For election clerking position with the County Clerk's Office in Cook County, Illinois. I got an offer letter intended for someone with the same given name-family name combination as me living a lot closer to Cook County than Canada-bound me.

A long time ago in the pages of The Question, as written by Dennis O'Neil and illustrated by Denys Cowan and others, it was said that Hub City, the titular character's home town, was modelled somewhat loosely upon East St. Louis, Illinois.

After seeing this item on the neighbouring town of Cairo, I wonder if that town was the only inspiration that Mr. O'Neil had in mind.

Or was Cairo in better shape back in the late 1980's?

Might it still be so, and this page isn't telling the whole story?
