Suspicions arise after Drexel Heritage in Morganton, NC went up in flames early Friday morning. Buildings #3 and #5 of the Morganton, NC plant are still smoldering this Monday morning while investigators are trying to get in to the buildings to determine the cause of fire.
The Drexel Heritage plant in Morganton, NC holds family ties for me, my grandfather retired from there after working there for over 30 years. My grandfather was in World War 2 and after returning married my grandmother moved to Morganton, NC went to work at the Drexel Heitage Plant. He will soon be 90 years old and still lives in Morganton, NC so I am sure this brings great sorrow to him to see such an Historic Structure burn to the ground. Drexel Heritage Plant is as much a part of Morganton, NC as the Deaf School, Broughton, and WNC(no longer named that).
Drexel Heritage plants #3 and #5 in Morganton, NC you will be missed!

A big mistake whether buying through an agent or buying a "For Sale By Owner" is not performing a title search! As an agent in Hickory, NC I have experienced first hand the effects of someone buying a home from a family member and trusting the family member only to try to sell the home some years later and finding out there is a judgement on the home and it can not be sold. Whether buying in Hickory, NC, Morganton, NC, or whereever you buy a home, please hire an attorney to perform a title search and make sure the title is free and clear of any liens or judgements. All of us want to believe people are fair and honest but the truth is they are not and that includes family. The money you will spend on assuring your new home is marketable will be worth the effort it took to hire an attorney. Blogging from Hickory, NC to raise awarness to future and present homeowners, also to warn you not only check that the titile is free and clear but to purchase title insurance to go one step future to protect the purchase of your new home. Tiltle insurance will protect you the homebuyer incase the attorney makes an oversight and does not catch that there is a lien or judgement against the title.
So bottom line is if buying a home in Hickory, NC or wherever go to all extremes possible to make sure that there are no leins or judgements on the property.
For those of you who are new to the the Catawba County area or those of you who have never participated in Soldiers Reunion week activities, head to Newton, NC on Sunday! Every year since 1889 Newton, NC has hosted a Soldiers reunion week, this coming week will mark the 120th year anniversary for Newton, NC to host this event! The event kicks off Sunday with a Old timey car show and parade! There is usually several food venders as well as stuff for the kids and a band on the courthouse lawn!
Tuesday is beach music night with live music and lot's of shagg'in.
Wednesday is one of my favorite's in Downtown Newton, NC of all Soldiers reunion activities, it is the baby parade where parents decorate stroller's, wagons or whatever rolls and march thier youngster's around the courthouse square. I have participated in this event several times over the years but now fear my children are to old for the baby parade! Wednesday in Downtown Newton, NC also boast a pet parade following the baby parade!
Thursday is the Big Parade right in downtown Newton, NC get there early to get a good seat and hope to see you there!

So I spoke with my mom tonight who lives up Hwy 181 in Morganton, NC and she stated that they really have not had that much in the way of rain. This was interesting to me in that we have! It is weird that we here in Hickory , NC would have downpours of rain but in Morganton, NC that would get very little rain fall! The older generations believe that the Rain does not cross the Catawba River in Morganton, NC? Is this true do we get Rain when Most of Morganton, NC does not? Could it be possible that while a rain fall may occur in the downtown Morganton, NC area it does not occur in the northern point of Morganton, NC? If this is true then what within the Catawba River in Morganton, NC would stop the rain fall from traveling into Hickory? Does it curve and go into Lenior? Hmmmm, This atmosphere and weather changes really does make you stop and think! If a nice storm was heading our way, why would a river stop it? An old wives tale?
Looking for a great place to Dine with lots of atmosphere? Look no futher Judge's on the River in Morganton, NC is the place to be! Judge's has been a big part of Morganton, NC for as long as I can remember. I went on my first date with my now husband to Judge's in Morganton, NC it was the first time he had ever been! I guess it was either me or the impact Judge's had on him that made him want to marry me! I love to sit at Judge's and watch the Catawba River flow softley by on it's way out of Morganton, NC, my children love Judge's for the play time they get out on the grounds and the greenway near by. I also love the fact that my husband and I can sit on the back deck and watch our children play on the grounds as we enjoy a nice glass of wine. So if you have never been give it a try, Judges Riverside, Morganton, NC is a very short drive from any of the Morganton, NC exists.
I was Born in Burke County and have lived in Western North Carolina all my life.
