just like most people.
recent Cairo, IL news: it's the county seat for Alexander County, which had the distinction of losing a greater percentage of population last decade than any other county in the nation, from 8,238 in 2010 down to 5,240 in 2020 (-36.4%). Cairo itself lost -38.8% of its ever-dwindling population, dropping from 2,831 in 2010 down to 1,733 in 2020.

Ha! I forgot about it too. At least you can take the train to St Louis if you don’t have a car, and you live in East Saint. Cairo is isolated, and a shadow of its former self. I don’t know it’s transportation situation, but I imagine it’s nowhere near what ESTL has.
