Yes, Cairo, IL., is bad news. Even worse is the nearby Future City.
When goose hunting we would stay in Cairo and then travel through Future City to get to the fields. Homes built out of scrap lumber, roofs made out of flattened beer and soda cans. I recall stopping to wait for a funeral procession to pass. A casket made out of weathered barn siding drawn by a mule.
