We visited Price Chopper in Platte City to investigate the newly turbo-charged Chopper Shopper Rewards cards.
Too busy to grocery shop and cook? There's a Planet Sub inside the store -- not to mention tasty Zepi's Pizza.
Price Chopper is known for some of the best fruits and vegetables around -- and a fantastic meat section.

Started off the weekend at Westlake Ace Hardware in Independence, Missouri. "Big" know-how indeed!
Found a flea market next door, and bought these out-of-print 80's records dirt cheap. Ammo for the Vinyl Vault!
Nothing like a little record shopping to work up an appetite ... thankfully Fiorella's Jack Stack has BBQ to go!
Visited some friends who have a pool on the roof of their loft. Great view of KC from nine stories up!

Thanks to my seldom-worn Operation shirt, I thought I had the sharpest look around going into the three-day Memorial Day weekend -- 'til I got a haircut at Chop Tops in Merriam. Dang, should I get my hair dyed black??

These people came to Westport on a sunny Saturday afternoon for Kansas City Beerfest 2010.
Volunteers supported a healthy variety of beers ... and raised money for the Kansas City Free Health Clinic.
Visitors were able to sample countless varieties of beer, bock, porter, lager, ale, IPA, you name it.
What's better than all the ice-cold beer you care to drink? How about live music from Snot Rocket!
Beerfest is a chance to sample exotic tastes from Canada, Germany, Belgium, and every place in between.
Of course, some of the best beers come from the USA! I'm fond of Kansas City's own Boulevard beer.

I've always been a fan of the Sonic half-price happy hour on drinks between 2-4 pm. But now I'm torn between the cherry limeade and the newly improved real ice cream shakes.

April 17th was my sister's birthday (happy birthday, Rebecca) but it was also Record Store Day. As if I needed another reason to drop in at Vinyl Renaissance or Zebedee's RPM.

Time for the spring season at the Kansas City Zoo. They're open year-round, but there's some new stuff now!
Kids always seem to love the North American river otters.
JACK-FM was on hand for the grand opening of Snakes Alive!
Don't worry, this was just the scene at the gift shop. The real critters are generally behind glass.

Not so long ago, JACK-FM rolled up to the new building for Cass Regional Medical Center in Harrisonville.
Most of us avoid hospitals -- but on a day when you need one, it's great to have a place so state-of-the-art.
Silence! I am working on my Kraftwerk tribute album over here, do not meddle with my mad genius.
I keep the Airwolf theme cued up in the CD player in case a helicoptor lands next to the JACK-FM hummer.
This isn't just any helicoptor. It's Life Flight Eagle, the air ambulance that saves lives every day.
