Greenville's park system, which includes River Park North, is another reason newcomers are here Myriah and Brian Shewchuk could easily be mistaken for lifelong Pirates fans. The season-ticket holders are eager partici­pants in the tailgate picnics that flourish before East Carolina University football games.

Greenville NC -  Its been a hot summer here in Pitt County and the recent weather has kept lots of people inside the past few weeks but that was not the case when I visited the local mall here on Saturday. Pulling into the mall I was like WOW at all the people and then I remembered it was tax free weekend. Summer coming to an end and all the school shoppers were out in numbers looking for the local deals. I made my way inside to find that my favorite store was very packed with young buyers, the manager made comment to me of just how busy they had been the whole weekend and sales were GREAT! Its good to see the local economy getting a boost. Its also good to see the local retailers being able to empty out the store inventories. I have grown to learn that here in Pitt County we owe alot t... 08/07/2008

How To Get Your Agent to Work Twice as Hard  Hire a Team of Professionals The fact is, there isn't much more to the average agent than the agent themselves. Most agents operate a one-person show - and they're probably breaking their backs trying to do a good job for their clients. Most agents couldn't really work any harder than they're already working. We know, because we used to do it this way. But we don't anymore because we found that our client's suffered from our good intentions. The fact is, you may be sympathetic to the fact that your agent is working as hard as humanly possible, but if the quality and profitability of your home sale suffers as a result of them trying to do everything themselves . . . well, . . .you have a right to feel cheated The simple explanation is that we ... 07/26/2008

Back in March, my middle child Rachel Iris has renal failure.  A week in a hospital will make you figure out what you want out of life.  Appointments and biopsies make you realize how precious life is.  We had taken her to the doctor a few times, they kept saying that it was normal childhood sickness.  Two days after her fourth birthday, I had enough..... But first..listing appointment, finalize offer,  Why cant we just walk away from this business?  So at 4:00 I took her to her appointment.  Obviously the doctors suggestion of alternating Tylenol and Motrin was not helping.  I urged them to do blood work.  I hear them out in the hall.....white blood cells, infectious disease, emergency room.  I had been so busy trying to survive in this market.  I felt like I had failed the only thing ... 06/21/2008
