Don’t Vote.

October 3rd, 2008 categories: Friday Fun, Good stuff in Charlotte we find

OK, maybe it’s just a bunch of superstars telling us (wink wink) not to vote (Ellen is a trip don’t ya think?)  But the point is well taken, setting politics aside for the moment there has probably never been a better, more important time TO VOTE! We really are at a critical juncture in this country and the decision we make will have a profound impact on our jobs, families and yes….our Charlotte homes!

It has been quite a week for Charlotte losing one of our most valued corporate citizens Wachovia and I am afraid this is only the beginning of some very challenging times ahead. We will Prevail.
Remember too (parties aside) Pat McCrory would be a very Charlotte friendly Governor and Charlotte has long needed a strong voice in Raleigh biased state politics.

So, of course VOTE, vote your conscience ~ we @ Talk Charlotte just ask that you join us and please VOTE on November 4. (read about the video here)

Wells Fargo Calvary (sort of) to rescue Wachovia. Charlotte too!

October 3rd, 2008 categories: Uncategorized

The Calvary arrived in Charlotte today! The Wells Fargo Bank of Sand Francisco announced today it’s own rescue package, buying Charlotte’s Wachovia bank for a more respectable amount. Surely it does not heal all wounds but on first blush looks like a well deserved break for Wachovia employees, shareholders and Charlotte. Maybe the sun will rise versus set on a new friend for Charlotte. Read more here in the Charlotte Business Journal.
