When Elizabeth Avenue comes to fruition, this location will be ideal. In the meantime, we’re trying to keep focused on improving things for our customers, neighbors and ourselves. We recently put up sheers in the windows in the bar so we could diffuse the bulldozer scene on the street. Psychologically this has made us feel better. Now the construction is in the world out there, while we maintain the ambience inside. We are participating in the LizBizPromos and many of us will be featuring a drink special called the bulldozer. Maybe we’ll offer a free shoeshine in the spring or put velvet ropes at our entrance. Grubb Properties and all of the retailers are talking about doing a street festival when all this is completed. Maybe we can throw construction hats in the air like at graduation! “

On one hand, the tough times have pushed us to be more creative with our marketing budget. Rather than traditional advertising methods, we’re really focusing on two areas - establishing our online presence and reaching out to our Elizabeth community. We’ve set up events to help draw our neighbors to the area - cooking classes, dinners featuring sustainable, locally grown products, and an upcoming coffee and chocolate pairing event. So far, we’ve had a great response from our customers.

This ongoing and now extended project has impacted us in many ways. Our retail store, with sales down due to the economy along with the road closures and construction, will close temporarily on Feb 15th. We’re planning a Grand Re-opening in August, after all the dust settles. In our restaurants, we have had to lay off 3 people from our kitchen staff and cut hours for many of our other employees to survive this, and having to do that has been especially hard.

All the businesses along here have been impacted and to keep We’re definitely excited about moving forward we meet weekly the growth of the area and and continue to be positive the potential to be situated about the end result.

The Jenkins home by Beth Schultz, Adam Schultz and Peter Tart The Jenkins home, at the corner of Louise Avenue and East 7th Street, was of the Craftsman style with a broad, deep porch overlooking Independence Park, which was opened around the same time the home was built. Siblings Bill and Eleanor Jenkins were born and raised in this home, played in the neighborhood as children, and lived there as adults until 2002. Bill was a draftsman while Eleanor graduated from what is now Queens University in the Class of 1939. She worked as a registered Queens faculty member, Mathematics and Registrar. Bill, following graduation from Central High School, spent his life’s work as a draftsman for J. N. Pease Architectural Firm. He was also a member of St. Martin’s Episcopal Church and enjoyed writing and composing short stories. Our understanding is

Architect Peter Tart had provided schematic plans to sub-divide the large tract to accommodate a second home; local developer Monte Richie had attempted to have the home moved to a new location; and architect Babak Emadi maintained efforts to find a buyer for the property.

Countdown to the 2009 Elizabeth 8K by Amanda Loftus The 2009 Elizabeth 8K will hit the streets on Saturday, March 28! We are very proud to host Charlotte’s second oldest road race, and this year marks its 23rd edition. Runners and walkers are delighted year after year with the scenic course through the Elizabeth neighborhood and the hospitality of our community. Proceeds from the race benefit the beautification of our common areas and the replenishment of trees, and this is one of our neighborhood’s largest annual fundraisers. In these tough times when we have seen the race’s sponsorship commitments dwindle and our costs increase, we are counting on strong participation from our

While it is common to find a single accent window on the front of Craftsman homes, the Jenkin’s home had two large accent windows adjacent to the front door. The large picture windows, overlooking the park, had beveled glass in the main body and a top transom of leaded glass. The home’s overall combination of materials, textures and forms were quite pleasing and its place within the fabric of the neighborhood will be missed.

Going green in Elizabeth by Frances D’Amato In my opinion, we live in one of the best neighborhoods in Charlotte. We can walk to our park for refreshing exercise. Most of our homes are surrounded by trees, which help us keep cool in summer and provide kindling wood in winter. We have weekly recycling pick-up provided by our city. Our population is well educated and aware of world events. Going green is a natural.

Cars

Many of us have two or more cars. I drive a Honda Accord EX. It has excellent gas mileage and high performance. I feel good knowing that my car serves the environment and me very well. To those who say they need an SUV because they need to put the kids in car seats, I say when my nieces were small I was able to put two car seats in the back seat of my Honda. Composting

allowing me to keep the temp of the heating system down. In summer I use jet fans. You’d be surprised at how effective both are for temperature control. I also have ceiling fans in my office and bedroom that help circulate air and assist in heating and cooling. I’ve learned that with a fast acting hot water heater, I can turn it off most of the time and turn it on 15 minutes before I want to take a shower or use the dishwasher. You may also want to look into the feasibility of using solar panels to heat your water or a timed thermostat installed to control both the hot water and heat. Lighting

I use n:vision bulbs that use 14 watts to produce light equivalent to 60 watts. Each bulb saves $46 for the year. I have 22 n:vision bulbs in my home for a saving of $1012 a year. Try them and see what a difference they make. I do still use three full spectrum lights in my three reading lamps. I feel my eyes deserve a light close to the value of the sun that doesn’t flicker.

note asking to please remove me from their mailing list, enclosing the address label and waited. It takes about 3 months for them to take you off their list so be patient. Now I have fewer unwanted ads in my mailbox. I’ve put all my bills on auto payment and receive all bills online. That also helps cut down on the possibility of identity theft. Recycling

Of course I take advantage of our recycling program. However, I find it better not to bring home things that will need to be recycled, so I use cloth bags for my shopping. I leave the bags in my car trunk and always have one available when I stop in to a store. I try to buy from merchants that wrap meat and fish in paper not plastic trays. I reuse plastic bags for fresh fruits and vegetables. In April the Kings Road Farmers Market will open and you will find me there.
