#3. Perhaps you are nostalgic like me, and miss Drive-In movies. Check out this article…maybe you’re close enough you and your staff can do a bonding night at one, or better yet maybe your students can do a story over one of these gems: http://www.missourilife.com/travel/starlit-cinema/
#4. Leave it to Al Tompkins at Poynter to really dig in and remind us that Journalists are supposed to refrain from bias. This article got quite a bit of buzz on twitter last week: http://www.poynter.org/news/mediawire/353883/same-sex-marriage-covering-the-battles-ahead/
