Long Range Planning for the Town of Cornelius - Where does Lake Norman Fit?

The Town of Cornelius held it's annual planning session at the tony Peninsula Club. While from all accounts, it was a good session, there was a lot of "dreaming" going on. Not necessarily a bad thing but with so many other issues on the table, it does seem odd that so much time was allocated to a brainstorming session on how to make Cornelius a shopping and dining destination.

Hopefully, the pressing issues of schools, land development, taxes, and CMUD over billing on water rates will float to the top of the agenda (you like how I used a water reference to make a point on a blog devoted to LKN?). Certainly, long range planning needs to happen but let's put it in priority with the other issues facing the town.

Lake Norman the Coolest Place in Town?

Who turned off the warm? It was below 20 dregrees this morning and won't be much warmer today or the rest of the week.

Oh well, I am guessing I will be posting about it being too warm in August!

Happy New Year LKN Locals!

The Spirit of the Season is all over Lake Norman

It is the Holiday Season around Lake Norman and it is only fitting that we look at those among us that are doing good in our communities and say thanks. Thank you for the Red Cross volunteers, for the police and public safety offices, thank you to the individuals that make personal contributions, thank you to those that stocked local food pantries, and thank you to those that helped local charities.

Yes, thank you for making this place we call LKN a better place.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all!

Lake Norman Snow!

I know, it's been a while since my last post. I have a new job and done a ton of travel, so I've not taken the time to make a post. But there is lots going on around LKN. I will do a better job of posting about happenings around the Lake but now you know why I've not been around.

But talking about happenings around the Lake, we have snow! Yes, it arrived on December 18th, the Friday before Christmas, and we have the white stuff on the ground.

I hope you have a fantastic Holiday season and for my Christian friends, Merry Christmas!

McDowell Creek Greenway at Lake Norman

The McDowell Creek Greenway park officially opens Oct 10th here in LKN. Come join the fun or just take a walk!

New Winery on the West Shore of Lake Norman

If you are looking for some good local wine, look no farther than the West Shore of LKN. My wife's stepbrother just opened his new winery and retail store, Sweet Vine Winery. Not only will he be selling his own vintage wine but also other North Carolina wines. So, stop by and give his "killer apple Riesling" a try. All the best to you Ken!
