OLATHE, Kan. â An Olathe mother of four is taking the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and turning them around to achieve a life-long goal.
Kelly Morse, 36, is about one week away from earning her high school diploma. She left school when she was pregnant with her son, Jordan. I just really, honestly never thought this day would come as I just kept creeping closer to 40, Morse said.
There's a new place for people to grab a quick bite to eat in the City Market in Kansas City.
Lé Cronic Cafe opened up to much fan fare on Saturday. The owner, Bryan Merker used to run Beignet several doors down but closed due to the pandemic.
