Italian Village in Carbondale Adapts to New Market Pressures
The Italian Village at 405 S. Washington Ave in Carbondale, known as LV's, marks 42 years in operation as R.E. Bridges plans changes to counter chain competition. He adds credit card sales, a self service drink system, chicken and all meat pizzas, remodels the loft for large groups, and considers graffiti containment while emphasizing the restaurant remains a family humble site and not for sale.
