Cairo

The old Burlington Railroad towns of Cairo and Ravenna lie just to the west of Grand Island. Both towns have interesting street names. Cairo streets are Egyptian and Middle Eastern names like Syria, Said, Nubia, and Alexandria. Ravenna's streets have an Italian flavor-Genoa, Sicily, Verone, and Milan.
