Examiner.com Article: McMullen Creek Greenway (et al)

Even in the realm of journalism, I find it easy to be inspired by things - and, as part of the Sightseeing topic for Examiner.com, by places - that I love. The second article I wrote introduced my readers to a greenway whose trails I would jog every day if weather and my busy schedule allowed for it.

Charlotte parks and recreation series: Four Mile Creek/Lower McAlpineCreek/McMullen Creek Greenways
"The city of Charlotte currently has 33 miles of developed greenways, which […] with their marked trails provide citizens with a safe haven to bike, jog, walk, or just enjoy nature.

Three interconnected greenways, Four Mile Creek, Lower McAlpine Creek, and McMullen Creek, provide easy access to those who live in Pineville, Ballantyne, or other parts of south Charlotte." Read the full article.

This article will be part of the ongoing Charlotte Parks and Recreation Series; check back for more installments in spring.

Examiner.com article: SouthPark Mall

This was the first article I wrote for Examiner.com. I started off with a subject that related to the tourism interest in Charlotte and that I knew about well: SouthPark Mall, where I held my first job for about a year and a half.

SouthPark Mall: the designer boutique's home sweet home
"Convert New York’s prestigious Fifth Avenue into an indoor shopping center, relocate it 650 miles south, and the result would be Charlotte’s Southpark. This mall boasts the only Neiman Marcus in North Carolina as one of its anchor stores and one of the only two Nordstroms in the state as another.”Read the full article.
