Former Carolina Panther Dan Morgan Opens Two New Restaurants in Charlotte, North Carolina

Former Carolina Panther Linebacker Dan Morgan and his wife Ashleigh along with the BarFly Group have opened a new pizzeria and diner in South Charlotte’s Stonecrest neighborhood.

Cheese Mo’z is the name of the pizzeria. Dan Morgan’s inspiration came from Anthony’s Coal fired pizza located in South Florida. Pizza, pasta, sandwiches, salads and wings will be served at Cheese Mo’z. Cheese Mo’z will offer several televisions for the sports fan. I can see a large number of Carolina Panthers fans piling in come game time.

The diner Sweet T’s will serve Southern style comfort food from breakfast to dinner, specializing in cakes and pies for dessert. Hopefully, Sweet T’s will be just as comforting to the palate.

Both restaurants are located in the new village at the Robinson Farm development at Rea Road and Williams Pond Lane in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Credit Repair is More Than a Right, It's Your Responsibility

by Stuart Hunter
The majority of Americans have errors and other unverifiable information on their credit reports that could be dragging down their credit score. Odds are good that your credit score is lower than it should be. The unfortunate thing is that odds are you will be yet another one of the millions of Americans who will continue to suffer with an unfair credit score because you will do nothing to repair your credit.

Most Americans want to believe the credit reporting system works; that people earn their bad credit and there is nothing they can do about it but wait for seven years. But study after study shows the credit reporting system frequently does not work. This is why the Fair Credit Reporting Act and other consumer protection legislation give you the right to do something about it - the right to make sure your credit score is as good as it can be.

So why is it that, though everyone has the right to dispute the negative items in their credit reports, very few people do? It certainly can't be because they don't understand the importance of a high credit score. After all, it doesn't take a genius to figure out the benefits of a good credit score when it can be the difference between paying $2,500/month and $2,000/month for the exact same house.

More likely, the reason people do not repair their credit is a mix of apathy and lack of understanding of the credit reporting system. Too many people assume the credit reporting system is some official government bureaucracy with an extensive system of checks and balances designed to ensure the safekeeping of their credit history. This couldn't be further from the truth.

The credit bureaus at the center of the credit reporting system are not official organizations. Instead, they are massive, for-profit corporations that collect personal information from your creditors and make money by selling this information in the form of your credit reports.

So now you are asking yourself, how do they ensure this information is correct? If a creditor reports something that is wrong, how do the credit bureaus make sure it doesn't end up on your credit reports?

The answer to both of these questions is: they don't. Your creditors report information, the credit bureaus record it, and for most people, the story ends there.

Nobody at the credit bureaus or in the government is going to make sure your credit reports are accurate. The way the credit reporting system is set up, there is only one person who will ever bother to check up on your credit reports - and that person is you. You are the missing, and ultimately the most important, piece of the credit reporting puzzle.

Making sure your credit score is where it should be is your responsibility and repairing your credit reports is a task you will have to initiate because no one out there will do it for you.

It is your right and your responsibility to dispute the questionable negative items in your credit reports and the sooner you start, the better. You can work to repair your credit on your own or you can enlist the help of a credit repair law firm like Lexington Law.

Whether you attempt to repair your credit on your own or with the help of a credit repair expert, by taking an active role in the credit reporting system, you can ensure your credit score is as good as it can be and that you have the advantage over the millions of people out there with bad credit who haven't taken action to do anything about it.

South Carolina Real Estate

by Lee Keadle
Many buyers search for South Carolina real estate but don't know where exactly in the state to live. I've listed below 5 of the most popular places to relocate in South Carolina.

Columbia is South Carolina's capital, and a lot of people choose to live here. It's centrally located to the beach and the mountains. It's one of the biggest cities in the state, and the population has grown to just over 120,000. Some of the biggest employers in the area are the University of South Carolina, the state government, and the hospital systems. Columbia (and Greenville) are the most affordable places to live in South Carolina that are also relatively good sized cities.

Greenville is located at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains and has cooler weather than the coastal areas of South Carolina. It snows usually about once or twice a year in the uppermost part of the state, and Greenville is the largest city in the upstate. It has an estimate of about 60,000 residents. This area has seen some of the largest growth for non-coastal areas in South Carolina, and it's expected to grow even more in coming years. The city has plenty to do and lots of nice areas, but it's also considered an up and coming area simply because of its past and projected growth.

