Cairo, Illinois.


A place I did research on was Cairo, Illinois. Cairo has a population of about 3,632 people. The town is thought of the strangest city on the river. Cairo has been known as a sad place, abandoned. The city was built to have a population 5 times of what it is now.

Spring Break!!!

It was April 10th of Spring Break and we were on are way to the concert, the line was veryy long. We got to the end and the lined just zoomed by sooner than I knew it we were in the big building getting ready for the bands to play. There was a ton of pushing and shoving coming from all sides. And then the music began to boom threw the concert, everyone dancing it was so much fun.When my favorite band came out (metro station) Me and my friend, Phalen went crazy! We knew all the lyrics to the songs and sang with the band! After all the bands finished Phalen and I went to get the Metro station T-shirts, the concert was so much fun!

Japanese man is a double A-bomb survivor

In the story about the Japanese man who survived both A-bomb attacks. I think the story is very sad. Because of everyone dying. However that man was very lucky that he survived BOTH attacks.
