When in Marion at night:
- Keep the station in sight when in that area
- DO NOT go to Silver Street (that's bad enough during the day)

- Keep your cameras and cell phones ready in case another drunk guy gets nailed
- Don't get too drunk at the Shovel Restaurant
...But don't let this scare you away from this wonderful town. It really is a great place!
