Business update

What is the new business going into the (former) Long John’s Silver building? It still has the drive-up window.

According to Barry Blevins, community development director for the City of Sikeston, it’s his understanding the site will be El Tapatio, which will move from its current location at Malone and Marian in Sikeston.

Talking about prices

Yes, let’s talk about the BMU in Sikeston, Missouri. We’ve got some of the highest prices of electricity ever, and we thought Ameren was expensive.

Question on fireworks ordinance enforcement

Yes, I have a question. Last year they voted an ordinance against fireworks. Since it’s getting time for the Fourth of July to get here soon, I’m wanting to know if they’re actually going to write tickets for fireworks all over town when it’s not supposed to be or if they’re just going to let it slide again like they did last year. That is my question. What is the law enforcement going to do this year? Thank you.
