Tall Tale in Myers Park Neighborhood - 03/19/10 01:12 PM
Myers Park may have some of the tallest and most beautiful structures in Charlotte –but if you ask the Myers Park Homeowner’s Association – they’d better be of the “natural” kind. TREES that is!
Charlotte’s Myers Park is venerated, beloved…treasured by all Charlotteans. It would be hard to argue there is a more beautiful cadre of tree-lined avenues in this city or for that matter any city in the southeast. That’s the good news…
The bad news is our beloved “forest” of old growth oaks is under siege first by canker worms and now by development. Homeowners Associations often take flack … (0 comments)

Where are your Eggs? - 03/19/10 12:58 PM

Honored to have another guest post from our friends at Karp Financial Services:
What Will Be Good In 2010? The first decade of the millennium has come to a close. Prices have begun a cautious climb out of the doldrums, unattractive interest rates have driven investors back into the fray, less government money is available, and unemployment and continuing difficulties in the retail sector are on the rise. The early signs are certainly confusing, due largely to the legacy of 2009 – a year that saw a number of high-profile oddities that cannot be relied upon as performance indicators.
So, what should … (0 comments)
