I'm teaching a dance class downtown, every other Sunday, that focuses on everything from bellydance and tribal dances to burlesque and cabaret. Class topics are driven by the interests of the students and what focuses inspire them. I have 19 years dance experience, 7 of which I've spent teaching. I have performed various styles of dance over that ( Read more... )

Does anyone know whatever happened to Legal Grounds coffee shop on the corner of Grant Street and Court Place, downtown.  They put up a sign ages ago saying they would re-open after remodeling, except it doesn't look like there's any construction or anything going on there.  I assume they're closed for good, but I was wondering if anyone knew the ( Read more... )

So I'm located in South Oakland. Can you tell me where I can get plastic window insulation and where I can get a copy of a key at? Hopefully relatively cheap, but if they're a small business I'll pay a little more. Also hopefully in Oakland, Squirrel Hill, or Downtown. Maybe Shadyside.

Thanks! (:
