Crossing to the Cape

A journey becomes official when you cross a gateway that rises high into the sky.

It's the time to take note: New roads and new terrain up ahead. No going back now.

There are over 130 bridges that span the Mississippi, and the one at Cape Girardeau, Missouri is one of the more modern expanses that sit astride the mighty river.

Upon crossing into the Missouri town on the Mississippi one is greeted by a progressive atmosphere and style. This is an elegant river town where eclectic eateries are draped in past glories, where new edifices rise with an air of sophistication.

It is a city where you can spend a lazy afternoon on its grassy river banks watching barges propel their loads southward.
