Ever wonder how milk gets from the cow to the bottle? As a child growing up, my Father owned and operated a Dairy and I worked there on Saturdays and after school, packaging cottage cheese and ice cream. Those small dairies are gone in the rural communities by and large,. However, the Shatto Milk Company has a thriving business operation in the Kansas City area and produces and sells organic, hormone free products. Tours are given and one can milk a cow, pet the calves, and learn how milk is bottled. The tasting room offers samples of the products. A tour of the facilities and 400 A. farm is $5.00 To learn more go to shattomilk.com

English Enlightenment – A Tudor Masterpiece
April 11, 2011
Angela and Todd Newnam became engaged, they had been living in separate condos in South End, formerly an old textile mill area and then an up-and-coming neighborhood in Charlotte, North Carolina. With a wedding just around the corner, the couple began looking at homes in Myers Park and Dilworth, two of the city’s most popular and well-known neighborhoods. But something was missing. While the homes they viewed were impressive, none were large enough to accommodate the large family the Newnams dreamed they’d one day have. “We really wanted a larger space,” says Angela. “We didn’t want to have to move twice.” Read more…
#72 Zona Rosa Entertainment District
April 9, 2011
Zona Rosa began as a dream of the former landowner. The family owned 90 acres on the northwest corner of I-29 and Barry Road. As the area developed with schools and homes, the family realized that there was no common place for the residents to come together as community. After a long search by the family to find just the right developer who could put the dream into reality, Zona Rosa was born! This central gathering place for area residents is just that with its many shops, dining establishments, entertainment venues and events such as the up coming Easter Parade fashioned after the Country Club Plaza Parade of years gone-by. The crowns from downtown days gone-by durning the Holiday Season,were recreated and adorn the area for the Holidays! An EVENTS calendar can be found at www.zonarosa.com Another Cone Team service for you.
