charlotte homes for sale: Creative loafing is charlotte's free paper - 03/14/09 04:55 PM
Charlotte NC has a ton of different things to do and different people with different interests.
Creative Loafing is the free paper that serves the community. The idea is to create a publication that serves readers who don't necessarily care about the stuff that goes on at the city council meetings. 
The paper is aimed at younger people who go out to bars and art shows. The paper doesn't mind being edgy and doesn't censor much. They print curse words and go after subjects that would never make it in the Charlotte Observer, the daily paper.
I'm not endorsing it. But … (6 comments)

charlotte homes for sale: Charlotte and Mecklenburg work together - 03/14/09 04:50 PM
Since Charlotte NC has experience such amazing growth in the past 20 years, the city has expanded to the size of the county almost. There are several towns outside of Charlotte, but inside of Mecklenburg county. Many departments of city and county government have merged to provide better services to these communities and the county as a whole.
The Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department is one of the department. I really don't know all the ins and outs of the policing in Charlotte. But there are Mecklenburg county Sheriffs. I have no idea what they do though. If the city and county … (0 comments)

charlotte homes for sale: Bear Market Means Opportunity in Real Estate - 10/23/08 07:04 AM
In any downturn, including the Charlotte real estate market, it's important to consider your options carefully.  When gas prices spiked six months ago, many people reacted by selling their large cars for a loss to buy smaller cars.  However, they lost more money selling their car for a loss than they gained by buying a more efficient car.  If you have the itch to sell your house in the Charlotte area for a loss without reinvesting in the real estate market, read on, you might be surprised. Acting too hastily could result in a bigger loss than you anticipated if you … (0 comments)

Fall is here!  My favorite time of the year.  The air is crisp, the leaves are in all their glory and if you live in Charlotte there are festivals galore.
I have to give a shout out to one of my favorite places to visit in the fall - Riverbend Farms.

charlotte homes for sale: Charlotte's Eastover Neighborhood Offers a Taste of England - 09/23/08 10:04 AM
I had the pleasure of taking advantage of the fantastic weather yesterday here in Charlotte while dining outside at Eastover's Big Ben Restaurant. Big Ben is a traditional British restaurant and pub, with many different English beers on the menu as well as fish and chips (beer battered fish and fries), bangers (sausage), wallys (pickles), and scotch eggs (a boiled egg wrapped in some sort of meat, if memory serves). There are many other items on the menu that are less adventurous, but still delicious. The wait staff is friendly and the prices are reasonable. The best part, besides the pints, is … (1 comments)

I mean, don't get me wrong AT ALL, I'm all for as many points as I can get, I'm just curious is all. Maybe I should just stop looking this gift horse in the teeth, hmmm......

charlotte homes for sale: Rain, rain, go away.... - 09/04/08 01:38 AM
A large portion of the southeast has been seeing some crazy weather here lately. My thoughts and prayers go out to those who have been affected, everyone who's been evacuated and displaced, anyone who's home has been damaged or destroyed, and anyone who's just having a hard time in general because of the hurricanes and storms. We're expecting severe thunderstorms here in Charlotte today and tonight, which pales in comparison to what others have had to deal with, but hopefully things aren't as bad as expected. Everyone be safe, smart, and try to stay dry.
