 7 Places To Celebrate Cinco de Mayo In Charlotte In Mexico, Cinco de Mayo is known as El Día de la Batalla de Puebla (The Day of the Battle of Puebla). This battle is re-enacted every year in Mexico City. And contrary to what many people think, Cinco de Mayo is not Mexican Independence Day.  Cinco de Mayo is not just a day to eat tacos – although you should definitely eat some today. Cinco de Mayo is a day to celebrate Mexicans’ cultural pride, courage, and resilience. In the USA Cinco de Mayo has also come to represent a celebration of the contributions made by Mexican Americans and all Hispanics to our country.  On the Border, located at 10710 Providence Road, is offering $5 house margaritas and $1 Gold Tequila meltdowns. Chuy's, located at 7314 Waverly Walk Avenue, is offering drink...

 Happy Mother's Day To All The Pet Moms As a pet mom myself, I couldn't let Mother's Day pass without also wishing a very Happy Mother's Day to all my fellow pet moms... there are so many of us and I know we love and share close bonds with our four-legged, furry children as much as we do with the two-legged ones.  I'm one of those people who believes that a house is not a home without a cat or a dog... and for me, preferably both a cat and a dog! At the end of the day, our pets are our family, too. Happy Mother's Day Pet Moms Everywhere! “In a perfect world, every dog would have a home and every home would have a dog.”   ...

"Why do prices on new construction homes keep going up?" "Are builders trying to line their pockets?" "I heard new builds keep getting delayed. Are the construction crews slacking?"We've seen a lot of frustration lately with new construction homes and believe us, we hear you and commiserate. You have likely heard prices of existing homes are going up due to low inventory, but while new construction is affected by fewer existing homes being on the market, high demand isn't the only thing affecting prices and build time for new homes. Here's what's going on with new construction homes.If you want to stay up-to-date on the Wilmington real estate market, subscribe to our YouTube Channel or follow our Facebook page to see all of our new videos as soon as they are posted.

Unsolicited home offers are a growing trend thanks to the low inventory of today's real estate market. These direct mailings come from investors and usually include a letter of intent and what they claim is a "fair" offer. While this can come off as very convenient to you, the homeowner, these offers are usually NOT in your best interest.
