Following up on my last post on tourism, we had easily half a dozen families stop in at the store that said they were staying in Carbondale and visiting the Shawnee region. We handing out Carbondale Main Streets new downtown dining and drinking book and pointed them in the way of attractions such as Boo Rochman (Castle), which given the nature of our clientele, they had either already visited or were very enthused to learn about about, Giant City State Park, alto Pass and Bald Knob and the assorted wine trails.
We did ask them were they were staying and, to a fault, no one said any of the local hotels. Every family had booked one of the local AirBnBs. Also, rather surprisingly, none of them said they were down for the wine trails.
