Cross Town post

Although this blog focusses exclusively on the old Town Square area of Carbondale, one of The Square's most successful restauranteurs, Dan Terry, owner of the popular Newell House on the corner of Main and Washington Streets, has taken on a new challenge: refurbishing and transforming the long empty Rally hamburger stand (at the corner of Mill and Illinois, adjacent to Friendship Park) into a drive-through coffee shop, called "Sambucca Joe's" featuring gourmet coffee and sandwiches.

'Abandoned buildings are not a benefit to anyone,' Terry told Nicole Sack in The Southern. 'I think The Strip can comeback to life without necessarily being what it was before.'

He hopes to be open for business by May 1.
