Drury should consider building downtown motel

To the editor:

In response to the article "River Campus opponent Jim Drury complains to city": I feel the River Campus will help Cape Girardeau. In regard to Drury's comment: "I never get a nickel's worth of credit for nothing," may I add that two negatives do not make a positive. I'm tired of his lack of support.

If he would visit other campuses such as the University of Missouri-Columbia and University of Missouri-Kansas City, Drury would find that campuses can be split. Development occurs around each.

Surely, Drury is making money along I-55. Can anyone imagine what he might make if he would build a motel near the bridge? He needs to be thinking ahead.
