a start

'''Alton''', [[Illinois]], is a river town in Southern Illinois, about 30 miles north of [[St. Louis]]. Alton was the birthplace of [[Miles Davis]], one of the greatest [[jazz]] musicians ever. Robert Wadlow, the tallest man in recorded history, was raised and died in Alton.

Once overwhelmingly [[Democratic]], Alton and neighboring communities have slowly shifted to be more supportive of [[Trump]] [[Republicans]]. Alton features a private high school, Marquette, which is a magnet for families on both sides of the adjacent [[Mississippi River]].

Catfish is a local specialty as caught in the river. Flooding of the river each year can be a spectacle, as in 1993 when records were set and the levee nearly breached.
