Cairo, Illinois Commercial Street
On the way to St. Louis today we drove through Cairo, Illinois - down Commercial Street. It is a ghost town now and very interesting. I need to get out of suburbia more often so I can see stuff like this.

Cairo (pronounced KAY-row, NOT like the Egyptian city) is famous for being mentioned in Twain’s “Huck Finn” novel & played a critical role in the Civil War.
Not much has happened there since.
See you soon,
