I enjoyed the exciting boys and girls basketball games recently between Notre Dame and Central High School. However, the seemingly summary and arbitrary decision to move the games to the cavernous Show Me Center, a decision made more than a decade ago, was woefully wrong and destroyed a decades-long tradition that was an integral part of Cape Girardeau's community history.

All this in a town that can't pass a smoking ban. Cape Girardeau, you never fail to entertain.
