ON THE STREET

This week the Southeast Missourian asked, "How do you feel about roadside memorials?"

Eugene Holloway, Cape Girardeau

"My thought is when I see them ... I think golly, somebody got killed there. It really doesn't bother me at all. I don't see anything wrong with it necessarily."

Jackie Fishback, Cape Girardeau

"I think they make people stop and think to drive safer."

Melinda Schnurbusch, Perryville

"They make me stop and think ... to make me slow down. I think they are fine."

Johnny Marshall, Sikeston

"Slow down I suppose. It doesn't bother me (to see the memorials) ... it's OK."

John Messimer, Brooklyn, Mich.

"I think it makes people aware of the dangers on certain parts of the highway. I've got one in my neighborhood where a kid was killed. Every time you go by there you've got to think about it ... My daughter went off in the same spot. She didn't get injured but she went right off that curve where the kid was killed there two years ago. People still stop by that memorial. They still put flowers on it like Memorial Day and that.
