another problem is that the old image gallery seems to have disappeared (but the individual images are there) and the month-overview calendars seem to be blank.
Due to problems with the delegation of the pgh.pa.us DNS domain yesterday (2007-07-27), the address of the Highland Park Neighborhood list has moved from highlandpark.pgh.pa.us to highlandparkpa.com. The list was out of commission all day yesterday and today. The problem with pgh.pa.us was fixed yesterday but may return again. Until/unless it does, the old address will continue to work.
The Highland Park Neighborhood email list is unavailable today (2007-07-27) due to a problem with the delegation of the pgh.pa.us domain. There is no estimate for how long it will take for that problem to be fixed. So the Neighborhood list will move to highlandparkpa.com (like the web site). The list should be back in operation (using the highlandparkpa.com domain instead of pgh.pa.us) by sometime tomorrow (2007-07-28). The DNS problem also affects (to various degrees because of the use ofalternate domain names) Phipps Conservatory and the Zoo.
