Plaza Galleria Reduced to Rubble

I wonder if the plants managed to escape? Remember the piece I did on the plants that were trapped in the Plaza Galleria when the place shut down? They were the things of which bad dreams are made.

These look like the shrubs outside the building, not the orphans from inside.

Been empty since 2005

Cape Central High Photos

Ken Steinhoff, 2016Ken Steinhoff, Cape Girardeau Central High School Class of 1965, spent half a century in the ink-slinging business for papers in Missouri, Ohio, North Carolina, and Florida.

He retired in 2008 and has been spending time scanning hundreds of thousands of images because “photos once taken as news have grown enough whiskers that they’ve become history.”

Please comment on the articles when you see he may have left out a bit of history, forgotten a name or when your memory of a circumstance conflicts with his.

(His mother said her stories improved after all the folks who could contradict died off.)

Your information helps to make this a wonderful archive and may end up in book form.
