North Carolina Draws More ‘Transplants’
Special Contribution Article
So, Hawaii and Florida may be known as ‘vacation’ states but, North Carolina is now the TOP ‘migration’ state! A recent study by United Van Lines revealed that in over 200,000 interstate moves, NC had the largest number of newcomers and the least number of residents leaving the state! Charlotte, The Queen City, and the largest city in North Carolina, has been extremely popular due to economic and job growth. In a recent interview, the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce VP of research, Tony Crumbley, stated that it is ‘fact that we are creating jobs and our quality of life’ are other draws to our beautiful city. The fact that our region enjoys a four-season year is also a big draw. Read the rest of this entry »
Charlotte in National Spotlight Again
More Good News Charlotte!
Today, Vice-President Dick Cheney made a visit to Charlotte NC and spoke before the Charlotte Chamber. As expected, Mr. Cheney did speak about how great President Bush has been for the country. That was no surprise by any means.
However, one of the items that excited me was the acknowledgment of Charlotte’s great economy. Mr. Cheney described Charlotte as “one of the most vibrant economies.”
Let me also thank Bob Morgan, Pat Riley, and the members and the staff of the Chamber this morning for arranging my visit. It’s a pleasure to be in Queen City, here in Charlotte. You’ve built one of the most vibrant and diverse local economies in America. In this community, enterprise is encouraged, and hard work is rewarded; optimism is the order of the day. You’re a model to others, and you’ve helped make North Carolina’s economy among the fastest growing in the country. I appreciate the chance to pay a visit this morning, and I bring good wishes to all of you from our President, George W. Bush.

I love this. With all the national news about how bad the world is, how horrible the economy is and the fear of a recession, Charlotte still stands out as one of the few bright stars! In an economy where home values have fallen across America, Charlotte’s real estate market is one of just a few metropolitan areas that has actually seen an increase in values and still remains strong!
Get excited my fellow Charlotteans! You are part of a great community, and even those at the White House (during an election year no less) are taking notice!

This morning I wrote the following post to Localism, and wanted to share with my visitors here.

I know what you are thinking…what a junk post. It isn’t even worth my time. However, NASCAR is the second most popular sport in the U.S. behind pro football. Plus if you’re looking for a family-friendly sport now that baseball is back on the hotseat, I would suggest you check out this incredible sport. Additionally, I can’t think of another sport that is more important to a city than NASCAR is to the Charlotte area. So, for this, here is NASCAR for dummies, my perspective.
