Charlotte is all that and a bag of chips!
No longer that confused “CH” city or Atlanta’s read haired stepchild, Charlotte has arrived! The US census (yeah the big one) reports that Charlotte was the fastest growing metropolitan area by far up 64.6% since 2000…the wonderfully weird (we love) Austin TX came in a distant second at 51% – take that TEXAS!
The Charlotte Observer reports …
- No urban area with 1 million or more people grew faster in the century’s first decade than the Charlotte urban area, new U.S. Census Bureau data show. Charlotte’s urban area grew 64.6 percent, to 1.25 million people, from 2000 to 2010.

Pinterest | What’s it all about Alfie?
So just what is this Pinterest thing all about…Alfie?
We love Pinterest so we co-opted the What’s it all about Alfie lyrics to describe Pinterest – for fun we found the movie version of the awesome Bacharach /David classic below!

What’s it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?
(its about setting up unique boards to sort the things you love)

From Chevy Chase Vacation to Ozzie and Harriet | A Fort Mill SC Homestory

Reading Joyce Dolley’s story about relocating to Charlotte and having to live in a hotel with a husband, three kids (OK that’s four kids!) and a big dog reminded me at first of a Chevy Chase Vacation movie…but then as I read about her neighbors in Fort Mill’s Dominion Bridge community…

Google alone has over 34,000 searches a second, A SECOND. The internet noise is so loud it’s deafening.
Even the most cutting edge real estate agents are struggling to keep up with what’s next…Pinterest, Google +, Facebook
” users spend an average of 1 hour 17 minutes on Pinterest well ahead of Twitter (36 minutes), LinkedIn (17 minutes) and Google+ (6 minutes)….Pinterest gets more monthly usage than all of these other platforms combined.” (see fascinating usage graphs below)
