To Many People’s Ruin
-->
These photos were taken in February of 2008 in Cairo, Illinois, at the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. Click for larger images.
Cairo was founded in the 18th century, and from the start was subject to the ravages of speculators, natural disasters, and every other unsavory fate imaginable. Once thought to be a potential rival for Louisville and St. Louis, Cairo’s population and prestige have been in steady decline more or less since the Civil War.
For more on Cairo, see the article “To Many People’s Ruin” in Bejeezus 12. If you’re going to go there (and you certainly should), let us know. If you’ve been there, post a comment with your experiences and/or photos.

The following is a quick and random list of some places and experiences we’ve had over the past year and a half. Most are free or nearly free. Hopefully you have some friends to stay with, but most hotels will put you in a strategic starting point.
KEEP IT CASUAL

Tess Dixon made her blanket out of old t-shirts that she wasn’t wearing and that were taking up a ton of space in her drawers. With just a plain sheet for backing, she stitched them all together, in her words, “all ghetto-style.”
