Marion - an Overview |
|
|
Marion is the business center as well as the county seat
of McDowell County. There is
a lot of shopping
— especially along US-70 north of Marion. Marion doesn't quite have the small town atmosphere that its size would suggest. Nor does one feel like it is a city. It is sort of a pleasant in-between. A recently built freeway skirts the western edge of town but, so far, it has not been the magnet for business centers that such highways usually are. Marion seems to be content with enjoying the compact-ness of a downtown area - something most towns now-a-days seem to lack. |
There is a lot of nice residential property to the east of
downtown (along US-70 East) and to the south between Marion and
I-40. While Marion is in the foothills, you do have some
excellent views of the mountains to the north and west. |
