Charlotte Market Strong according to CNN

August 1st, 2008 categories: Charlotte Real Estate & More

 Slow and Steady the Charlotte market has been claims Dot Munson, Charlotte Regional Realtor Assoc. president. We never had the big appreciation the rest of the country had so we are winning the race at the end. Attention investors, great time to flip homes in Charlotte. You can really get a great deal and if you buy carefully, you can still make money flipping in Charlotte. Seller’s, be patient because homes are still selling but it takes a few more months. I feel like the media makes it much worse than the market truely is. This is refreshing to have a positive story ran on the Market Trends of Charlotte.

92. Hart Witzen Gallery – Charlotte’s Hart Witzen is a privately owned, self sustaining arts venue supported through rental of the gallery and artist studios allowing Hart Witzen to function as an alternative space not dependent on government grants nor subject to the artistic opinions of others. Some of the most original artwork in the area can be seen here. Home to Rhonda’s husband Michael’s 2002 art exhibit Qui. A mutual appreciation for each others’ work, complimentary styles and a conversation about the color pink has led to emerging artists Dina Lowery and Michael Morgan Gibbons work simultaneously on two separate canvases switching the canvases periodically to work on each others painting. Completed paintings are unique exhibiting the style, inspiration and signatures of two artists. (here’s a sample)

91. NC Racing Auto Hall of Fame located in Mooresville NC, this Racing Hall of fame annually inducts new members and is available for touring year round.
90. Dale F. Halton Theater – At Central Piedmont Community College’s Dale F. Halton Theater, education meets entertainment. Catch theater, music and dance productions on a stage worthy of the world’s great artists. Charlotte has had more than its share of, strong, successful and influential women. Dale Halton is one of the icons — might call her the Queen of Pepsi here in Charlotte!
