For what its worth, we just moved to Waxhaw, NC (just outside of Charlotte) about 2 weeks ago -- job transfer, I actually work in Ft Mill, SC.

Anybody in the area? Let me know.

Here's one of our pit stops (kids and dog potty break) from IL to NC.

Had to bring my daily driver............. wife's car was shipped to our new home.

 

I'm from Winston Salem, but on the road until Decemberish. Maybe 1 1/2 from there. Nice area, I went to UNCC back in my yute, still lots of friends in the area. Good place to live.

 

your X looks really nice. wish mine had the Limited trim

 

I love Waxhaw! My wife and I live in Raleigh NC but travel to Waxhaw twice a year to participate in a couple of local festivals they have (we own a concessions business). It's a very nice little town. My wife often says she wants us to retire there.

I gotta say I love that Ex, We had a jeep wagoner with the same color..

 

My family is enjoying this area -- excellent place to raise my children. Great school system and we live in great neighborhood. We can definitely see ourselves living here for a long time.

I heard about the great festivals here. If you can provide more info that would be great.

One of the things I look forward to is to NOT deal with salty roads and massive amount of snow. Too bad the Ex has been exposed to salt but at least it would slow down the rusting process --- I hope.

Thanks for the kind words regarding my Ex. Love this truck too.

 

Welcome to the area. I'm in Midland, NC , about 30 minutes from Waxhaw. Lived here most of my life. Great place to live. Your also closer to the RRE East event. Trying to get their this year myself.

 

Sorry for taking so long to reply. There are 2 festivals we go to in Waxhaw. The first is in the spring on May 17th and 18th. It is called SpringFest. They also have basically the same festival in October and it is called Autumn Treasures. They also have a few more throughout the year but those are the 2 we attend. If you go to Waxhaw's city home page they will have more info about them. If you decide to check out the SpringFest stop by and say hello. We own and operate the big inflatable lemonade lemonade stand (can't miss it....it looks like a bounce house and is about 15' tall). I'd be great to meet and say hello to someone on the forums in person.

Thank you for the info Jim. Excited about the events and will look for your stand.

 

What's the RRE East Event?
