CAIRO, Illinois: EERILY EMPTY Town Is Almost Totally Abandoned, Despite Its Fascinating History

I visited Cairo, Illinois. The town has lost 90% of its population and is on the verge of become a ghost town. The city was once among the most promising and fastest growing in the country, but those heady days are long over.

The last thing you want when visiting a new city is an unsafe neighborhood! So watch this video before your next trip to Chicago!

The Worst Parts of Rockford, Illinois: Westside, Rockford, Illinois 5K.

Rockford is a rustbelt city that sees issues with high unemployment and crime rates. Most cities like Rockford unfortunately are segregated, where certain parts of town are nice while other parts of town are struggling. The westside of Rockford is a part of the city that has seen better days. In this video, you'll see what the westside of Rockford looks like today, and you'll see plenty of abandoned industrial warehouses that once employed hundreds, if not, thousands of workers.

America's Most Corrupt City - Chicago ????????

Chicago is known for many great things, it's also known for having some of the most entrenched corruption in the country. Join me and First Amendment attorney Benjamin Barr as we show you some of the most outlandish and shocking examples of corruption that exists in the city.
Sources to support Benjamin's claims:
1. Chicago public school’s awful performance: or see Illinois Policy Institute’s analysis:

2. Professor Simpson ranking Chicago as the most corrupt city in the nation based on the number of public corruption convictions:

3. The City of Chicago, Office of Inspector General’s parking meter lease financial analysis: . In the Public Interest’s short article about the same and how bad the deal was:
.

4. General Aviation News, covering the fines the City of Chicago had to pay for its illegal destruction of Meigs Field: .
True enough, Mayor Daley cited safety reasons as the need to exercise dictatorial powers to destroy the field. Most folks exercising an abuse of power will cite public safety as their need to exercise such power

5. Information on ownership of the Chicago Skyway shared between Canadian and Australian investors: .

Some corrections from Benjamin:

1. In my first discussion about cashless bail, I accidentally state “convicted” instead of “arrested.” I state that correctly later in the recording. Simple mix-up.

2. Similarly, I sometimes say “Spot Shotter” instead of “Shot Spotter” as a simple conversational mistake.

3. Apparently, I was slightly off on property taxes, as Illinois (2.05 percent) is the second worst in the nation just under New Jersey (2.21 percent).

4. Several commenters were “shocked” or “surprised” I didn’t mention x person or y story. There’s only so much time and space to discuss many examples of corruption.

5. Several old school Chicagoans complained I pronounced Pulaski incorrectly. I employ ordinary English pronounced in an ordinary accent when speaking.

Top 10 Reasons NOT to Move to Chicago, Illinois

TOP 10 Reasons NOT To Move To Chicago, Illinois
Have you thought about potentially moving to Chicago, Illinois? Probably not! Although Chicago has a lot of positives, in this video we will tell you the Top 10 reasons why you should NOT move to Chicago, Illinois.

► Top 10 Most Dangerous Cities -
► 10 Reasons NOT To Move To Alaska, Anchorage-

As popular as the Bulls and Cubs are, Chicago has many drawbacks. From its cold weather to its high rate of crime, Chicago might not be the city for you. If you’re considering a move to Chicago, chances are you’ve heard plenty of positive feedback. After all, the city has a largely stellar reputation among locals and tourists alike, and for good reason. Stunning architecture, world-class restaurants, a vibrant arts scene, victorious sports team Chicago has it all. If you are a lover of pro sports, Chicago can’t be beaten. Whether you choose to root for the Cubs or the White Sox (and yes you have to choose), you’ll never run out of crowded bars to watch the game. Nothing quite beats an afternoon with friends at Wrigley Field, whether you are a baseball fan or not.
But, like any other city, it’s not perfect, and it’s not for everyone. If you’re contemplating a move to Windy City, it’s worth considering the negative aspects. Here are the top 10 reasons for not moving to Chicago, Illinois.

Overrated Cities: 10 U.S. Metro Areas That Give You the Least City for Your Dollar

Today's video is a companion piece to my previous video, Affordable Cities: 10 US Metro Areas With Underrated Livability, Walkability and Transit. Like that video, this one approaches the question, Which city should I move to? but does it from the opposite direction! I've talked about affordable cities that have great walkability, useful transit, and high-level urban amenities, but what about expensive cities that have the opposite of all those things?

I discuss how to think about whether a city is expensive or not, and some of the things that might offset expensive rent or a big mortgage: transit and walkability that mean you spend significantly less on a car, cultural amenities that mean you need to spend less on travel to more cosmopolitan cities, weather that means you spend less on travel to tropical winter destinations.

This is CityNerd's guide to the ten most overrated cities to live in the U.S. Your results may vary, so let me know what you think I overrated or underrated down in the comments!

The 5 Must Eats of Chicago


The Don'ts of The USA


We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.


We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.


We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.


Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.


Want to grab some great gear? We have used Osprey Packs for years & swear by them. Check them out here


Need some clothing for your next adventure? Patagonia has some pretty good stuff for all kinds of travelers.
