Friendship Plaza

The City of Carbondale recently unveiled its new sculpture, shown here (picture by Dave More), at the busiest intersection in town, Mill Street and South University Avenue. The statue commemorates international friendship and global awareness, and will have special plaques for each of our sister cities, Nakajo, Japan, Shimla, India, and Tainan City, Taiwan.

I'm proud to live in a city that puts its international awareness right up front!
