Posted by: | Comments
This morning I had the opportunity to hear from one of the passengers who was on USAir Flight 1549 that crash landed in the Hudson River. He spoke about understanding why he thinks everyone survived and reminded us to think about the important things in life by being better husbands, sons, fathers, brothers and dads.

Posted by: | Comments
The Charlotte Chamber of Commerce has put together a series of maps that show estimated commute times from certain points in the metro area. This is a pretty cool tool for folks thinking of moving to Charlotte and are unfamiliar with commute times in different parts of the city. The times are only estimates, of course. Included in the report are occupations shared by residents in the various areas, thus allowing those who might be currently unemployed to use this information while searching for employment. The study focused on 15-30 minute drive times in 15 different areas of Charlotte.

Snow in Charlotte, North Carolina
Posted by: | Comments
The snow was falling early this morning
Yes it does snow in Charlotte! Proof is in the pictures I took this morning as the flakes were falling in Southeast Charlotte, cancelling school and causing many to stay home from work. Many who didn’t grow up in this area like to laugh at Southerners who appear to panic at the first flake and stay home as long as anything white remains on the ground Read More→
