DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES WILL CHANGE LOCATIONS

Some changes are being made in the antique and collectible business in downtown Cape Girardeau.

Greg Hahs announced earlier this month that Heartland Antique Emporium will close its doors at 5 N. Main on April 30. Some of the dealers now in the mall will relocate in the downtown area.

Main Street Antiques will open at 31 N. Main May 1, and Heartland Antiques will open at a date to be announced in the building at the corner of Spanish and Independence.

Madder Rose, 31 N. Main, is closing operations to make way for Main Street Antiques, operated by Judith Golightly, who will provide a variety of antiques and military collectibles. Also at the 31 N. Main location will be Paper Moon, which features old and rare magazines, books and other paper memorabilia, and a used- and antique-furniture shop.

Six of the current Heartland dealers will move into the building now housing an art gallery, providing a variety of antique and collectible items.
