The list nobody Instagrams. Where to grocery-shop on a Saturday afternoon. Which gas station's open at 11. Where the pharmacy is at six on a Sunday. The closest urgent care if the kid hits the dock the wrong way.
We list the boring stuff so the vacation works.
A full-service grocery store on Highway 70 West in Marion, the McDowell County seat — the main provisioning stop for the lake's Nebo-side marinas.
A 24-hour emergency room on Rankin Drive in Marion — McDowell County's community hospital, the closest hospital-level ER to Lake James.
