I have been shopping at Pastimes for 20 years. My office is in the same building, a former school that was turned into apartments and small, locally owned stores and restaurants. Pastimes is an affordable antiques store. There are, indeed, some lovely items that are pricey and/or large--including furniture and musical instruments,but there are also many items in the $3.50-$18.00 range that have found their way into my Christmas presents over the years. The new owner has added more vintage clothing and has expanded the jewelry choices. The staff is small knowledgeable and always attentive.

Located within Cape Girardeau's North County Park, the Cape Girardeau Conservation Nature Center is a place where families can have fun while exploring the rich cultural history and wildlife of Southeast Missouri. Admission is free. Exhibits begin with a collection of Native American artifacts including primitive tools that were used to harvest plants and animals hundreds of years ago. Interactive exhibits encourage exploration of the forest, marsh, swamp, and big river habitats of Southeast Missouri. Outside, "White Oak Trace" features two miles of nature trails allowing visitors to traverse rolling river hills with sinkholes, deep hollows, and ravines covered with prominent stands of poplar and oak. Native plants featured in the Nature Center's landscape provide habitat for hummingbirds, butterflies, and other wildlife species. The nature center also has a gift shop, with a wide variety of educational books, videos, and nature-related items.

We have always visited here in the month of November to pick up their Conservation Nature Calendars. They make a great gift for folks that love to keep up with what is happening in nature. (Each day has something factual to tell you about the world we live in. Great for children, too, as a learning tool). We love the Nature Center, the nice park, fishing ponds, and hiking trails. It is a true blessing to have this facility in our city! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you and yours!

I always enjoy shopping at our local mall. The pandemic has hit it hard just like it has everywhere else in our country. Sadly, we are losing our Macy's sometime this spring. It has been one of our anchor stores at this mall for as long as the mall has been here. (It used to be called Famous Barr). I truly hate to see this store leave, but I know this past year has been rough for everyone. West Park Mall still has many other stores including J.C. Penney's, Victoria's Secret, American Eagle Outfitter's, Barnes & Noble just to name a few. I don't know what will go in the space where Macy's is located, but it most likely won't be vacant for very long. There are several specialty stores, and restaurants inside our mall, also. It is located near many major hotels and restaurants right off I-55 at the Route K exit going east. I hope 2021 gets better for everyone. God Bless!

Recently went on two consecutive Tuesdays to see Jumanji and 1917. Both movies were excellent. The theatre is a big improvement over the previous ownership. The reclining seat are wonderful, the place is clean and comfortable, and the “specials” are great. $5 Tuesdays are a big draw - any movie just $5 per person, and if you sin up as a rewards member, you get a free bag of popcorn. We especially like the ability to reserve our seat online and ticket-less entry. Very convenient.