Myrtle Beach is one of the most popular tourist areas in South Carolina. Every year, more than 15 million people visit South Carolina's coast, and Myrtle Beach is at the top of the list of beaches, statistically speaking. Although a lot of people in Myrtle Beach live there year round, it's considered more of a vacation spot. You'll find putt-putt courses and beach shops sprinkled throughout the area. It also has a lot of large hotels and condo complexes right on the beach. Myrtle Beach is the most coastal city on this list. The residential population is estimated around 23,000.

Charleston is known for its history and culture. Its economy is also based largely on tourism, and it has started to make its way into the international tourism and real estate markets as it's become the cultural hub of the state. You'll find historic sites, museums, and art galleries throughout the main peninsula and surrounding areas. Charleston is considered more of an upscale port city and has 6 beaches along its coast (plus several islands and towns further inland). Charleston is comparable to Columbia in size, at just under 118,000.

Hilton Head does not attract as many tourists, and it's known as a smaller and quieter coastal area. The AARP often lists Hilton Head in its top places to retire, but you'll find a mix of people there. Its population is estimated at about 33,000. Real estate prices are relatively high, as the town has strict development and commercial guidelines. The town incorporated these rules in an effort to preserve the natural setting that people associate with Hilton Head.

Beach Houses in Charleston SC

by Lee Keadle

Looking for beach real estate in the Charleston, SC area? You'll find 6 beaches in Charleston to choose from, and each one has a different feel to it.

Folly Beach is one of the most popular for residents and tourists. This is partly because it's the most accessible beach to downtown Charleston. It's also the most affordable for vacation rentals and for buying real estate. Overall, Folly Beach has a laid back feel to it, and it's the most popular beach for students and surfers. You'll find plenty of restaurants, bars, and beach shops along Center Street, so there's no need to leave the island to go out. But, if you want to drive to downtown Charleston, you're only about 15 minutes away.

Isle of Palms also sees a big demand from home buyers. It's the main beach that Mt. Pleasant residents visit, and it also sees a good deal of tourism. So, if you're looking for vacation home that you can rent out for vacationers, either of these beaches would be good for getting this additional income. Part of the island belongs to Wild Dunes Resort (see below), so not all of the island is accessible to the residents. Isle of Palms is 15-20 minutes from downtown Charleston, so you can easily go downtown for entertainment. Mt. Pleasant is about a 5 minute drive, so there are a lot of things to do within a quick drive of the beach.

Wild Dunes Resort is a private beach resort located on the northern end of Isle of Palms. Wild Dunes has great amenities, including several golf courses. You'll find a few restaurants (like a grill and a deli), but for the most part, residents leave the resort and go to either Mt. Pleasant or downtown Charleston. If you're looking for high end beach real estate with a close proximity to downtown, Wild Dunes may be a good option for you.

Sullivan's Island is located just south of the Isle of Palms, so it also is conveniently located to Mt. Pleasant and downtown Charleston. It's the most historic beach in Charleston, and it's mostly made up of houses. You'll find only a few condo buildings on the island. There are some beautiful older homes - some date back to the early 1900s. You'll also see newer homes, and these can be found more on the beach side of the island. There are only a couple of restaurants at the entrance of the island, so most residents and visitors leave the island for entertainment. Although Sullivan's Island has public beach accesses (like Folly Beach and Isle of Palms), it has a nicer feel to it. It's also considerably more expensive than these two beaches.

Kiawah Island is one of the most exclusive beaches in Charleston. It has the best amenities of any of the beaches - world class tennis facilities and golf courses, pools, a spa, and upscale restaurants. There is one public access on the southern tip of Kiawah. It is part of the Charleston County Parks, and has paid admission. Besides these park-goers, access is restricted to property owners and vacationers who are renting homes on the island. Kiawah is located further out from downtown Charleston - it's about a 30 to 40 minute drive.

