If you go to Marathon, and decide to take the only road out of town heading south, you’ll first cross the railroad tracks. Then another block or so down, on the left, you’ll see the Marathon Gargoyles. Or whatever these things are. (See the half-moon hanging in the sky between them?)

Check out this shadow! It doesn’t help understand what in the world is going on with this little building, but it IS amusing.

I guess the sign on the door sums it up best:

WTF, indeed.
