Hi, Regarding Cairo Ohio. I went to a town in Mexico, called San Miguel Allende last Oct. The town was built because the Spaniards found silver nearby. When the mines were closed, the town became a ghost town. But some artists were attracted to its preserved colonial buildings. And they restored them. Now the town is booming with tourists from everywhere in the world. Good luck!
Agreed. Very little about the actual river. And there is so much to talk about. Wasn’t really looking for a lesson on “systemic racism” we get enough of those EVRY day. Thought maybe I’d learn something about the river I spent so much time on but nope.
Pronounce it kay-row!! Gotta love the "river rats", they are salt of the earth, God fearing, honest, self reliant and will give you the shirt off their backs! This is America! Love from WKy ❤️
Oddly they skipped my home towns. Natchez, MS the oldest settlement on the Mississippi. Didn't mention Devil's Punchbowl that most want to bury as a bad post Civil War memory. Just across the river from Natchez is Vidalia, LA my home town (sort of because I'm actually 10 miles south of there a quarter mile off the river) but I pretty much live on both sides of the river and on the river as a crew boat/supply boat and emergency transport boat Captain for the towboat industry. The things I have witnessed are book worthy. The many deaths. The unrecoverable bodies. The once fairly clean but muddy waters now reek of pollution but on the upside it's a beautiful river that demands respect. So many sunrises and sunsets. Full moons and dark nights. I have ran some of the strangest currents ever. The forever changing river. Once you learn to navigate high water comes then recededs and you start all over again. New sand bars appear. Old ones dissappear. This River gets in your blood. I run it night and day, storms, fog, high winds, etc. Keeps you on point. I'm at mile 357 right now (Marango Bend) on the Lower where the river runs wide and crazy. Just surprised me they didn't cover this area with all the history and plantations here.. I grew up as a sharecropper on this delta farming. Gave up 1/4th of the crops to the land owners which was fair until soybean prices bottomed out. Sharecropping has basically died as big corporations took over. Bill Gates purchased thousands of acres here putting many sharcroppers out of buiness thus I turned to the river for work; hard work but people here are used to hard work. As a child I sat atop the levee on my pony and watched many baptisms. I attended an all black church right here where I sit now as the only white person (actually Indian but thats another story about migrating down here in the 1960's). The church still stands and is active. I have saw this river change so much over the past 50 years. If the river wins (and eventually it will) it will take a more western route that would mean disaster for the Port of Baton Rouge and New Orleans and wipe out the Morgan City area. The river wants to turn west just south of here but man is trying to divert this change. Eventually the river will win. This is no river to play on; the Lower. It demands respect. Just off the top of my head I can count 7 unrecoverable bodies in this area over the past couple of years. It's not for pleasure boating nor the inexperienced boater at all.
You should write a book. You're very intelligent and capable of telling us story about your life. I live in Slidell Louisiana, do you know where that is? ☄️
This is a beautiful piece you have written. My family are from Natchez and would frequently cross over to Vidalia. The punch bowl is hush hush. Sad to say.
Man I thought I had a gift for writing stories but u my friend are definitely in the wrong field!! U should indeed write a book about this!! U have a gift my ppl!!
The lower Mississippi has certainly helped to developed Southern culture and life, but the upper Mississippi played a major role in providing the raw materials for building the West and spreading culture.
I drove through Cairo a few years back bc I knew of its historic significance. I’m also a lover of old towns, the sometimes blown out towns that are now in decline: nothing prepares me for Cairo though. It was the most dismal, jolting dose of ruin I’ve ever experienced. Again, not a spring chicken, this was unique in all my travels. I do wish I could go back and look again though honestly, and hope to see some history.
GOD bless the people of the Mississippi River please keep the music 🎵🎶 going on..GOD throught your son JESUS please forgive me of my sins if I ever took anything for granted or anyone in my life I'm so sorry .I pray for all people of the world.amen.
America spends billions and trillions of dollars on military exercises around the globe, but is unable to develop this rich culturally region. I can't understand it, seriously.
So authentic. You captured the river, the music and the pain of poverty. Great writing, editing and storytelling. This is documentary film making at its best. Thank you for sharing this.
A story of half truths. I've been in a river town for 60 years. This area is one of the nations best kept secrets because of videos like this. Keep them coming!
Thought the Murphy bed was a great idea. Don't be daunted by a basic 2X4 frame that folds from strap hinges you'd mount from frame to wall. As is our style - just simple - yet the bottom of your bed frame could easily be shelves!!
It is the same story for each and every river. We are not keeping any stone un-turned in polluting our rivers and the time will come when the world will go to wars just for a glass of water.
Having both rivers less than a half a hour from my home I find myself drewn to them So much to be seen The spring time is the best time to be on them unless there in flood stage The Mo in flood stage can be a unforgiving river Spent many a day sand bagging Trying to hold it in her banks
Is anyone else kind of confused by the way the narrator keeps pronouncing Cairo as “Kay-roo” lol I thought it was “kī-row” like in Egypt. I’ve never been to the little town in this video so I’m not certain about the pronunciation but since there’s another town with the same name as one in Egypt (Memphis) and that one is pronounced the same way as the one in Egypt I’m willing to bet that Cairo is as well lol. Just my best educated guess though lol
There are several towns in my home state that are not pronounced as you might suppose. Vye-enna, Ay-thens, El Dor-ay-do, and Care-o. Then, of course, there's Benld, pronounced Ben L D.
I've been on the river since 2014, and everyone out here calls it "kay-row". First time I called it "kī-row" my mate looked at me in total confusion. No idea what I was talking about. 😆

