“Kaskaskia is a village in Randolph County, Illinois, United States. In the 2010 census the population was 14, making it the second-smallest incorporated community in the State of Illinois in terms of population”

only the fieldmarshal has visited.

I been to Cairo, ILL in Jan ‘84. The southern tip.

“Pronounced kay-row by local people, Cairo, Illinois is ... Ohio River and Mississippi River to the Nile delta area in Egypt. Cairo ...”

Vivid memories of my few days in Fort Campbell area, TN. Had a day off and rested instead of driving to Nashville. Never been back. Next time I drive to FLA I am taking the inland route and going thru Chattanooga. The I-95 coastal route is dullsville.

I’ve been to Cairo twice. A very sad place. Lost a huge % of its peak population, largely due to racial disharmony. Ought to have been a premier river town tourist destination and preserved its Victorian-era architecture (similar to how places like Cape Girardeau and Paducah have). Instead it has huge, empty blocks where those buildings used to stand, decayed or collapsing buildings which do stand, some blocks turned to jungle, streets grown-over with grass, a large abandoned hospital, a near ghost-town. Absolutely inexcusable.
