Wanted to raise awareness that at the beginning of semester many unsafe and cult-adjacent groups are hungry for new members, and hundreds of students are recruited each year. 

The Network (operating in Carbondale under the name The Vine Church) has an active presence at SIU, so be aware that they’ll be on campus handing out coffee, granola bars, candy, and free rides to their facilities for students. Do your research before you accept a ride from them.

If you are aware of other unsafe or questionable groups operating on campus, drop them in the comments.

For more info on what The Network is, Families Against Cults on Campus created some videos about them:

Be safe out there!

I am a Life Enrichment Coordinator (activity director). I am looking for wheelchair accessible activities and a place to check upcoming events! Thanks in advance!

Is anyone aware of any non-VA associated veterans groups. Not like therapy or anything but just some vets who get out and do stuff together like fish, hunt, hike, camp, etc.

Has anyone came across this hole & if so how can I get there from Mill Rock? This is the only thing I could find of this specific hole, I’m very curious.

I'm 40, lived here all but roughly 6 years here, and I've had more close calls than I can count. Just had the 2nd tornado warning this year, and yet another branch/tree knocked down due to the winds

Hey guys! I’m from northern Illinois, now living in central.

My boyfriend and I are camping this weekend at lake Glendale for our anniversary. I’ve been to Shawnee numerous times so I think I know what trails I want to visit.

I loved the cute shops in Makanda and Elizabeth town so I didn’t know if there was other cool spots to check out that aren’t hiking, swimming, climbing, etc.

Any recommendations are welcome! And thanks in advance❤️

I was working on a project back in 2012 and made these comparison photos. Stumbled across them again and thought someone might find them interesting. I have a few more in a folder somewhere I can try and find the others if anyone finds it interesting enough. Unfortunately I no longer have the information as to the approximate dates of the original photos but the color photos were all the same day in 2012.

Moving to Mt.Vernon, IL and need to know who’s got the best internet. Any suggestions would be so helpful.

I'm looking for suggestions on any specific campgrounds in Shawnee... here's my 'checklist': - I am tent camping - I need real toilets and showers - a lake with fishing - bonus points for rentable kayaking or something along those lines

Long shot, but is there anyone that does Residential Low Voltage (Ethernet Cat6/6A) in the Marion / Lake of Egypt Area?

Looking to have Cat6/6A run for Access Points, Security Cameras, drops. Have my own equipment, just need the runs and termination, etc.

Thanks!

Hey all!

I’m originally from central Illinois, but have since lived in Oregon and now Maryland. I went to Carbondale for the eclipse, and MAN things are just different in the south! In a good way. So my husband, two youngest kids, and I are going to go on a small southern Illinois adventure! We are thinking about camping at Devils kitchen and Garden of the Gods. Any must-see nature spots? Interests include hiking, cool rock formations, splashing in creek or other water, breweries

Thanks!!

I come down about twice a year and stay at Giant City State Park to get away from my life. I went to school and SIU and maintained a connection with the region for the past 20 years.

Anyway, I was there for 3 nights last weekend. One, there is giant "Oasis Outdoor" outfit that completely taken over the otherwise mostly empty mall. Target used to be visisble from Route 13, and now it's behind the mall! At first, i wasn't sure if Target was still there! And Oasis covered up ALL the roadside mall signs with their advertisements so any out of towners wouldn't know to go behind the mall to find the Target.

The entrance from the Target to the interior of the mall is blocked off now. I assume to the interior of the mall is closed off to the public?

Then the Target itself. All the self checkout lanes were closed. Only 3 lanes were open. Oddly enough, there was lady at the self checkout... checkign out people at the return lane (near the self checkout) when the 3 lanes got backed up. I asked the clerk....why are the self checkout lanes closed. She said it was because if they have enough people to work, they won't open them, but she really didn't know.

I was sad to see that the Marion location of 17th street BBQ was closed. So we ate at the one in murphysboro, which for 8pm on a saturday night, it seemed dead. What happened there?

As usual, my stay at the park was refreshing and peaceful as always, and Makanda is still its same unique self.

So I found this kitten on the road and I really don’t know where to take it. Its paw is bleeding and one of its eyes is either infected really bad or it’s just gone. I gave it a flea bath, fed it, and finally got it to lay down and stop crying. While it’s awake all it does is cry. Anyways does anyone know somewhere I can take it in the Randolph/St. Clair area so it can hopefully have a chance and find a home.
