Aw shit...we're going to have to start swapping Cape stories now.
I'm sorry you had to live in South for 4 years.
After Dearmont closed, that officially became the worst on campus...well, except for maybe the old football dorm on Greek Row. I lived in West my first year on campus (right after the remodel), then got the CA gig in Myers my last semester.

Cape pretty much sucked all possible ass, as far as a college town went. We're talking the big shiny buckle itself of the Bible Belt here, folks. There wasn't a bar within miles of the campus. "Interesting" I guess is a good adjective for it, but not in a good way!

Now you know there were several bars along Broadway, right by Houck Field. I'm not saying that you necessarily wanted to go to them, but they were there.
And I'm sure you spent a few nights over at the Purple Crackle.
Several of my mom's friends went there after high school, and at the time (mid-70s), SEMO was
the party school. Then, the school cracked down in the mid-80s, and all the party folk took their act to SMSU in Springfield. By the time I got there, it was fucking lame-o. It was starting to get a little better when I left at the end of '95...but apparently not by much.
And it's a great school if you're majoring in nursing, education, or historical preservation. The business program is getting better too. Part of the reason I originally went to SEMO was to get away from St. Louis...and the small town gig was alright...for a while. And if people like that sorta thing, it's cool...just not for me.
I had some great times down there though, most of them involving alcohol.