Seabrook Island is very similar to Kiawah in that it's a private beach resort, and it's located directly south of Kiawah. It also has great golf and tennis amenities, but it also has an equestrian center. This is one of only a few community equestrian facilities in all of Charleston. Kiawah and Seabrook have the priciest beach real estate in Charleston and have a high status associated with the areas. They are also the most natural of the beaches. They have very strict building guidelines in an effort to preserve the wildlife and natural beauty of the islands.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Reunion Show

We all eagerly anticipated the reunion show of the Real Housewives of Atlanta. It’s always interesting to find out what everyone was feeling and thinking after seeing themselves on television and hearing what the other housewives were saying behind their backs. And if you listened closely to the Real Housewives of Atlanta Reunions show you would have found out a lot of interesting tidbits.

Kim of the Real Housewives of Atlanta actually said that her album will be out in January. I hope she realizes that she will eventually have to sing live. Kim also hinted at a Season 2 of the Real Housewives of Atlanta and said that we might find out who Big poppa is. She also made a fool out of herself with that I have cancer, no wait I don’t have cancer story.

You also noticed on the Real Housewives of Atlanta Reunion show how Nene was very quick to point out that Big Poppa was married and that he was not going through a divorce. And she immediately squashed Kim’s I was real sick and lost a lot of weight story.

Sheree tried to come off as if she weren’t part of any of the drama on the Real Housewives of Atlanta. And it almost seemed like she was trying to distance herself from the others. I’m sorry but Sheree is so phony and I’m glad Nene didn’t tolerate it on the reunion show. She called her on it and I thought that was hilarious. What happened with Sheree is that she didn’t like the way she was portrayed on the Real Housewives of Atlanta. But they can only work with what they’re given Sheree, and your essence came out and it wasn’t so nice.

Tiny little Lisa is a spitfire. Who knew? She did not like what Kim was saying and she threatened to flip Kim over the couch. I didn’t see that one coming.

Sheree said she hoped to have her line out in the fall of 2009, which means that there’s a hitch somewhere. She also was quiet at this reunion show. Rumor has it that her excessive spending on the Real Housewives of Atlanta and her constant settlement talk has caused some trouble in her divorce proceedings.

A viewer from home asked if Nene was a former stripper. And she didn’t confirm or deny it but she was proud to point out that she currently strips for her husband Greg all the time. And why shouldn’t she? And if she was a stripper, so what?

Thank you Bravo TV for bringing your cameras to Atlanta, Georgia. The Real Housewives of Atlanta had many of us glued week after week. We’re hoping for a Season 2.

Season Finale of the Real Housewives of Atlanta

On the Season finale of the Real Housewives of Atlanta what we saw was in which direction the housewives were headed in.

Sheree of the Real Housewives of Atlanta is still on her quest for the 7 figure lump settlement from her ex-husband. She met with Michael Knight of Project Runway to get some advice after her unforgettable fashion viewing of her line SHE by Sheree. And what it boiled down to was she was doing it all wrong. We were witnessing karma right in front of our very own eyes.

Lisa’s husband was signed to the Oakland Raiders. So there would be some lifestyle adjustments for her. Her goal was to try to get all of the housewives talking again. DeShawn’s life was so boring I can’t even recap it.

Kim was told by Dallas Austin that she needed country singing boot camp. But I could tell by her expression that she didn’t want to work that hard for it. She wanted it handed to her like everything else we seen her receive on the Real Housewives of Atlanta. What I thoughts was funny was when Kim said Nene knew not to step out of line because she would beat her ass first. Are you kidding me? Only if Big poppa paid someone to fight for her could she kick Nene’s ass. But thanks for the laugh, Kim.

Nene was exactly who she said she was throughout the whole season. I liked how she put Kim in her place at their final dinner together. She did make her look small.

Here are a few of my personal observations of the women of the Real Housewives of Atlanta. It didn’t seem like Sheree was a stranger to the stripper pole. I think she wanted to show off some of her stuff. Sheree is on the market again. Am I Right?

Kim has one of the worst hair weaves I’ve ever seen. It’s a pet peeve of mine when women have money and their hair doesn’t look good. Raise your hands if anyone thinks Kim is under 30? If she is she’s had a hard life and that’s all I’m going to say about it. Doesn’t it just look like Nene whipped it good on her husband Greg?

All in all the real housewives of Atlanta proved to be quite entertaining. And that’s all you should take from reality television shows such as these.

Don’t forget to watch next weeks the Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion show. Just from the previews it looks like it’s going to be scandalous.

