Kansas City , Mo. – We're in the habit of hearing mostly negative stories about the impact of the economy.Here's one with a more positive twist.

The proprietor of one hair salon on the Plaza has decided to offer FREE hair cuts and color, for as many unemployed women as she can for three days, through February 10th.

KCUR would like to hear from you. Are you changing the way you live because of the recession? Tell us how the economic climate has affected you, or your business. Join the discussion here.

Community

Laura Ziegler

I partner with communities to uncover the ignored or misrepresented stories by listening and letting communities help identify and shape a narrative. My work brings new voices, sounds, and an authentic sense of place to our coverage of the Kansas City region. My goal is to tell stories on the radio, online, on social media and through face to face conversations that enhance civic dialogue and provide solutions.
