ON THE STREET

The Southeast Missourian asked, "What do you think of the trend of docked riverboat casinos versus cruising riverboat casinos?"

Dottie Goodrich, St. Louis

"If you're going to lose it doesn't matter if you're floating down the river or if your docked."

Mike Goodrich, St. Louis

"It doesn't make any difference where it is, whether it's floating or along the shore."

A.W. Job, Cape Girardeau

"I don't think that they can cruise on the river with one of those casinos, because the river varies. The channels change. As far as putting a casino down here in this river, I don't think it's possible."

Doyle Mouser, Cape Girardeau

"I think they ought to just have them dockside. That way you can get off when you get ready. If you've had a bad day, you don't have to cruise the rest of the day."

Kathy Shepard, Glen Allen

"I think they should be dockside, because it's too dangerous to go up and down the waterways of the Mississippi."
