The festival was kicked off with a 5K run. Leslie Reschly came in third in her age group. Suzanne Tulsey once again came in 1st! Brooke Rudd was heard to say that she was glad Suzanne was bumped up to an older group this year.
Going to the beach over the 4th of July week is a North Carolina tradition that goes back to when all the textile mills (that aren't here anymore!) would close for Vacation Week! On Oak Island, which used to be Long Beach before it consolidated with the Town of Yaupon Beach was first developed the streets were named after North Carolina towns. When they ran out of town names they used football mascots. Eventually, when no one could find their way around they renamed the streets numerically for the most part. The developer laid out the streets and had four lots 60' frontage each between each street, this with the right of way of 60' gave us 300' from street to street. Our numbered streets go from 79th Steet on the East end of town to 30 West at the Intracoastal Waterway to 69th place West out on the beach. Lots of streets which made getting around under the old system almost impossible.
Margaret Rudd & Associates, Inc. REALTORS manages vacation rental real estate at Oak Island, which formerly was known as Yaupon Beach and Long Beach, and also Caswell Beach and Southport, NC. This year there are homes and condominiums available for rental for the week beginning 4th of July, tomorrow, and if they aren't rented on a weekly basis by tomorrow they will begin to be available on a nightly basis. Come to the Beach, where the breezes cool us off each day and the seafood is great! The Brunswick Catch is local seafood, and really can't be beat.
Southport has its best face forward for the crowds expected to enjoy the N C 4th of July Festival. Our streets have lots of red, white and blue pennants over the street and most buildings are decorated for the celebration. Since the 4th of July falls on a Saturday this year it will be interesting as that is check-out and check-in day at the Oak Island Beaches. We do have available some beachfront and beachside accommodations. Come join the fun.
I've had 5 straight great days on the bicycle, and no soreness now, almost 3 months after the fractures! It's hard not to feel great riding by and across the Intracoastal Waterway or by the Oak Island Lighthouse at Caswell Beach. All you have to do to see the ocean is to glance over at the right spots and there is the mighty Atlantic. Beginning with 6 miles, then 8, then 10, then 14 and 18 today I feel like I'm gaining back my conditioning on the bicycle.
What does this have to do with real estate? It's certainly easy to see which brochure boxes are being emptied, and which agents keep them filled. I have one location that is so popular I finally had to tape a brochure on the inside of the front door glass.
