Bars, boutiques and burgers If campus activities didn't appeal, the off-campus world offered stores, bars, fast-food restaurants, and movie theaters. Cape Girardeau's many chain stores and specialty boutiques fiercely competed for stu- dent dollars, but no more fiercely than the local bars. The Playdium kicked off the school year with its traditional Shrimp Night, and The Sidewalk offered free T-shirts, beer coolers, and 25 cent draws during its grand opening. Going Eastside to Illinois, with its larger dance floors and lower legal drinking age, was a pastime that packed The Hush Puppy and My Place with students eager to hear Hustutler and Fletcher. Eating was a favorite off-campus sport in any season, but one which required some serious decisions. At McDonalds, it was either a Big Mac or a Quarter Pounder, while at Pizza Hut, it was Thin and Crispy versus Thick and Chewy crust. Movie theaters provided the excitement of first- run films that could not be matched by cop and doctor television shows or feature-length reruns in the dorms. The only problem was a 952.50 admission price that often turned a night at the movies into a hole in the budget.
