Makeover...in progress. Thanks to you, I
went from a small website in the mid nineties
to three websites busting at the seams now, in
2007.
To complicate matters, I learned about the Internet and
web-building on the fly
and managed to do everything wrong more than once.
The web and you are forgiving, Thank You. Now it is time to
pull the three sites apart and rebuild.
So forgive the mess.
Here's the plan for news: AtHomeCharlotte.com will relay the
good news
about Charlotte people and places.
I love this place and the heartbeat, so this will
be fun.
The RealEstateLady®.com
is bringing real estate news. Maybe locally, regionally and
nationally.
Whatever applies in my opinion. And you know I have one. We are a
small town with a global hat.
®
is of course all about Charlotte condos...and townhomes...
here you will find more personal commentary because condominiums,
after all ,are my specialty.
I have designed an abbreviation of the news
reports and will be adding those from this date forward.
As the rebuilding takes shape, articles from 2001 will be
archived and accessible.

The marble is from China, the architects from
Atlanta, the look from the 1920s. But the 46-story Hearst Tower, the
city's newest skyscraper, is pure Charlotte.
