Review of Carbondale, Illinois
The Place Never Changes

I went to college at SIU in the 1970's with all the long haired hippies with liberal values, streaking, and Vietnam vets. The place never changed and the old timers never left. It is scary!

It isn't scary, for Heaven's sakes, and it has changed even between 1991, when I moved there, and now. There are a lot of very liberal people and even old hippies, if you find that scary.
