The Charlotte area is not that big so you can get to just about anywhere in 45 minutes or less. Where you work is a prime factor in chosing a location to live.

Troutman History In 1853, Mrs. Anne Troutman, a widow, moved with her family to a point in the forks of the Charlotte Road and the Perth Church Road and with her two sons, Jacob and Sidney. They built a home which no longer stands. The place had previously been known as Hickory Crossing. Here her sons built a shop and began making wagons and carriages. In the late 1850´s, when the railroad was being built from Charlotte to Statesville, a construction camp was established nearby by the railroad and the place became known to railroad people as "Troutman´s". Later it was to be Troutman. The railroad actually put Troutman on the map in addition to giving it a name. A depot was built at Troutman when the railroad was completed into Statesville and the mixed trains stopped here for passengers and to load and unload freight.

Happy 4th of July to all from Lake Norman North Carolina!

Every year we have a truly small town Americana Independence Day Parade in Iredell County. I took the picture above and those below while riding on the Mooresville/Lake Norman Exchange Club's float. What an amazing 3-mile ride:

At the front of the parade are the floats carrying our veterans from all of wars. This parade is truly all about them!

The three-mile route is lined with folks, no matter how hot it is!

These folks were selling watermelon and have a hand-written sign that reads: "We are proud of you!"

Those lucky enough to live along the parade route shared their shade with all who wanted to join them!

We all shared the same thing, we are proud of our military and veterans and wanted them all to know it!
