[edit] Rail center

The line connecting Cleveland and Indianapolis is a CSX line; I know this, because the same line passes through my hometown of Bellefontaine. However, I also seem to remember a Conrail yard still operating in Marion, so I didn't replace Conrail with CSX... despite my belief that Conrail no longer operates a mainline running out of Marion. I leave it to one more familiar with railroading in Marion to correct to proper syntax. -- SwissCelt 13:37, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Huey Lewis

Lewis himself makes the claim that he lived in Marion for a time. The following article, from a concert appearance in 1999, cites this: http://www.hln.org/articles/032.shtml -- SwissCelt 04:03, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rod Serling

Didn't Rod Serling live in Marion? I seem to remember that he worked at WMRN for a while.

[edit] Norman M Thomas

Under History, the 4th paragraph states that Norman Matoon Thomas was a co-founder of the ACLU. But if you follow the link for ACLU, the Wikipedia article on the ACLU, makes no mention of him. In fact it states that Crystal Eastman and Roger Baldwin are co-founders in 1920. So this appears to be in conflict with the ACLU article. Multitask 22:06, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hockey arena

Does anyone know which hockey arena that the Marion Barons would have played in during 1953-54? Flibirigit (talk) 12:02, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm guessing it would be the Veterans Memorial Coliseum (Marion)? Flibirigit (talk) 12:09, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Education

Should Marion Catholic Jr/Sr High School be included? J0lt C0la (talk) 03:18, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
