Cairo (Alexander County), Illinois

These next three postcards come from a small county in southern Illinois, Alexander County. These postcards are courtesy of the Cairo Chamber of Commerce. Unfortunately, they don't have an active website to link you to. In fact, I had to call and leave a voice message (from a number I got off a third-party site) just to contact them. So far, this is the only county that I've contacted by phone. It took 2 1/2 weeks to get a response, but I'm glad I did! They have some beautiful looking buildings there. Thanks so much!

Alexander County, North Carolina

This next one is from Alexander County Chamber of Commerce. I'm so glad that my message got through! This was the county where I had to actually type up and fax a request to, because there was some kind of glitch with their email servers that kept bouncing my emails back.

In any case, I got it and that's all that matters! Here is a postcard of Rocky Face Mountain in central Alexander County. That sure looks like it would be fun to climb.
