Eye on Carbondale

These dispatches attract more readers everyday, including former Carbondale Businessman of the Year (by my vote) Tom Egert,



the man who started the Longbranch Coffee House, Community radio station WDBX, and the Community Thrift Store.

Tom has launched a website for interactive commentaries involving activities of the city, university, housing, and business communities called Eye on Carbondale. Why don't you check it out, post a comment, and tell 'im Dispatchionate Dave sent you.

Before you do, though, take note that another Council Candidate has thrown his website into the ring: Dan David for City Council.

If you're from another planet (or another part of world), the Daily Egyptian can enlighten you on tonight's 12th Annual Lights Fantastic parade , which will begin at 6:30 p.m. and proceed down "The Strip," aka Illinois Ave. This will be the first parade with snow on the ground, adding the the fantastic(k)ness of the event.

Maybe you'll see me there, left coatsleeve dangling, camera in hand, looking something like this.



After the Lights Fantastic, many will be joining fellow "peace fanatics" at the Peace Coalition benefit at Gallery HQ.
