(KFVS) - Historic buildings in the Heartland have a lot of stories attached to them.
Sometimes those stories are lost if the buildings aren’t maintained.
Downtown Cape Girardeau is home to many historic buildings. Some still stand, but others are just a memory.
“Each one tells its own story about a certain time in the city’s history and so once a building is lost, that story is lost as well,” said Cape Girardeau’s City Planner Ryan Shrimplin.
