[Highland Park] Recommendations for difficult window replacement
by Joan Soulliere 09 Jan '12

09 Jan '12

Dear Neighbors, We are going to replace approximately 24 windows in our house this spring. One of them is an "eyebrow" window on the third floor. The casement is rotting, made in the shape of a curve, and divided into three parts. I am seeking recommendations for companies/individuals proficient in replacing these sort of odd windows, along with the other 24 regular windows. Please also feel free to email me with cautionary tales. Thank you, Joan S. Farragut Street

by Susan Robison 09 Jan '12

09 Jan '12

Tai Chi Monday at St. Andrew’s Tai Chi, practiced by men and women of all ages, is an ancient Chinese system of exercise with slow and gentle motion that raises and balances the energy of the body leading to improved health and vitality. In addition Tai Chi can be a Martial Art or system of self-defense and a meditation in motion. For several years we have had a Tai Chi class at St Andrew’s on Monday nights. Our instructor, Highland Park resident Judy Crow, trained in the Yang Style Long Form with Y.K. Chou and has been teaching Tai Chi for over twenty-seven years in the Pittsburgh area. If you are interested in Tai Chi this would be a great time to start. This ten-week course begins on Monday, September 12th and runs from 6:30 – 8 PM. From 6:30 to 7 PM Judy will review the Introduction and Basics. Then, from 7 to 8 PM she will go through the Chi Exercises and the Yang Style Long Form for all levels. The fee for each 10-week course is $55.00 per person. These 1 ½ hour sessions are held in Brooks Hall at St. Andrews. To register for classes or for more information, please call Judy at 412-363-2748.
