The South Shore Railroad station on Ridge Road is under construction; once the rail line is operating and traubs stopping at this location it would provide an option of accessing TATC fairly easily, but it would be a fairly long walk to the theatre, less than a mile. I do not know whether the City of Munster or TATC plan to provide a shuttle bus for the businesses along Ridge Road.

We came to experience a tribute to John Denver. As you enter the theater you will find a theater almost in the round. Every seat is a good seat. The sound was fantastic. The matinee was packed. I looked at the schedule and they offer quite a selection depending on your taste. You can eat lunch there if you make reservations. You will also find an art gallery, gift shop and another setting we did not see. The center is on the former site of Lanier School and the old library. What a great location near the highway and Illinois. The week before they hosted Munster's Got Talent. Take a day to explore the location. Visit Three Floyd's and stay overnight. I understand that very soon you will be able to take South Shore and leave the car behind.

My son has done a few classes with Patti's; Gymnastics, swimming and dance…read more The swimming is hit or miss. We originally did Saturday mornings and he managed to regress. One of the instructors that was subbing heard my complaints of his regression and worked more with him. She suggested doing the everyday for a week class with her. We did and he improved immensely. So much so that I did another week the following month while still keeping the Saturday. After that the Saturday class seemed a waste of time as my son was with kids still afraid to get in the water and he was floating, going down the slide by himself etc. A plus for Patti's swimming is as a parent you can sit by the pool and hear what's happening. There are only 2 classes max at the same time. As far as the gymnastics and dance go my son loves them both. He looks forward to his classes and will ask when can we go again, which is never the case for other programs. He's super excited for his upcoming dance recital and loves showing us his "moves" at home.

Anytime a parent or kid would talk to her she had a shitty look on her face and rolled her eyes and had an attitude! She should not work with kids!!! Told one kid to sit down and shut up!!!!

So when a friend suggested I try this unique style of exercise, I questioned how it could be better than what I already did. It only took one or two classes to show me how different and effective this Barre method was. Fast forward to the present. I am stronger than ever before, my running has improved immeasurably, and when I take a Barre class, I leave the studio feeling happy, fulfilled, and ready to tackle the day. For those who are unsure, I would strongly suggest taking 2 or 3 classes. You will not regret it.