Great video and documentation! If anyone thinks God plays a part in any of this, think again. If I were god, I would not play favorites on who lives, suffers or dies, I would rather give them all equality. There are two universal natural forces of nature that all livings are affected; one's choices and actions of the past and present(karma) that determine what the future is as a result of cause and consequences.

@@nlwin7789 yes. I have some small knowledge of Buddhism, and I'm sure you may be more knowledgeable in it that I am.

They adhere to Buddha's teachings and enlightenment, then posture to his statue, then claim they don't worship a god. But besides for that. Both sects have karma in their teachings. So are you inferring that that karma in Hinduism, is different in Buddhism?
@pryncess-abledbyGod exactly. America is regarded as the richest country but it's people are going to bed hungry. People are homeless, no good health system. So how is it different from Zimbabwe then. How many tent cities are in America, how many homeless people in UK and other EU countries. Just because you write it on a piece of paper it doesn't mean it is. The people of Zimbabwe majority lives in rural areas where they grow their own food. Unless there's natural disasters that the people can not control like draught. No country is perfect
This story is not unique...it has been played out across all rural America since the farm crisis...nearly every rural town has been in decline since the late 1970s. Take a road trip across iowa or nebraska devoid of the interstate and you'll see virtual ghost towns where nothing that is not directly attached to farming survives
C'est là que je m'aperçois qu'il me manque beaucoup de vocabulaire. Par contre je comprends facilement tous les mots que je connais. L'accent ne me pose pas de problème. C'est le résultat d'avoir passé entre 8 et 18 ans un mois d'été dans une famille en Angleterre, en Cornwall à Truro.

This isn’t about the best part of the Mississippi-this is British people talking about how poor we are while mispronouncing our towns. Iowa/Wisconsin/Minnesota/North Missouri are the best parts of the Mississippi
You pronounce Cairo wrong and I really question your claims about the positive impacts of gambling in DeSoto County. You should check yourself before bringing your English opinions to bear.
This river has been doing this for thousands of years man can't beat mother nature well will be long gone and she will continue to do her work for thousands of more years
Hi,
Regarding Cairo Ohio.
I went to a town in Mexico, called San Miguel Allende last Oct.
The town was built because the Spaniards found silver nearby.
When the mines were closed, the town became a ghost town.
But some artists were attracted to its preserved colonial buildings.
And they restored them.
Now the town is booming with tourists from everywhere in the world.
Good luck!
It's Cairo Illinois not Ohio
This was incredible!, My wife - she is Japanese, she loves the Blues, as do I she, and I were amazed! Thank you.
I don’t think this is about the Mississippi, but more about poverty in the black communities along the river. Depressing to say the least.
What did you expect it to be abt? The fish and wildlife remaining along the Mississippi?
Yes tuns of black people died in that river
Agreed. Very little about the actual river. And there is so much to talk about. Wasn’t really looking for a lesson on “systemic racism” we get enough of those EVRY day. Thought maybe I’d learn something about the river I spent so much time on but nope.
