Carbondale Main Street announced that the State has approved officially closing Illinois Avenue from the intersection of College all the way north to Elm street for a Homecoming concert. This will be quite a long closure with the three block stretch shutting down at 11 a.m. Friday morning and reopening at 2 a.m. Saturday morning, then I figure it will close down again later Saturday morning for the Homecoming parade.
Rather interesting that the first concert starts at 6 second concert starts at 8:30. I would think, if they are targeting college students, they would start later in the evening as that is when students would start coming out.
I believe the 6 o clock start time is intended for the older alumni who are in town. I think thats a good way to draw them downtown.
