Throwing it Back in 2015

Tom Neumeyer is a local photographer who has an exceptional collection of photographs of Cape Girardeau through the years; he’s also written a book, Cape Girardeau Then & Now that compares scenes of our river city throughout the years (which is for sale in our office, by the way, it’s a very cool coffee table book).  Lucky for me, he also loves to share those historic images!

When I approached him about borrowing some of his pictures for a Throwback Thursday series on VisitCape’s social media channels in 2015, he dropped off a stack of postcards dating as far back as 1907 and as recently as the late 1950’s highlighting Cape Girardeau through the decades.  They are scanned, cataloged and ready to take you on a quick trip to the Cape Girardeau of yesterday every Thursday this year!  

Join us in 2015 on a journey back in time to a Cape Girardeau without a flood wall and with a streetcar on Broadway, a Cape Girardeau that looks totally different and exactly the same, all the same time.  Postcards will pop up on VisitCape’s Facebook, Google+ and Twitter accounts every Thursday throughout 2015, and they’ll all be tagged with #capegirardeautbt.

Thanks for joining us on this adventure back in time!  We’d love to see your historic pictures of Cape Girardeau, MO – tag them with #capegirardeautbt to join in on the fun.
