The cops like giving tours of the jail. You can get "an inside look" by dropping trou and running amok in the square.... might not be out by 7 though.

Seriously there is the civil war cemetery, couple of museums including gone with the wind, and various law offices and bail bonds - never hurts to make friends there...

Going Gear then go get some cold beer from Red Hare.

I thought everybody hated AO.

Good, big store to walk around and fondle potential weapons. Excellent knife selection(a lot are high priced though) but, again allows you the option to "try out" stuff. Shouldn't be busy when you go.

Yep, if you don't buy anything you don't have to deal with the idiotic gun sales process. The knife prices were decent the last time I was in, but they do carry some higher end stuff. Sometimes big pricetags give the impression of high prices.

Yeah the military museum on the square is really cool.

Okay so basically I can kill an hour or so being a cheapskate and all touch/feely in the AO? Well that's good for a start but it will probably just depress me given my current lack of income.

Aint it somewhere in Marietta where the guy shot Larry Flynt way back when?

I would not waste my time going to AO..It is quite a few miles from D&B's. Not the same area.

Go eat at Marietta Diner and go visit Glock down the road

If you're feeling a bit eccentric and would like to meet a local legend, not to mention a walking encyclopedia of civil war history, check out the Wildman's Civil War surplus store. Everyone should go here at least once. http://wildmans-shop.com/
Not far from D&B's.
