What are some of the best gyms? Any gyms geared towards powerlifting?

I like to mountain bike with my dog, hike or do trails long distance like 12 miles can any one point me in the right direction? Willing to travel a little bit as well.

Who's all going to Cape Con this weekend?

Me and my roommate are going all day to Saturday we will be there cosplaying as Mario(me) And Luigi. We plan on being there from 10 to 8pm. Stop by and say hi(we're autistic so if we are awkward apologies). If you are cosplaying who are you going as? We should be okay with photos.

Living in Cape

Hello all!

Recently have been considering moving to Cape Girardeau and wanted to get an idea of what living in Cape is truly like? Been a hand full of times before but haven’t spent a long time there but wanted to get an idea of how you all feel about living in Cape? Also what jobs are also available as well?

Anything helps!

Thanks!

Cape Girardeau and Southeast MO Early Voting Hours/Locations (updated 10/27)

Updated with added counties. Please vote early and share with friends! Here's a google doc version of the info below in case it's helpful!

  • Early voting starts 10/22 and runs through 11/4 (Election Day is 11/5) - yes! Any registered voter can vote in their county now through Election Day! We may call it a weird name (no excuse absentee voting) but it’s really just early voting!
  • Accepted forms of ID (if your license expired after November 8, 2022 you can still use it!)
  • Problems or Questions? Call or Text the Election Protection Hotline at 866-687-8683 (866-OUR-VOTE) or visit 866ourvote.org to chat online. The hotline is staffed with trained volunteers who can help with voting issues big and small!
  • The ballot is long ballotpedia.org and the League of Women Voters’ Vote 411 are great resources to research your choices from the comfort of home. You can make selections on their website and print them out to bring with you (or mark up your sample ballot that should have come in the mail by now) - no need to memorize everything!

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.

Where to get YES ON 3 and Harris-Walz yard signs in SEMO

I am having trouble finding any. My local dem party organization is just a handful of people who meet in a church, and they said they didn't have any. I only found this out by knocking on someone's door and asking. Is there anywhere in SEMO I can pick some up? I would buy on Amazon but I doubt the money goes anywhere good, I'd rather get it from the organizations promoting amendment 3 or something adjacent. I travel to Cape every few weeks.

Looking for car repair

Can anyone recommend a good place to take a car for some under-the-hood repair work in the Cape area? No sure what the problem is yet, but getting some white smoke. Possibly something coolant related.

Massage therapy

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening. I am a Massage Therapist. Been in practice for well over 15 years. Graduated top 2 in my class with my associates degree. I've been advertising in the Cape Girardeau MO area for the past 9 years until I realized just recently. I was also a truck driver and couldn't put much effort into the massage. However, I'm local now and no longer a truck driver. This is the perfect time to advertise my personal business. Once again. I'm a massage therapist. I don't discriminate in who I massage. I've even created deals to help benefit certain needs and comfort levels. I wish to offer discounts to all Semo Students and all Cape Public School teachers and staff. I am mobile. I come to you. No I don't rent a store space. No I'm not applying for a job under nobody else. I worked hard to obtain my level of skill and my degree in Massage and Body Work. If anyone has any questions at all feel free to send me a message. Also be on the look out for wherever I can post my flyers and business cards. Thanks for reading. 💪🏾

Moving to Cape most likely next year - help please!

Hi there! My husband is getting a job transfer to Cape sometime next year and we were wondering where the best schools were in the area. My daughter is super young right now so she'll start daycare and then go on to kindergarten in a couple years. Want to make sure we move to a good area. Thank you in advance!!

Nice bike! Sweet backpack!

Anyone else wonder what that white guy on a bicycle is doing as he circles the " hood " areas of cape?

I assume he's an agent of some sort. Just taking a bite out of crime!! What a hero! He was in the rain today! I suppose they have cleaned up the westside of Cape and now taking care of the Southside. Good work, sir! Lock the druggies up and throw away that key!!!
