We have had a busy week... I will try to do some writing early this week.
I know. I know. Soon. Really. Check back in a few days.
The news here: More snow, and a rainy week ahead of us.
Beth and I are trying to narrow down our choices.
The word of the day is PUD!
That's right, PUD.
Planned Unit Development
It's planned, there are lots of units, and they are done by developers.
Mayfaire and Southpoint are both PUDs.
It turns out that they are very popular down here in the South. Shopping, Main Street, ample parking, and convenient livin' all built into one piece.
Pick up local papers for any quaint little town in South Caarolina and chances are you will see an article about efforts to start or stop a PUD in the area.
See the Wikipedia definition here: PUD
One of the first days that Beth and I were cruising around Wilmington, we drove by a tire store that REALLY caught my eye. It looked like a classic old tire shop with the usual groups of tire changers working out front. There was just something a little different about it. This place is on a narrow tree lined road in an old section of town and traffic was moving pretty fast, so there was no way that I could stop. The next day was Sunday. In most towns in North Carolina things are preeeetty quiet on Sunday morning. I was able to park our van in the parking lot and I scurried across the street to take some pictures. This is a wonderful building.
