• Go to the zoo -- it only costs 100 cents.

  Feel like going to the zoo? Starting today, Mondays are a cheap time to mingle with the animals at the Kansas City Zoo. In honor of the Zoo's 100th anniversary, admission is only $1 every Monday through August 31. For the same low price, you can a snack inside. The 100-cent treat changes every week. Today, 12-ounce smoothies are $1. Later this month, get nachos and cheese (June 8), a small popcorn (June 15), a 21-ounce fountain drink (June 22) or an "ice cream novelty" (June 29). Yum!

• More than 2,000 kids show up for Bright Future Employment Fair

  The kids get a really bad rap in the KCMO School District. You hardly hear a peep about them unless the TV news is covering their bad test scores or the times when a fight draws police to their campuses. So I was glad to see KMBC Channel 9's cameras, among others, filming as young people ages 15-22 came streaming through the doors of the convention center as early as six this morning to check out the fifth annual Bright Future Employment Fair. Six of the metro's school districts are on spr
