1. Sikeston Jaycee Bootheel Rodeo

Reviewed By Justin H - Bloomfield, Missouri
Went to the last night of the rodeo because my family loves Aaron Lewis' music. If anybody says this is good family entertainment then they must have never went. Nothing but a bunch of drunk people and barely dressed nasty women trying to show everything they've got. People hanging on fence preventing people from being able to see. The local sheriff's department provided security inside and did a poor job. Will definitely never go back. Not worth the money.

The displays Of antique Railway maintenance & station items, were only surpassed,, in interest, to those from the railway cars. I've been a "railroader" all my live, growing up in a small railway crossroad town. I still found items of interest that are seldom seen. Hopefully the tourist & area enthusiasts can raise some $'s to upgrade this fine centerpiece, of thi city & county.

This municipality has done a stellar job of restoring & maintaining the brick streets, downtown. The train station is a stellar centerpiece of the old town. Being Sunday, we didn't find much activity, but we enjoyed strolling around the area. We found a great breakfast, at a downtown place.

We stopped in on March 2, 2016. It was about 6:00 p.m. and we decided that we both wanted a full meal. So we chose Cheers. Service was fast and waitress came back several times to check on us. Food was hot and fresh as usual. (They give you quiet a bit of food on your plate for what you pay). They have live bands several nights a week for a relaxing and enjoyable experience.

With nearly three dozen stores, you can shop to your heart's content at the only outlet shopping center between St Louis and Memphis.
Reviewed By Fruitloop83
There are only a few good stores left, the rest have closed. I have noticed over the past year or so the prices have gone up by at least double. The sales have gone to 50-75% off to 25-50% off, mainly 25%. Many of the stores are far from outlet as their prices are more expensive than department store prices. I'll go back of I have to, otherwise I will just go 30 miles north to cape and shop.
