Smoore's

Has anyone else been there? It's next to Gaming Grounds on Broadway. It's a candy shop that serves hot chocolate, cider, and maybe tea. They also make their own marshmallows and s'mores! Neat to say the least.

23M Looking for a room for rent around SEMO

Hello I'm an incoming student this Spring and was looking for a room for rent around SEMO. I don't mind a 15-20 minute walk either.

I'll be flying in on the 24th of December, and probably reach Cape on the morning of 26th.

River

The family is contemplating moving to Cape Girardeau in the next year. Where we're from on the Mississippi (upper) there are a pretty good group of boaters who will cruise around the river, tube, and maybe park on a beach and enjoy themselves. Do people boat the Mississippi around Cape? And why not if they don't?

How long does it take to travel from Cape Girardeau to St. Louis, Missouri?

Hi! I am planning to move to Cape Girardeau. How long does it take to travel from Cape Girardeau to St. Louis, Missouri? And what are the modes of transportation going to St. Louis from Cape?

Also, what mode of transportation do you usually use to go to other states, like New York and Illinois? Do you drive by land or do you just go to airports? If yes, which airport does travellers from Cape Girardeau usually go to for a travel outside Cape? May I have the link of the airport's website? Thank you so much!

Your city is named after Jean Baptiste de Girardot, who established a temporary trading post in the area around 1733. He was a French soldier stationed at Kaskaskia between 1704 and 1720 in the French colony of La Louisiane.

The "Cape" in the city name referred to a rock promontory overlooking the Mississippi River; it was later destroyed by the railroad.

MO Supreme Court Justices Broniec and Gooch both voted to drop the abortion amendment from the Nov 5th ballot. They were in the minority, and the amendment remains on the MO Ballot. MY BALLOT will reflect a NO next to each of their names.

Nothing ruins a nice parade like... three abortion floats. This country will never get over itself.
