What is going on with the Arby's Rumor?
Arby's Update
It was just today that Arby's has said anything about the purchase of the land here in Marshall.  Before now the information we were getting was from local reports.  Arby's did tell us that they are working to acquire the building at 1422 East College Drive here in Marshall.  Local officials with ties to the property have strongly suggested that the property will be demolished if and when Arbys' finalizes the deal.   Arby's has said they will keep us posted with any changes or progress they make during the process of the sale.
   Are you thinking Arbys?

What are the plans for the old barn right near the High School?
I heard it was going to become a Sports Bar.
This Old Barn
No, it is not true.   The barn is under contract to be torn down soon.  We have heard many rumors around the barn from a Sports Bar an arts and crafts center or a teen center. The truth is the barn is owned by The Schwan Food Company and will be gone soon putting all the rumors surrounding it to rest.
