I like living in Marion, Iowa because it feels like home. It is a place to create a lovely family and to become a business owner. If a person knows how to pick a region for their business, profit soar in this great place of Marion.

Family night is awesome in Marion, Iowa. I love music and I always found myself at the City Square to listen and jazz to free concerts in the summer. However, the fun doesn't stop after soaking up the flavor of the sun. The City Square specializes in concerts during the winter time also. There is lots of fun and music to experience while living or visiting Marion, Iowa.

I have children so education is everything to me. If anyone wants to move here try checking out the great schools from elementary to educational advancement levels. With so many to chose from, any parent would love the background in fundamentals that this great city has to bring.
