When I came home from work yesterday, I found that someone had stolen a Halloween pumpkin from in front of my house. A word of caution to anyone considering moving to Marmet: Don't. Marmet used to be a great small town to live in. Most of the residents have lived here for many years, and everyone seemed to know and respect one another. However, for the last several years, this town has been taken over by several undesirable factors: juveniles (who seem to have more than their fair share of rights) and druggies. Both elements are out all hours of the night disrupting the town, and the town either cannot or will not try to control them. Try to picture the car window shades that say, "Send help."
