Another elderly man trying to get his exercise in was using his walker and needed chairs placed in other places than under the basketball goals. As a taxpayer of Cape Girardeau I feel my request is not unreasonable as senior citizens need to exercise as well as other citizens of Cape. Not all of us are able to walk a full lap.
