Future City, Illinois, just outside of Cairo.

Passed though a number of times on the way to goose hunting, never spent time there. All black population, extremely poor. Their homes are made from combinations of old barn siding and hammered tin cans. Drove through one time when there was a funeral procession: the casket was made of old plywood, etc.

A very ironic name, and quite depressing.
