WEEKLONG SERIES LOOKS AT CAPE LIFE

The Southeast Missourian on Sunday begins a special report on the quality of life in Cape Girardeau.

Titled "Qualities of Life," the weeklong series is based on findings of a Cape Girardeau Chamber of Commerce committee that spent a year gathering information about Cape Girardeau. The committee looked at trends in education, economics, public safety, natural environment, health, social environment, government-politics and culture-recreation from 1990 to 1995.

The chamber's report points out both the city's strengths and weaknesses. It takes a hard look at the city and gives insight into its achievements and failures.

Southeast Missourian readers won't want to miss a single installment of the series, which will be published every day next week and on Sunday, June 1.
