Buildings long identified with the business life of Cape Girardeau are falling before wrecking crews as work progresses on a spacious parking lot at the corner of Broadway and Main. Ruins at the right are of the building occupied by the Hutson store, while the lone one remaining is the former structure owned by the Eakers family, and housing a tavern on the ground floor. In days of the saloons, it housed the Palace Bar.
