[VIDEO] I didn't realize Cairo (Kay-ro) was at the southern most point of the State of Illinois. It's a city characterized as a ghost town and perhaps a sign of how well the rest of the state is doing compared to Chicago. The Chicagoland area is the most populous area of this state, that's where most of this state's people are.
It's also why in spite of what some in downstate might want that they can force Chicago out of Illinois.
Either way this was a very interesting recent visit to Cairo. In my recollection I've only passed through Cairo once and then it was on a Greyhound bus and I barely remember it. This town just seems so rural and almost in another state like Kentucky or even Mississippi. As we see here however there are some landmarks worth seeing.
It was interesting to see Lord Spoda visit some levies that protect the town from flooding by the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers.
