The Island renovates its building

In November of 2023, a car crashed into the Island, a business at 715 South University Drive in Carbondale, Illinois.  Since then, the renovators of the Island have been hard at work getting the establishment ready for its new look.  The Island plans to be home to several health and wellness services such as hot yoga and salt therapy, as well as being the home of the Y’all Rock Carbondale band. 

As of Wednesday February 14, 2024, the building for the Island is currently under construction in Carbondale, Illinois.
