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.