Finding Charleston Style Homes in Charleston, SC

By Lee Keadle

Few cities in the country have a style of house all their own. The Chicago bungalow and the Cape Cod are two styles that come to mind for having specific architecture associated with the area. In Charleston, SC, you'll find what's called the Charleston single. This is a single family house that is not very wide but is very long, and they're usually two to three stories. Residents started building these homes in the 1700s in downtown Charleston. Land was being sold at a premium, and these homes were designed to fit on smaller lots. The idea was to build up rather than out, so you'll see some historic homes in downtown Charleston with as many as five stories!

There are so many of these homes are available to home buyers in downtown Charleston. So, if you're looking to buy an authentic Charleston styled home and you're in a higher price range, this is the ideal area to start your home search. You can find beautifully restored Charleston singles, many of which can be linked back to Charleston's rich history. For example, lots of these homes are listed on various state and national registers of historic homes and some are featured in books about Charleston's history.

If you're looking for the Charleston look but want a newer home, you'll find so many options throughout the Charleston area. Because this style of home is in high demand from buyers, new neighborhoods built in the Charleston style have been popping up in areas from James Island to Summerville!

The most famous of these neighborhoods is I'on. This is a nationally known neighborhood located in Mt. Pleasant, and this is as close as it gets to downtown Charleston style homes. Many of these homes have the final Charleston touches, too, such as operable shutters, beautiful brickwork designs, and gas lighting at the entrance. The main downfall of I'on is that it's as expensive as the homes in downtown Charleston. But, if you're in this price range anyway (say, $700K plus), and you don't want to live downtown but still want the feel of it, I'on may be the neighborhood for you!

There are plenty of more affordable options for Charleston styled homes, so don't worry if your budget is in the $200-500K range. On James Island, you'll find the Charleston style neighborhoods Westfield Place, Eaglewood Retreat, Jamestowne Village, and Lakeside Village. On Johns Island you'll find Barberry Woods, the Villages in St. Johns Woods, and Rushland Plantation. In Mt. Pleasant there is Rivertowne on the Wando, Grassy Creek, Chadbury Village, The Village subsection of Park West, and Hamlin Plantation. West Ashley has Schieveling Plantation and McLaura Bluff, and Summerville has White Gables (which is the most affordable option on this list).

Whether you want an authentic Charleston style home in downtown Charleston or a newly built home in a convenient location, you'll find a lot of options to choose from!

Out of Tune The Real Housewives of Atlanta

On the Real Housewives of Atlanta Lisa, Nene and their husbands helped Eric Snow celebrate DeShawn’s birthday. At DeShawn’s birthday dinner things got a little personal after Nene had one too many drinks. She began talking about Sheree, but the real surprise that night was her comments about Kim. Nene began singing a not-so-nice song about Kim’s singing career. This performance made Ed and Lisa Hartwell extremely uncomfortable.

I believe Nene was lashing out because she felt Kim was riding the fence. She wanted Kim to choose between her and Sheree. I’m very leery about this budding friendship between Kim and Sheree on The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

So what made Kim start to lean more towards Sheree? I believe its social climbing. Right now it appears that Sheree has more things going on socially and a woman like Kim who has a Big Poppa knows which circles she should be in.

Doesn’t Kim remember how after Nene was humiliated at Sheree’s party she still showed up the following day to Kim’s daughters’ party? She was cordial and respectful of the fact that it was Kim’s daughters’ day to shine. How soon they forget on The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Has anyone noticed how Sheree treats DeShawn? Every time DeShawn calls Sheree, she acts like she doesn’t know who she is? She has to keep repeating herself until finally Sheree puts two and two together. I feel embarrassed for her. Sheree is not your friend girl.

The moment of truth for Kim finally arrived. Can she sing or can’t she? Obviously if you watched that episode you would know that she cannot. How sad. Kim couldn’t take any constructive criticism from Miss Jan who has worked with such greats as Whitney Houston. She had an excuse for everything.

If I should see a CD in the stores with Kim’s face on it, I will fall down on the floor and remain there until someone hauls me away.

