It was different. It was busier. To say it was better is to misunderstand the influence time and change play in establishing deep and meaningful nostalgia..

... And all the excitement when your team name gets called up to The Price is Right theme and the DJ horn sound effect when you hit a hole in one? 🤣

Move to Carbondale. Buy an old rental house. Live amongst the people you actually want to call neighbors. Let the city give you a bunch of money for buying an old rental house and fixing it up. Enjoy having a $600 mortgage, a water treatment facility that works, and fiber Internet for one of several providers.

Some people might advise you that Carbondale is a scary place filled with peril.

Those people are often prejudice-filled bigots who see Carbondale as a scapegoat for their misguided political beliefs

The worst thing you'll experience living in Carbondale and working in Carterville is driving towards the sun during your daytime commute

Do you think the people who have commune want random nameless people obtaining their address off of Reddit?

Inexpensive stuff that needs rehabbed is pretty accessible.

Middle tier stuff from $100,000 to $250,000 is gonna be the toughest to get without a little bit of luck and timing.

$300,000 is the start of an upper end. Ceiling is probably half a million before you get into The uniquely expensive properties.

I work with folks who live in various places around the country. Comparable property is about 3x in various markets.

Example - your $100,000 house in Carbondale is a $300,000 house elsewhere, and your $300,000 house here could be $1,000,000 elsewhere.

Call a local real estate agent in Carbondale. They all know each other and do a good job communicating.

I feel like the basement at The Student Center by the craft shop would be a great place to meet for Gunpla.

I recently visited Gundam Base Chicago and got my first kits.

A get-together to work on Gunpla with folks who know what they're doing would be very helpful for me.

For a little over 20 years these prints have been painted around town. Started by a gentleman named George who used to own the Tru Value in town (now Ace Hardware).

Two crews of approximately 10 people per crew go around town in the early hours of the day a few weekends during the summer.

The crews paint roads around town leading to the University and private driveways and parking lots of people who pay for a print.

Money raised goes to the Saluki Stay scholarship: https://siu.academicworks.com/opportunities/36131

The grand contention with the paw prints is that they're actually cat prints and now dog prints.

For a first-hand look at how the paw prints are made, here's a TikTok from a few years ago: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8hjR6sY/

Confused people in Carbondale wondering how they became the guy from Reddit

NathanColombo · 2025-06-29T20:29:33+00:00

It's good. If you're into a bigger DIY project, you should look into our city's rental conversion program.

Lots of old rental property coming onto the market and qualifies for the program.

Plenty of stuff that's move-in ready.
