Carbondale Bytelife

After years of sporting an metal (aluminum) wrap around its impressive girth, the building known as "Bening Square" is being stripped of its covering to reveal the brick and windows beneath. This isn't the best photo of the operation, but as it progresses, I'll upload better images.

The man behind this change, Dan Terry, owns the Newell House restaurant, including the entire building, as well as the buildings up the street (TIF district, btw) including Herald building, which he's converting into a venue for liquor, art, and intimate musical performances.

Word on the street is that the building will be painted after all the metallic covering has been removed. What color? Don't know.
