Update on Oak Island Bridge
Brunswick County, NC
July 30, 2008

Construction of Second Oak Island Bridge

Along with "why the sky is blue," one of those curious child-questions is how a bridge gets built into the water. Okay, maybe it's not just a child's question! The engineering feat is amazing, and more than a passing interest to those of us who live in Brunswick County.

This photo of the so-called "second" Oak Island bridge was just taken and yes, indeed, the project is right on schedule. What does that mean? It means great property opportunities for both homes and land near the bridge on Oak Island, making Wilmington and Myrtle Beach even closer when you choose to leave paradise. It means another access for those who live in Seawatch, St James, Riversea and other plantations.

Now is the perfect time to buy. Why? Because the prognosticators predict a turn-around just as the bridge is finished, and the prices will start going up.

And by the way, the blue of a Carolina sky defies description, but who cares. It brings such a sense of wonder and well-being that we don't really care why it's blue!

Quality of Life Series
Brunswick County, NC
July 23, 2008

This is the first in our Quality of Life Series. On the fourth Wednesday of every month, you will receive a snapshot of what makes life here different from where you live now.

We are starting with the waterfront of Southport. Only in the last twenty years has Southport transformed from a small quiet fishing village to a town of unique shops, historic homes, and affordable condos. One thing that hasn't changed? The waterfront is still the center of life here. I think you will agree that our town really does look like a picture postcard. Hope you enjoy our gallery of Southport on the Water.

On the Banks of the Majestic Cape Fear River

Yacht Basin Provision Company

1000 Places to See in the USA and Canada

Southport, NC has made THE list in 1,000 Places in the USA and Canada to See Before You Die. In it, international bestselling author Patricia Schultz highlights a few of Southport's most popular spots. This didn't surprise me, because I've always known that Southport is a must-see for just about everyone!

Schultz writes that Southport is a "richly historic town rife with galleries, boutiques, and a great marina." She also mentions a favorite seafood dive of hers, the Yacht Basin Provision Company -- a restaurant everyone in our office frequents. When there, Schultz writes (and I agree) that you should "grab a beverage from the cooler and order from the bounty of the sea: conch fritters, the best fresh shrimp cocktail, and lumpy crab cakes on paper plates."

Now is the perfect time to visit! Let us know when you're going to be in town, and we'll plan on lunch at the Provision Company.