Who’s Your Poppa and Bring on the Bling – The Real Housewives of Atlanta

In the following episodes of the The Real Housewives of Atlanta a lot of interesting things took place. Nene received a letter from one of her family members who claimed that Curtis the man she knew as her father wasn’t really her biological father. This is shocking news to Nene who seeks counsel from a dear family member who tells her not to worry about it and brushes it off. But this doesn’t squelch Nene’s need to know. She places a call to Curtis to find out if he ever suspected that he wasn’t her father. To Nene’s surprise he had suspected this even before she was born. So after some contemplation Nene decides the best thing to do is to take a DNA test to find out the truth.

On the Real Housewives of Atlanta we also find out that we have some hidden talent in this group of women. Kim wants to be a country singer. Who saw that coming? But why is everyone shocked when she admits this. Not one of The Real Housewives of Atlanta knew about this. Nene even stated she never even heard the girl hum. Ding, ding, ding bells went off in my head. A singer who never sings? Something is very fishy about that. Have you ever known someone who wanted to be a singer? You can’t get them the shut up. Am I right?

Deshawn Snow of The Real Housewives of Atlanta was determined to pull off one of the biggest fundraisers in Atlanta for her foundation. Her goal was to raise one million dollars in one night. Keep in mind that this is her first time ever hosting an event this huge. Immediately, in The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s private takes we see how none of the housewives thought this would be possible, and definitely not in one night. But none of the housewives expressed this to her directly. Nene thought her goals were unrealistic, but she chose to be there for her and support her. Sheree just chose to talk about it behind her back. Sheree had the perfect opportunity to tell Deshawn when she asked her to participate in the auction. She didn’t want to participate because she felt things weren’t going to go well and she didn’t want to be a part of that. Because we all know how important she is, wink wink. It was like she was waiting for an I-told-you- so moment.

On a more positive note Lisa of The Real Housewives of Atlanta business ventures were taking off in the right direction. Lisa landed a distribution deal with jewelry mogul, Steven Zale.

Foreclosure is imminent so would it be possible to walk away from your home?

Are you one of many that is facing or considering foreclosure on your home? Have you ever heard about walking away from your home? I haven’t heard of this concept until I discovered this company called YouWalkAway.

Imagine being able to stay in your home for eight months or more and not having to pay a penny. They can help stop those harassing phone calls from mortgage companies. This service will provide a personalized plan just for you. You get a consultation with a real estate attorney in your state and you may even receive up to $5000 dollars towards your moving expenses. And what I found that was instrumental is that you get a YouWalkaway advocate to assist you throughout the entire process.

They offer a Forensic Loan Document Review to investigate your existing loan agreement. This technique is used to comb through your loan document with a fine tooth comb. They are looking for anything that that isn’t in line with the Truth in Lending Act that you signed. If something isn’t correct, something as little as being overcharged on your final Hud-1 document there might be a violation. This violation can give you some leverage when applying for a Home Loan Modification to improve your existing loan. In order to work with homeowners because of a hardship the lender may modify the existing loan.

You will need Foreclosure Protection to make sure that your lender follows all the laws in your state. Foreclosing on a home is a very strict procedure. It’s important to have someone on your side to help make sure that none of your rights are being violated.

YouWalkaway has been featured in several publications and news programs such as ABC News Now and CNBC. What I like about this program is that they offer a 100% Money back guarantee if you are not satisfied.

If you think this might be something for you weigh your options, investigate, and find out if you qualify. And remember always be smart in whatever you do.

Showmars Casual Dining Fast a Restaurant Review

Showmars restaurant a staple here in Charlotte, North Carolina has more than 25 locations in Charlotte and the surrounding areas. This Greek inspired restaurant serves up delicious fast food in a casual dining environment.

There are 27 locations within Charlotte and its surrounding cities. Only two of the Showmars restaurants are franchises. Which is unique in itself and that’s why Showmars food and customer service is consistent at all locations. I have frequented several locations and the ones that stand out are the Dilworth and the Fort Mill location.

My Showmars favorites are the fresh flounder dinner and the gyro dinner and the Greek salad. The calabash shrimp dinner is an extremely popular item. The plates overflow with nice big pieces of shrimp.

Sandwiches you must try are Fresh Filet Fish sandwich, gyro, Grilled chicken pita, and the Old fashion pita burger. Showmars restaurant has the best fish sandwich in town. You’ll love their salads especially the Greek salads with grilled chicken or gyro meat.

Showmars has one of the most attentive and friendliest staffs. They take pride in their restaurants. Managers greet you at the door. They want you to have a pleasant experience so you’ll come back and again. And I do just that.

