Okay, even though I’m a bit biased towards Rock Hill/Fort Mill SC, it’s still fantastic that Charlotte was just named the #1 place to live by Relocate-America.com.
The Charlotte housing market was cited as being reasons why the city was nominated thanks to a diversity of housing options and home affordability. The strong economy, boosted largely by the presence of Bank of America and Wachovia, was another selling point.
Now don’t get me wrong, Charlotte is a wonderful city and I’m sure glad it’s right next door. I’m just happy to live in Rock Hill/Fort Mill where we can enjoy all of the benefits of the ‘#1 place to live’ and still enjoy all the benefits of the great state of South Carolina!

With Thanksgiving just a few days away, the SC Highway Patrol issued a list of items you should have as you set out on the roads:
- First-aid kit
- Flashlight
- Blankets
- Drinking water and snacks
- Flares
- Jumper cables
- An ice scraper if there is snow where you plan to travel.
Also, they suggest saving restroom breaks for designated rest areas. However, if you much stop at a convenience store or gas station, be aware of your surroundings and know that theives could be watching and waiting for an opportunity to strike.
So, be safe this week and have a Happy Thanksgiving!

If you’ve paid any attention at all to the news, local or national, you’ve probably heard the story about Kyle Fleischmann, a 24 year old that hasn’t been seen since early morning Friday, November 9th. It’s been 10 days and there’s still no sign of Kyle.
If you haven’t heard the story, you can get caught up on ABC News.
Also, as you’ll see a Facebook group was set up to help in the search for Kyle. If you’re not familiar with Facebook, now’s the time to get aquainted!
A MySpace group was also setup for the same reason. Again, a good time to become acquainted with MySpace.
Finally, Kyle’s friend setup a website specifically to help with the search for Kyle and you can find all the latest news updates and donate to the cause. The website is www.helpfindkyle.com.

Here’s a bit of good news that should lift the spirits of anyone down in the duldroms about the tough real estate market we’re currently in.
Freightliner coming to York County
340 jobs moving to York County, newspaper says
CHRISTOPHER D. KIRKPATRICK

Freightliner LLC, the nation’s largest truck manufacturer, plans to move about 340 sales and marketing jobs to York County and develop a 300-acre campus that some have speculated could become the new headquarters, the Oregonian newspaper in Portland reported today.
The Portland, Ore., company has several manufacturing operations in North Carolina and earlier confirmed it was considering transferring some white collar jobs to be closer to those facilities.
A specific site has not been named.
The York County Council discussed a package of transportation-related tax incentives in a closed session today for an unnamed corporation, the Rock Hill Herald reported. It plans a vote in open session on Monday.
The Oregonian reported that elected officials in Portland had been told by Freightliner’s chief executive that the company was developing the campus. The company said it was not moving its headquarters, the paper reported.
So, what this means for us is a potential influx of people looking to buy real estate in the Fort Mill SC, Rock Hill SC, and Tega Cay SC areas. Granted, it’s not going to be a HUGE influx, but will certainly help keep real estate in this area alive and well!
