Happy New Year! We’re taking a three-day weekend

Happy New Year!

Yeah, we know we’re two days early, but we’re taking Friday off. So no new Plog until 2011.

There’s a bit of good news, bad news on the safety front this New Year’s Eve. Yellow Cab is no longer doing free cab rides. However, the Kansas City Strip trolley is offering free rides on Friday with stops in all of the party spots — the Power & Light District, Martini Corner, Westport, 18th & Vine, the Plaza, Brookside and Waldo. So, while you won’t be delivered to your doorstep, you can get a lift back to your ‘hood for free if you need to get home from one of these entertainment districts.
