Zero coordination, but still love dancing

Submitted by admin on Wed, 10/29/2014 - 8:45am

Alyssa Schauer

So I joined a fitness dance class last week and I learned something about myself. I have zero coordination and no rhythm.
I have been getting tired of my mundane routine of lifting dumbbells and running the tireless black belt on the treadmill at Snap Fitness.
And I’m sick of Jillian Michaels’ tyrannical “30-day Shred” home workout DVD and I can’t even finish the once-fun “total body cardio” and yoga routines on Autumn Calabrese’s 21-day fix program.

Glencoe needs better graffiti artists

Submitted by admin on Wed, 10/29/2014 - 8:44am

Rich Glennie

I think we need some better graffiti artists in Glencoe. What I have seen painted on the city streets, sidewalks and grassy areas is not overly impressive. Colorful, but not very artistic.
Anyone can make the orange letter “H” and spray paint it up and down city streets and boulevards from fire plug to fire plug, or spray paint streets with the blue, red, yellow or white measurements in feet and inches from manhole to manhole. And the little colored flags stuck all around the letters: well, that’s just cute, but not that cute.
