charlote homes for sale: Gift Shops in Charlotte NC
- 11/27/08 02:56 PM
My last post was about traditional malls. But, there are some non traditional places in Charlotte, NC that really make it unique. One of them is called Paper Skyscraper on East Boulevard. It's a hip, urban store, stuck right in the middle of one of the trendiest sections of town. It's located in Dilworth, but it's just a skip and a jump from Myers Park. It's a goofy gift shop with a ton of off the wall gear. The only other place I've seen anything like it is in the Village in New York City. They recently expanded their store, and … (0 comments)

charlote homes for sale: Carolina Panthers Take on Rival Falcons Sunday
- 11/22/08 03:30 PM
The Carolina Panthers are coming off a win at home last week against the Detroit Lions. I was a little scared in the first half. The Panthers let in two early touchdowns against the Lions, which they shouldn't have. That game was entirely too close. This week the Panthers are up against the Falcons. Mind you, Atlanta used to be a formidable opponent. Michael Vick used to beat the Panthers up and down the field. Lucky for animals everywhere, including the panthers, Vick isn't currently playing football. That doesn't mean it's an easy game. In the NFL, everyone is good. … (1 comments)

However, the analysis was cut short as the freshman is out for the season … (0 comments)
charlote homes for sale: Concerts in Charlotte NC
- 11/22/08 03:02 PM
Here's an example of big name acts that come through Charlotte NC and make owning Charlotte NC real estate so worthwhile. Reba and Kelly Clarkson are touring and stopped by Time Warner Cable Arena. If this isn't a big name concert I don't know what is. Reba has been entertaining audiences for a long time in a lot of different ways. She started as a singer, got her own sitcom and she's back to being a singer. But, I don't think there's any doubt she put on a great show. Kelly Clarkson is about as big as it gets right … (0 comments)

- 11/18/08 02:53 PM
Many cities are getting serious about their public transportation offerings. After some failed ideas, Charlotte NC is changing their approach. Amenities like light rail and I-485 make Charlotte North Carolina Real Estate more livable. Light rail is starting to settle in as a major part of the city's transportation infastructure. People were using it more as gas prices went sky high last summer and in the wake of the fall hurricane in Texas.

charlote homes for sale: Carolina Panthers Win in Charlotte NC on Sunday
- 11/18/08 02:39 PM
In a not-so-surprising game on Sunday, the Carolina Panthers beat the Detroit Lions in Charlotte NC. The Panthers are 8-2 while the Lions are stuck at 0-10. However, the game wasn't as clear cut as it seems. Detroit came out swinging and scored two touchdowns early. I was actually scared for a few mintues. I also forgot that Daunte Culpepper, the Lion's quarterback is a huge guy, that isn't easily tackled. The program said he weighs 260, but he could weigh more. Despite the cold weather, the stadium was far from empty. It's even more surprising that the stadium … (0 comments)

- 11/15/08 01:37 PM
Professional football is a great reason to get excited about Charlotte NC Real Estate. The Carolina Panthers were an expansion team in the NFC South and took a while to get their footing. They entered the NFL with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Coming off a win in Oakland where the Panthers beat the Raiders 17-6, the Panthers look forward to playing the Detroit Lions at home. I may be biased, since I live in Charlotte NC, but Detroit isn't playing well. Ok, there's no room for bias when Detroit hasn't won a game all season. It really isn't their best year, … (0 comments)
