New interpretive plaques at the floodwall murals

Chuck Martin, left, executive director of the Cape Girardeau Convention and Visitors Bureau, and Kevin Taylor, development and resources coordinator with Old Town Cape, install a newly designed interpretation board Monday at the Mississippi River Tales mural on Water Street in Cape Girardeau. The boards include more text than the old ones to describe the 24 murals that depict Cape Girardeau's past. A ceremony commemorating the murals' 10th anniversary will be at 2 p.m. Thursday in the parking lot at the corner of Water and Themis streets.
