Cairo's historic downtown main street. Note that the marquee on the theatre is advertising "Riverboat Days" -- Cairo's Fall festival.
Historic Magnolia Manor; everybody slept here.
This beautiful downtown church is boarded up.
Cairo's main post office and court house.
The Cairo Custom House built in 1872.
I took this photo because of the mural painted on the side of the building. It's an obvious copy of the famous Currier & Ives painting of the great steamboat race between the Natchez and the Robert E. Lee.
The harbor tow Sharin K. making a hard left turn at the Cairo confluence.
The tow Robert R. Jewell pushing hard up the Mississippi.
The tow Viking Queen loading barges on the Ohio waterfront. What a gorgeous boat!
