The Jewel of India drive through/walkup at the south end of Illinois is undergoing major renovations, involving earthmoving equipment. From what I have heard, the plan is to expand the restaurant towards the south, doubling its size with inside seating. They will eliminate the drive through, making it a proper sit down restaurant, then close the Jewel of India location two blocks north at the corner of College and Illinois.
I miss the Corner Diner. Now that Longbranch is a restaurant instead of a coffee shop, there's nowhere left in Carbondale that I know of just to sit and hang out and talk to folks you may or may not know.
