New theaters already targets of defacing
WELL, CAPE Girardeau, I am very shocked at what I saw yesterday. Our new theater complex has only been open two weeks. The first week I went there it was brand new, and everything was beautiful. The second week I went there, someone was sitting with his feet up on the chair in front of him. Most recently when I was there, to my amazement someone had scratched a name on the inside door of a women's restroom stall. I could not believe after two weeks someone was already defacing this beautiful theater. I do hope the theater people keep track of what's going on and stop these things from happening. It's just a shame that something so beautiful is already being defaced.

Maybe we could put him on the wall with his arm tied off with a belt from a Missouri mule and loading himself up with heroin made from a Missouri-grown poppies. Wouldn't that be great?

College-days beer bust was different
