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.

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.
