This artist rendering, which was given out during the Cape Girardeau City Council meeting in April, shows a proposed obelisk to be constructed in downtown Cape Girardeau. (Submitted) Thursday, September 22, 2022 ~ Updated 9:45 PM A 20-foot high obelisk will soon be placed at the corner of Broadway and Main streets in Cape Girardeau, providing a touchpoint between the city and the mighty Mississippi River. The gateway marker, funded in part by the Downtown Cape Girardeau Community Improvement District, will be a three-sided monolith topped by an eagle and with a round planter at its base.
