The Rowan Cabarrus Community College will make a new home in Kannapolis, which is north of Charlotte NC Real Estate. Rowan and Cabarrus Counties are both north of Charlotte, but they are home to many people who commute to the city. It is only about an hour to Salisbury, which is the county seat of Rowan County.

Many people have settled into Salisbury Real estate in order to commute to Charlotte, especially if they work downtown because of the ease of access to freeways. However, those are a rare breed, without traffic, it is about an hour and fifteen minute commute from Charlotte to Salisbury. Morning traffic can add to that.

Other commuters choose closer communites like Cornelius, Concord, and Davidson to commute from. Which are much closer and can offer more of the ammenities that come with living close to a city the size of Charlotte. They are close to the new Ikea store, Lowes Motor Speedway, and Lake Norman.

The new community college should help make education more easily accessable to more people in Charlotte's economic region. Charlotte's Central Piedmont community college already has a complex system of campuses to serve the needs of the Charlotte area. This new campus will extend that umbrella around the city.

You may not know it, but I think the Charlotte Bobcats are on a path to the playoffs. They have won their sixth straight game, according to the Charlotte Observer.

The Bobcats beat the Knicks for their sixth straight win.

Some say that the franchise was named for their founder Bob Johnson, who also owns the BET Television network. Or they could be named for the mountain lion. Who knows.

The stadium they play in is relatively new and sits right in the heart of downtown. I think some dining establishments have sprung up around the stadium, although I can't name them. Charlotte's uptown and nightlife districts have become more happening over the past ten or 20 years thanks to the stadiums bringing people downtown. Panther's stadium is also located close to the banking center downtown.

The Bobcats stadium is much closer to the end of the light rail line that has sprung up in Charlotte, making it super easy to jump on the train in Pineville and jump off at a basketball game. In fact, the final stop of the rail line is the stadium, I think. Just remember to wear plenty of orange. Nobody wants to see you at a game wearing Knicks blue or Suns purple.

A new car company that makes futuristic police cars is looking at Charlotte NC for their new home, the Business Journal says. The idea is to take some of the people in the Charlotte area who have been idled by the downturn in the motor sports industry around Charlotte Motor Speedway and put their skills use building the police cars of the future.

Carbon Motors is a homeland security company, they say, whose goal is to build, service and recycle the world's first purpose built police car. The law enforcement equipment will be fully integrated into the car instead of bolted onto a current model like they are now.

They are just starting this venture, and they are looking for a home. They have designed the vehicle, but have not chosen a location for the plant. The executive team looks like a bunch of auto industry executives.

One of the big selling points of the car, they say, is the fact that it will run on clean diesel get 40% more miles to the gallon, which they say will save law enforcement agencies money. They also say that their vehicles will come with all their law enforcement equipment already on them so the agencies don't have to go out into the world to find and install their own equipment and take it off when they finally sell the vehicle at the end of its service life.

Interesting idea.

The golf tournament formerly known as the Wachovia Championship has gotten a new face. Wachovia started the tournament at Quail Hollow Country Club in South Charlotte in 2003. After Wells Fargo bought Wachovia, the fate of the PGA Tour event was up in the air. But Wells announced a while ago, and I blogged about it, that the show would go on, but the tournament would be given a new name.

But, now, it's sure, the show will go on. It is a full fledged tour event that is covered on television and everything. Sometimes a lot of big names show up. I think Tiger Woods missed last year because of his knee injury. But other big name golfers show up to do their thing.

Arnold Palmer was part of the course design I believe. He is active in Charlotte and lives in the city. He owns some Cadillac dealerships in the area. That's a good enough golf pedigree for anyone if you aske me!

The event is a big one for Charlotte NC because it brings so many people to the area to watch golf. Tour buses stream through southwest Charlotte taking people to their cars at satellite parking areas.

Perhaps you may have tasted some Krispy Kreme doughnuts in your time. But before the doughnuts went public and spread all over the country, they were local favorites here in Charlotte NC Real Estate. They aren't good for you. I really can't lie about that. They aren't healthy. But they are tasty and they were a southern secret. Consider yourselves lucky that you were brought in on it.

Krispy Kreme went public in the 90s, I think and the world started to taste the best doughnuts ever made.

Really, Dunkin Doughnuts can't even come close to the delicious Krispy Kreme Doughnut.

The best part about Krispy Kreme is that they are fried right on site and if you order plain glazed doughnuts, they pull them right off the line in front of you, right out of the frier. There is nothing better than a fresh doughnut.

Some say coffee is the perfect compliment, chocolate milk can also be a solid choice when choosing a beverage to go with your artery clogging breakfast item.

There's a Krispy Kreme located on the West side by I - 77, but there is also one on Independence Boulevard, or US 74, whichever you prefer, in Matthews. It makes it very convenient for commuters to drive in, grab a doughnut and eat it on the way in to work in downtown Charlotte.
