Sometimes you get a bit tired of the same old thing when it comes to movies. Whether it be special effects laden films, gross out comedies, or whatever Oscar bait dramaHollywood has decided to toss at audiences, theater goers might want something a bit fresh.

Not suggesting you can’t have a great time watching films that you can catch at a convenient local movie theater, because we always like an escape, which most movies provide. The point here is, why not try to widen up your selections, for such escapist fair.

A host of neighbors to Abberly Green offer such a variety, with a slew of upcoming film festivals. Most of these festivals aren’t around the corner, so why not make a weekend trip out of it? Reserve a room in one of the cities, and enjoy an entire weekend of movie watching, along with hanging out at a host of local haunts in each respective city.

Your escapist palate will be broadened, and you’ll have gotten a great weekend trip out of it. We’ve listed  a few of the  festivals below as provided by NC Film.com, but head here for a more complete list.

Car shows are pretty fun events to attend. Whether you’re an aficionado of older models or new models, anyone who has a desire to check out automobiles of all shapes and sizes should head out to a car show. In some cases you can see model’s from past decades, which you would probably only find in history books, or some Hollywood blockbusters.

To attend a show where popular models from next year will be displayed is always pretty fun, as you get a sneak peek behind the curtain. Either way, if  the sound of an engine revving gets you pumped up then its definitely best to attend a car show.

For Abberly Green car enthusiasts, on the first Saturday of the month until October, Mooresville hosts the Mooresville Cruise-In Classic Car Show. According to the Moorseville website, car enthusiasts will bring out their classic automobiles for the one day show to display in downtown Moorseville. The event is free of charge to attend, though event organizers ask that people contribute a canned good or cash donation if possible, as these proceeds are given to the local Moorseville/ Lake Norman Mission.

As explained on the event’s’ website, only vehicles from 1979 and before can be displayed and includes a selection of “Rat Rods, Trucks, Classics, American Muscles”. Head here and here for more information.

Having an upstairs neighbor who sounds like all they do is somersaults all day and night isn’t fun.  In reality, most of the noise that comes from upstairs isn’t intentional at all.  You could be that neighbor who calls the police every time there is a bump in the night, or when the music is just too loud to even hear yourself think; literally.  But to be quite honest, there is a better way.

The quickest and easiest way to solve the issue of loud upstairs neighbors comes through friendship.  This whole matter revolves around relationships. If you don’t have a connection with your neighbor they won’t even remember to mind you with their life in any way.  Instead of knocking on their door with a mean face try a happy face.  Let your neighbor know how much you care for them and the next time they have guests or work on a project that requires noise, they may remember that nice neighbor that lives beneath them and show a little more respect and courtesy.

In the mean time think about all of the noise the people who live below you have to endure.  Let us know how this apartment living tip has helped you.  What other suggestions do you have for avoiding thunder stumpers?

To Rent or to Buy?

TO RENT OR TO BUY

We all need a place to call home but even with the real estate downturn, many people continue to think thatbuying a home is a good investment and a way for them to build wealth.  When times were good, this was not really the case for most people.  Wherever you choose to live, make sure it’s for the right reasons.  Owning a home can be rewarding. Renting an apartment home in Mooresville at Abberly Green can also be very rewarding.  Don’t just take our word for it – check out thisarticle on Yahoo Finance.

This article from yahoo finance will go over questions like:

• My home is my largest asset. Why shouldn’t I rely on it to provide my nest egg?
• But it’s certainly better to buy a house than to pay rent, right?
• But I have to live somewhere! And I have to pay something for a place to live. Certainly it’s better to pay “deductible” mortgage interest than rent…

Be in the know.  Do your own research and be confident in the decision that you make to rent or to buy.
