Interesting pictures. I have never been to Cairo, IL. I thought the real problem with the town is a location prone to flooding. It is on a spit between the Mississippi & Ohio, right where two rivers join. Isn't the entire town surrounded by flood walls. I believe there was a major catastrophic flood in the 1930s and the town has declined ever since.
