Speechless Sundays - Another Presidential Candidate?Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS reminded me with his question about meeting clients at restaurants, that I snapped a great photo this week. I took one of my clients out to lunch at one of our most popular barbeque restaurants in South End. I had never parked on one of the sides of the building and saw this lovely artwork painted on the building for the first time.  It definitely brought a smile to my face, thinking of all of the options we will have in 2020 - we may as well add Willie to the list! Happy Sunday! © Debe Maxwell | The Maxwell House Group | RE/MAX Executive | CharlotteBroker@icloud.com | Speechless Sundays - Another Presidential Candidate?

Things to Do & Places to Go in Charlotte - Sycamore Brewing I’m not one who spends a lot of time at our local craft breweries but, I do know a good brewery when I experience one! We recently hosted a client appreciation event at one that we had heard wonderful things about - and the team had given me a big thumbs-up on - Sycamore Brewing. Their tagline “Drink Carolina Proud” is demonstrated consistently in its award-winning, easy-drinking, locally-brewed craft beer. This family-owned brewery is rooted right here in Charlotte, North Carolina.  We rented the space and had, not only craft beer that exceeded our expectations but, impeccable service. I have to say that my favorite was the Strawberry Basil Cider - perfect for a cool winter evening. The food service for the event was Papi Ques...

Nikko Japanese Restaurant & Sushi Bar - Charlotte Restaurant Review Another great line-up of restaurants for Charlotte's Most Recent Restaurant Week (The Queen’s Feast)! We had a 10-member party, celebrating a birthday and the ‘birthday girl’ selected her favorite sushi restaurant, Nikko.  Nikko offers conventional & unconventional Japanese dishes in a sleek, modern setting with a club vibe. The massive color-changing wall viewable from the street, adds to the club atmosphere.  Nikko pairs "excellent" sushi and other delightful Japanese fare. Despite the ‘glitzy’ club atmosphere, prices are moderate and the service is excellent.  The sashimi didn’t disappoint, nor did the sushi, the teriyaki steak or the firecracker shrimp. In fact, the food was divine and the service was amazing. The o...

Hot Charlotte Neighborhoods - South End  Historic South End is located 1.5 miles from center city Charlotte and borders the historic Dilworth neighborhood. South End has its beginning in the 1850s when the first railroad line came to Charlotte, connecting the Queen City to Columbia and Charleston, SC. Over the decades, the thriving manufacturing community of South End sprang up along the tracks, centered on the burgeoning textile industry. The area experienced a revival in the 1990s as restaurants, shops, and design-related industries discovered the beauty and versatility of the old mills and warehouses. Many warehouses have also been converted into upscale condominiums. The addition of Charlotte's light rail system has spouted new development along the tracks, providing easy access to ...
