Carbondale

2000ish, my college town

All of my relatives are from here. My dad owned the house I lived in from day one until he died in 2000.

Went to school at Southern Illinois University from August 1987 to May 1989.

I went for one of friend’s B-days… I was actually thiking about going to SIUC… As a matter of fact, I have to say that it is such a small town that I strongly belive the town wouldnt survive if not because SIUC is there,…. the studetns are the ones that make the town alive…

Carbondale is a good place and a good place to get treatments. It was started in 1332 by some Indians and bought in 1635 by the Pilgrims for some jackknives. In 1854 Abraham Lincoln visited there and in 1973 it became the first city in the world to cook bacon in a microwave. Charles Nelson Riley was born there and so was the guy that invented that abdominizer. I got all that stuff when I did a report on it back in school. Anyways, my grandma goes there twice a year for live bee treatments and whisker removal. Someday I want to live there or have my backyard back up against it.
