PK's Beer Garden
Is no more. The Hilton is building a parking lot on the north side of the building and the alleyway will once again be used for traffic. I assume the smokers will all migrate into the alley when needed, watching out for cars, or the front sidewalk.
Maybe so. But it is a shame may local and long-standing business have had to relocate due to the encroachment of this hotel. A Hilton in Carbondale makes as much sense as SIUC gaining Carnegie I status.
Carbondale's very own Hanoi Hilton does it again!
ReplyDeleteFrom what I understand, one of the problems with making it permanent was making the garden ADA compliant.
