A Town Forgotten – Chris Arnade – Medium

Photos of Cairo, Illinois, home to the Egyptian god squad of Jacquel, Ibis, and Bast. These are haunting and heartbreaking.
I remember Cairo 18 years ago, when I went and ate and walked around the museum and talked to people there. It looks like everything is worse…
My inspiration for the feel of the rundown concept pieces for “American Gods” by Neil Gaiman. These are pictures of Cario in Illoinois. An area that is mentioned in the book.
Sad to see how much Cairo has slipped downhill in the last 17 years. And it wasn’t exactly Booming back then…
