"We moved here from the Northeast to retire to a milder climate. The weather is perfect. I am outside year-round. I love to garden. There is something blooming all winter. That took some getting used-to! But it's wonderful. We love being just close enough to the warm ocean and beachfront recreation at Myrtle Beach so it's an easy drive, and afterward, come home to the quiet charm of small-town living in this beautiful historical section of Marion. I can walk to the Post Office, the bank, the Library, restaurants, pharmacy, hardware store and a variety of gift, antiques and specialty shops just down the street in downtown Marion. And it's a lovely stroll under moss-draped shade trees, past historic buildings and several beautiful churches. City of Marion workers keep the town meticulously clean and several very active garden clubs keep Main Street plantings looking their best. There are a number of different annual community sponsored festivals, with family-oriented type fun. Something is scheduled nearly every month of the year. Some of the parades go right past our house, and the Classic Car Show extends practically to our doorstep. The Arts Council, Dance Studios, and churches bring us live theater shows, musical performances, heritage celebrations, dinners, and auctions. There is a saying in Marion - if you think there's nothing to do - You haven't been paying attention. Marion recently received a "fun city" designation for striving to provide as many quality recreational opportunities as possible for its youth. There are plenty of people here who work hard on a daily basis to make Marion better and better, yet it's one of South Carolina's best kept secrets ... folks call it "that pretty little town on the way to the beach." Sure, bad things happen here sometimes, but no place nowadays is immune. The majority of folks are friendly and easy to get to know. I think it's a wonderful place to call home."
