@barkeep-1967 they are only selling an X amount of tickets to make sure it’s not over crowded.

The Mall parking lot in Carbondale. No one goes there anymore. Should be wide open.

I was told Monday 4-1, by a townee, that C’dale was going to be shut down on Monday 4-8 by the police.  The SIU website, as of 4-3 is still selling parking spaces on pavement and seats in Saluki Stadium.

I'm not sayin' -- I'm just sayin'!

Ya know, I've been thinking about this for a while now...

The track of the the '17 eclipse and the track of this eclipse makes a big X-marks-the-spot over Carbondale area. I'm thinking I should either spend the day at the Walker's Bluff casino to see if I get lucky -OR- pack up and get the hell outta town just to be safe.

Option B = Get the F out. You would think it is the end of the world around here. What the hell is wrong with people?
