Cape Girardeau On the Mighty Mississippi

Cape Girardeau On the Mighty Mississippi

Cape Girardeau is a thriving Mississippi River community located about 130 miles south of St. Louis, MO via Interstate 55. We are known as the City of Roses because of the extensive rose gardens found throughout the community. Pride in the community is evident everywhere---you'll find well-maintained established neighborhoods with period homes as well as distinctive new subdivisions featuring homes of distinctive architecture---a charming downtown shopping atmosphere as well as an impressive regional shopping mall. As a regional medical center with two major hospitals St. Francis Medical Center and Southeast Missouri Hospital, we are an ideal place for those seeking a convenient, but stimulating retirement location. As home to several major manufacturing plants, including Procter and Gamble and the Dana Corporation, we offer a variety of employment opportunities. The new Bill Emerson Memorial Bridge is almost completed across the Mississippi River and is certain to add distinction to our horizon. Overlooking the bridge Southeast Missouri University is establishing a new River campus for Performing Arts which will undoubtedly enhance our cultural activities. On the other side of town private investors have built the new Dalhousie golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus. Plans call for future upscale residential housing development in that area.
