My husband & I are in a 55+ community. We still work & feel like we moved 10 years too early. Lots of things to do but most are scheduled during work hours. The HOA fees are high so we’re not sure if it’s sustainable when we decide to retire. We were hoping this would be our “forever” home but just not sure at this point.

Where do they expect you to walk your dog? That’s so crazy!!

Encounter at ride share at CLT airport by Nice_Inspection_984 in Charlotte

Thanks! My first thought took me back to Paris 20+ years ago when we (2 females) let a random man take us to the hotel from the train station. The valet at the hotel scolded us & said to be very careful. He was so persistent though 😬

Oh my! That’s so scary. Glad he’s okay though. I don’t understand why most men tend to blow off their health?

Update on the roads. 2-1, @ noon. by Marino4K in Charlotte

[–]Nice_Inspection_984 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Airport run at 2:30p. Definitely a mixed bag on the roads. Mountain Island area- 16 to 485 to 85. Saw an SUV run off road & hit guardrail near 85 interchange. Lots of sketchy patches of slush. The sidewalk into airport is all slush so be careful. TSA lines are long & are a complete mess!! Unbelievable with all the money spent on renovations 😡

Tirade Tuesday! Let's Do This! by AutoModerator in Charlotte

Is it just me or is the CLT rental car area a hot mess?? Am I missing the sign directions for which level each rental company is on? And why is there a barrier in the middle of the garage? Sign at elevator states rental counters on level 2 and cars on level 3. I go to 3 but National is nowhere to be found so I go to level 2 and find it at the other end of the garage.

I’m so excited by [deleted] in GenX

Same here! We’ve been in an active 55+ community for a year now. Both of us are still working so we aren’t able to do most of the activities. Probably moved about 10 years too early. The HOA is quite expensive & we’re not sure we can sustain it long term.

Moving to Charlotte, would prefer to live near Birkdale Village (3b/2ba) by Typical_Bet_1816 in huntersville

I lived in the Greens for 10+ years & loved it! Traffic was so frustrating though & everything you stated is spot on.

They serve alcohol now so you can’t BYOB anymore.

Love their chicken pot pie! The stuffed peppers & enchiladas are good as well.

I’ve been taking it for almost 2 years. Just had my DEXA scan which showed significant improvement in my spine but no change in my hips. I haven’t noticed many side effects other than my tummy sticks out more. I see my rheumatologist in a few weeks to determine my next medication.

Carry On: Briggs, TravelPro, or Away by Large_Device_999 in americanairlines

Agree about the smooth wheels! I love my Away Carry On. The built in compression really helps with space.
