Have we heard if Booby's is going to be open for the football season at all? Homecoming?
I do believe they have a Facebook page. You may be able to find out more information there. If opened for HC, they should make a very nice penny or two. Hoping they are!
Hearing that the steel has been shipped, and is enroute to Carbondale for Multi-Modal Center. Foundation walls are near completion. Progress should be very noticeable for Homecoming weekend.

Not likely.

FYI: SIU is one of only 10 universities in the US to have an Outdoor Education campus.

I must say that I am truly disappointed. Was hoping for a Mc Bride special HC weekend. Hopefully it still happens.

Very excited about this latest endeavor. Very cool!

It's needed. They hold various conferences out there, such as creative writing. I believe the director said the new mountain bike trails are expected to draw 20,000 visitors a year, and they need facilities. 12 miles of trails are now open.

Thank you for sharing the link. Perhaps I missed it, but is there transportation available for students, and is there bike rental?
Seriously doubt it. The rec center does not rent mountain bikes.
While in Cdale for HC Weekend, I walked by the Multi-Modal construction site, after a slice of pizza from Pags. It appeared that wire meshing had been installed, and that the concrete pour was indeed approaching. This project is going to add so much to the downtown area. New music stage across the street will also enhance that particular area.
Assuming all concrete has been poured at the SIMMS site? Has anyone noticed this driving by that location? Steel structure should be starting very soon I would imagine.
Work ongoing on the Bucky Fuller visitor center across the street from the blue Bucky dome on Forest Ave. Foundation has been poured. They razed a little house on the other corner and made a parking lot out of it.
Looks like Papa Johns is coming back to the same East Grand Location in C'dale. They are actually mailing out coupons but I think the joint is not open yet.
New pizza place on East Main in C'Dale - Newby's. Local owner.
The new drive thru Burger King by Schnucks on west 13 in C'dale is now open.
Large onion rings 1.70 with the app! Onions are healthy right? And two Whopper Jrs. for $5 against the doctor's orders.
New Mexican restaurant in Murph on N. 14th by the old grade school. El Jalisco Think it's a chain - there's one in Herrin too.
A new (I presume) restaurant is up on Muddy Monster Drive north of the new Macs in Murph - next to the Holiday Inn Suites. Shape looks familiar - not sure what it is. Maybe a Dominos?
Also, the worst eyesore on Walnut in Murph (rt 13) - that ancient building and empty lot across from the courthouse - may be on it's way out. Some construction has started on that empty lot. Hope it's not a circus tent like the transportation center on 13.

Foundation and footings are all poured - bunch of pipes sticking up, etc.
Looks to be a good sized building.

Just as shocked by hearing/seeing Papa John's being resurrected - was seeing Wendy's closed and looking like a stripped car up on blocks in East St. Louis.
