This is dedicated to the folks that are planning on making their move down here to the Carolinas. I know a lot of you folks are interested in Union County and we would love to have you, especially since that is my business. Waxhaw is a town that sparks a lot of interest and yes there are a few sub-divisons were you can live with a manageable mortgage, but there are those that can go over the top. It is a boom town, but it wasn't always that way.

Waxhaw still has remnents of it's former past standing , it was dependent on cotton at one time and when that industry was hit with hard times a new bumper crop of antique shops started to sprout. Downtown Waxhaw is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

If anyone has watched the movie "Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou" at the end when the family walks through downtown, did you notice the pedestrian bridge over the railroad. Well, that shot was downtown Waxhaw with a little computer touch-up. The big house on the hill is not there because in reality it's a smoke stack.

I always liked Waxhaw, but what I don't like are some of the strip shopping centers, they don't blend in. Of course at the time when they were built, they were greatly needed because it was a long drive to get your groceries. Maybe one day the developers/builders will come back and do a touch-up, just like in the movies.

I'm including a link to the Waxhaw website so that all Waxhaw aficionado's can get up to speed on the towns history. http://www.waxhaw.com/
