When Don Taco moved down the street to its new location at 780 E. Grand Ave., it brought new color and vibrancy to the area's streetscape. The Keep Carbondale Beautiful Board gave the business this month's Bright Spot award.
In addition to the color, nominators also commented on the beautiful stonework, starting at the base of the sign, on walls, and continued indoors to great effect. Manager Victor Paneda said the idea was to be welcoming and inviting. That's also the case with the bike rack, located right by the front door.
The Keep Carbondale Beautiful Board selects businesses or residences to receive the Bright Spot Award for enhancing the beauty of the community by means of revitalization of property, new construction, plantings and beautification, upkeep and maintenance, or rehabilitation.
To nominate a business or residence to receive the Award, call the Keep Carbondale Beautiful office at 618-525-5525 or email BrightSpotAward@gmail.com.
