My friend, Janet Harriman, recently told me about some local folks who are doing great things toward helping us live more lightly on this old Earth. A couple of years ago Iredell residents Drude and Angelina Corbet designed and built a home in New Hope township in north Iredell that’s highly efficient in the use of materials and energy- a “green” [...]

Another World in North Iredell

From the middle of Iredell County, Statesville, on down through Troutman and Mooresville, the character of Iredell County is defined by small cities, small towns, small farms, and Lake Norman. Above Statesville, Iredell County becomes something very different. Last Friday afternoon, I accompanied Elizabeth Barnhardt, our Realtor Association Director of Government Affairs, on a brief [...]

I recently spent a pleasant fall afternoon showing homes to a couple from out-of-state who are looking to move now that they are empty nesters. They said that they are in the market for a home in or near a relatively small community that has easy access to the amenities of a larger city. They also [...]
Grey Hair and High School Reunions
Posted in internet, Iredell County, Mooresville, Quality of Life, Statesville, Troutman, tagged high school reunion, Iredell County, Iredell County Real Estate, mooresville real estate, South Iredell High School, Statesville Real Estate, Troutman Real Estate on November 10, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Young people don’t understand how you could use the words “grey hair” and “high school” in the same sentence. However, if it has been 41 years since you finished high school, then you understand. Last Saturday night, my South Iredell High School Class of ’68 had our 41st reunion at the Black Angus in Statesville. Although the [...]
New Look for Statesville?
Posted in Iredell County, Quality of Life, Statesville, tagged downtown statesville, Iredell County, Statesville on September 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Sitting in the doctor’s office this morning, I read in a copy of Statesville Living Magazine that the city’s leaders are planning a presentation later in September on plans that will be proposed to freshen up Statesville’s downtown area over the next 20-25 years. Of course, I didn’t take the magazine from the doctor’s office, but [...]
Hot Dog Speed-Eating in Troutman
Posted in Iredell County, Lake Norman, Quality of Life, Troutman, tagged hot dog eating, Iredell County, J. Hoyt Hayes Memorial Troutman Library, Troutman Library, troutman north carolina on September 1, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Saturday was a big day for Troutman area hot dog lovers. They got to watch a display of hot dog eating skill that makes normal folks shudder. The brand new annual Labor Day Festival and Hot Dog Competition held at Ole World Market in Troutman brought out some heavy hitters, but the “top dog” was Will [...]
Bird Battle
Posted in Iredell County, Mooresville, Quality of Life, tagged hummingbirds, Iredell, Iredell County on August 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I recently spent a couple of hours near my hummingbird feeder watching the little guys fuss over the three feeding stations. I don’t know why they fight since there are usually no more than three hanging around at a time, but they sure do. Must be something about one of them being dominant. They’ll dive [...]
Iredell County- Where’d That Name Come From?
Posted in Iredell County, Quality of Life, tagged Iredell, Iredell County on August 14, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I’m a native of Iredell County, born in Statesville and grew up in Troutman, so I always find it entertaining to hear people who’ve moved here from other parts of the country (or world) first attempt to pronounce the name, Iredell. The most common attempts I hear are Ear-re-dell, Eye-re-dell. I always want to help people become [...]
