After checking out the beautiful sunset in nearby Mars Hill, Apollo had plenty left in the tank to spend a couple hours in The City that Sleeps. Marshall is the county seat of Madison County, and is quite the awesome little mountain town! An Apollo Guidebook definitely needs to be in the works for Marshall.
Apollo needed cash, but the credit union in Marshall was closed.
Luckily, Apollo found this Cashpoints Automatic Teller Machine Machine.
Apollo spent an hour clowning in the ATM Machine Machine video surveillance camera. They should enjoy that tape.
Oh yeah, Apollo is really digging Downtown Marshall.
A couple of people walked by Apollo in Marshall, but they just nodded and walked just a bit faster on their way past.
Apollo thought the blue lighting at the top of the Madison County Court House was really awesome.
Apollo crossed the French Broad River and came upon this old, thing.
Apollo gets jacked up when he finds cool towns like Marshall. This is the view looking across the French Broad River toward downtown.
What an odd town. It's so quiet at night from lack of activity, yet the rumbling from the river is both soothing and eerie at the same time.
The French Broad River through Marshall is quite surprisingly wide.
Apollo felt like a real bad ass like this and insisted on this photo opp.
The blue-topped Madison County Court House across the river.
Downtown Marshall seems like a really safe and quiet place to be after hours.
Apollo loves Marshall, NC.
Just when Apollo thought nobody would talk to him, he met a super cool lady that was happy to tell Apollo the history of the Bacchus Bistro.
Apollo can't wait to hit up Bacchus when they're open. From our research, no restaurant around holds a candle to Bacchus.
Apollo can't wait to visit Marshall again, maybe when it's light out...
Apollo had a fantastic time in Downtown Marshall. Nobody hassled him and the police were kind and waved hello.
Apollo thanks the town of Marshall for existing so he could come take pictures. He'd also like to thank his sponsors, he just, he just had a hell of a race. It was a hell of a race.
I wish I had known Apollo was visiting. I would have thrown a party.
Next time you are through, Apollo, visit us down at the French Broad Institute (but check this site for when we will be hosting our events)
