Another good long weekend to Concord and the local area is winding down. On Sunday March 14, 2010 visited the Harrisburg, NC area. Photo at left is of the Harrisburg Town Hall, and some of the shops in the Town Center. Kind of a neat thing in the region are these sort of developments with government services, shops and housing all in one area. There are a few of these in the local areas, and they make it real easy for a lot of people to get what they need in one local area. That is also the case in Huntersville, Davidson, and in Charlotte where these have become increasingly popular. I will show some more in future posts to this blog.
Went by Three Monkeys (also in the Harrisburg Town Center) where I watched Kentucky win the SEC (boo!) and Duke win the ACC (no comment). Nice place for a cold refreshing beverage of your choice, and some really good food. I like friendly comfortable places and in Harrisburg, NC you can not do a lot better than this one. For a long time, you could not find places like this as Harrisburg was "dry" when I first came there some 11 years ago. Of course, not only were there no bars, there was also no Harrisburg Town Center. It is amazing how fast this area has popped up over the years. As I remember this was a field, and you saw that happen a great deal around here.
Last photo is a Shelby Mustang, which is here just because...it is a Shelby Mustang. Not unusual here to see some really great cars and thought this one rated a place on my blog this week. Nearby Concord is one of the centers of the NASCAR universe, and it is fun to see some high performance vehicles racing around nearby Charlotte (formerly Lowe's) Motor Speedway. It is less than two months before the All-Star Race and the Coca-Cola 600; be looking for some visits to the local race shops here in upcoming blog posts. Lots of interest to see in the local area, and I plan to bring as much of it as I can to you!
