Marion is a small but growing town just outside of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. It seems that multiple times a month there are activities like art fairs and parades happening uptown, seemingly always without issue due to safety measures. The town offers two school districts of which are both quite diverse. There is a wide variety of jobs available whether it be for a teen searching for their first job or a person in search of their professional workplace. Marion is definitely more on the quiet side but this does not change the neat features of the town like city parks or the Marion Public Library. There is something for everyone if they search for it.
Marion has been my home for 20 years and I love it! It's such a nice place to raise a family while also being close to the larger cities as needed. The schools are amazing and there are lots of opportunities for work and entertainment.
What I like about Marion is the size. Marion isn't too small or too big. You know a lot of people, but there's also a good chance you'll meet someone new every day. Everyone is Marion is very kind and friendly as well. Some things that could be changed in Marion is the businesses. I think that Marion doesn't have enough big businesses. Whether it's a new restaurant to eat at or a new building to work at, Marion could use some new businesses in the town.
