I LOVE NC

Living in North Carolina

Raleigh voted one of the best places to live and work!
Winston Salem listed as top ten places to start your life over!
Have you been laid off? Start your own business! Small businesses generate the most jobs in the US and they are often the first to the market with needed products and services.
Global recession brings relief at the pumps for now; although Summer appears to be bringing a bit of an increase
Has your housing bubble popped? ....Home prices may be off record high levels and inventory sits longer, but if you are in the market; one thing is for sure-it's competitive.
12% of American home owners are at least one month late on their mortgage! Yikes, not good folks.
Now may be yet another great time to re-finance or purchase a home. Inventories are high, home prices appear to have stabilized and it has spurred a little bit of a buying frenzy in December according to economic stats. It certainly seems to be a Buyer's Market. $8000 tax credit for 1st time home buyers.
The Greatest Depression averted?? Possibly, just don't ask me about my 401k. It's a 200.5k now. Federal Reserve, Treasury Secretary, Congress and American Taxpayers come to the rescue of our stricken financial system. Not!! In crunch, this is why bi-partisan leadership doesn't work.

Traveling in North Carolina

Blue Ridge Parkway turned 72 years old on 9/11/07!! Cruise it and see why it's America's Favorite Drive. Just be prepared for a couple closures along the way!
NC is known as the Land of Waterfalls and is home to over 500 different cascades. Visit our Top NC Falls, and see if you'll be near one! Always be careful when climbing and hiking around waterfalls. Many people have been injured or even killed when hiking carelessly. Always wear appropriate footwear and bring along a first-aid kit. Never attempt to cross a river or stream above a waterfall; one slip may be your last. Other than the simple legal disclaimer, enjoy a hiking adventure TODAY!!
Welcome www.grandfathermountain.com as North Carolina's newest State Park. Thanks to the Morton family and their goal to preserve the Ecosystem for future generations.

Whether it's the beach or the mountains, NC has something for you. Help support your local tourist industry, Just get up and Go!! Visit one of America's best beaches: Ocracoke; as voted every other year by Dr. Beach!
Tour the Outer Banks and support our coastal communities---Did you vote to restore Bodie Island Lighthouse. One of America's aging icons will win a free restoration courtesy of Jeld-Wen windows and doors. Although they didn't win the competition, Bodie Island Lighthouse will be the beneficiary of Pres. Obama's Infrastructure Redevelopment Program and will receive some public funds. Amen, to that!

Working in North Carolina

Unemployment at record levels in NC! Yikes! It won't be long now, 6 more months or so. I sure am glad I had money saved and equity in my home. I feel sorry for others, though..
