The community of Cairo, Illinois, once a food desert, welcomed its new market last year with balloons and cheers. But the store is struggling — exposing problems with the programs set up to help.
Cairo is a ghost town. That is where my dad was born when my grandfather was building the bridges. I have always wanted to visit but haven’t made it yet
It’s a pleasant enough little town, but low laying. I used to truck and went there a few times. But you get the feeling there’s an imminent flood coming. Just due to geography I wouldn’t want to own anything that isn’t a railroad bridge there.

Well my grandpa built those bridges. Part of my interest in seeing the area.
