Staying Ahead Carolina

STAYING AHEAD, CAROLINA
“Staying Ahead, Carolina” (SAC) is a newcomers group, founded in 2005 by Sabrina Brown. As a Realtor, she wanted to help her clients become acclimated to the area and active members within the community. However, given the rapid growth and changes in the Charlotte market, long-time residents too have expressed an interest in the group’s programs. “Given our metro is growing by leaps and bounds, Staying Ahead, Carolina represents a focus on emerging trends affecting the Carolinas and the Charlotte metro in particular. Residents come together to socialize and exchange information about the area. So whether we’re talking about Charlotte’s real estate growth, home improvement tips, or the richness of its arts and entertainment sector, every gathering provides an opportunity for residents to not only gain useful information, but meet new friends in a casual social setting and enjoy fine cuisine. Welcome to Charlotte!”

Attractions Near the Charlotte Metro

THIS PAST INDEPENDENCE DAY I VISITED LAKE LURE AND THE ADJACENT TOWN OF CHIMNEY ROCK. I APPRECIATED ONCE MORE HOW NICE IT IS TO LIVE IN THE CHARLOTTE METRO. WHAT OTHER PLACES OFFER THE CONVENIENCES OF BEING NEAR OCEAN AND MOUNTAINS ALL WITHIN A FEW HOURS? IN FACT, OUR TRIP TO CHIMNEY ROCK WAS LESS THAN A TWO HOUR DRIVE. WE COULD HAVE RETURNED THE SAME DAY BUT DECIDED TO STAY OVERNIGHT IN ONE OF THE CABINS.

WHAT A WONDERFUL CLIMB TO ENJOY SOME OF THE PANORAMIC VIEWS OF THE AREA. I ENJOYED THE QUIET OF THIS QUAINT TOWN ALONG THE BROAD RIVER, HAVING OUR FEET SOAK IN THE COOL, MOUNTAIN WATER. WHEN WE VENTURED TO HIKE CHIMNEY ROCK, WE EVEN MADE OUR WAY TO THE HICKORY GROVE FALL -- WHAT FUN!!

OUTDOOR LOVERS WOULD LOVE THE OFFERINGS OF LAKE LURE AND CHIMNEY ROCK.