But no matter how nice the staff is you wouldn’t come back if the food wasn’t delicious. And Showmars exceeds your expectations.

Showmars restaurants pride itself in a fun friendly atmosphere which serves fresh cooked to order food at reasonable prices. Plus, they give you generous portions. I have to admit that Showmars delivers every time.

If you’re new to the Charlotte Area you need to pay them a visit as soon as you can. And if you’re passing through make this one of your stops.

I have three categories in which I put a dining experience in.
1. Recommended – Meaning I would eat there again and recommend it to others.
2. Toss up – Means you have to decide for yourself by visiting the establishment.
3. Drive By – Means keep on driving pass the restaurant.

So which category does Showmars fall in? I would have to say Recommended.

Until next time Bon appétit!

I Voted Early

I am a procrastinator by nature and ashamed of it. One of my resolutions year after year is to work on that. And to everyone’s surprise even my own I managed to vote early this year. Isn’t that sweet?

My fiancé was getting on me about waiting so long to vote. We made a pack to vote together and every other day I had a reason as to why I couldn’t go vote that day. But Wednesday morning I jolted awake at 8:15am ready to vote. I was pumped, excited and patting myself on the back. I felt like such a wonderful citizen doing her civic duty.

But maybe if this wonderful citizen had read the fine print she would know the voting polls didn’t open until 11am at the public libraries.

So here I am at the library 9:23 in the morning feeling all special and smart. Only to see that a little line had already begun to form inside.

So immediately my fiancé and I devised a plan on how we we’re going to save our places in line, juggle our toddler and stay positive and not want to say forget it and return to our warm home.

We did it! We did it! As Dora the Explorer would say.

I voted early! And I feel like I have done my part and kept my commitment to my candidate. Don’t let anything keep you away from the polls this year.

Vote!

The Real Housewives of Atlanta – Sheree and Nene

In the first episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta the focus is on Sheree who is planning to throw herself the most lavish, not-to-miss party that Atlanta has seen. Immediately we know it’s all about Sheree and no one else.

In this episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta we also find out that there is some looming tension between Sheree and Nene. Tonight’s big question on The Real Housewives of Atlanta is whether or not Nene will be invited to Sheree’s birthday party?

While Sheree is mulling that over we get a glimpse of Kim talking to her mystery multi-millionaire dollar man who leaves her wanting for nothing. Imagine renting a nice luxury vehicle and then coming home and calling “Big poppa” and telling him that’s what you would like to purchase today. It must be nice.

In between cracking her whip, Sheree decides she is going to invite Nene to her birthday bash. The evening of Sheree’s party Kim and Nene decide to arrive fashionably late, but there’s one little hitch in their plans. When they arrive they soon find out that Nene’s name is not on the guest list. How can you be one of The Real Housewives of Atlanta if your name is not on the list?

Nene is totally embarrassed because the security guards are acting like the Queen of England is in the living room. At any moment I thought they were going to tackle her to the floor.

Now when this situation was brought to Sheree’s attention I thought she handled it badly. Being that there was an existing situation between Sheree and Nene instead of sending her assistant to tell security to let her in. She should have walked her pampered legs upstairs and personally apologized for the mix up. That’s what a classy lady would have done. But not Sheree she continued to party brushing it off as if it weren’t a big deal.

Kudos to Kim who stood by Nene’s side, she refused to go in the party if Nene wasn’t let in. Now you know some of your trashier girlfriends would have given you the piece sign as they slipped on in.

Now Nene I know you were upset and yes it did seem like it was done deliberately. But the world is watching The Real Housewives of Atlanta we can’t be potty mouths on television. Stay tuned for some more comments and observations.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta The Introductions

When Bravo TV decided to do the Real Housewives of Atlanta I thought I would give it a try. Now, I do television recaps sometimes, but the Real Housewives of Atlanta isn’t really the kind of television show you recap. I would say the Real Housewives of Atlanta is something you observe and comment on. But let’s first introduce you to the Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Our first real housewife of Atlanta is Lisa Wu Hartwell who is married to NFL player Ed Hartwell and owns her own real estate firm among other things.

Our second real housewife of Atlanta is Deshawn Snow who is married to NBA player Eric Snow of the Cleveland Cavaliers. She heads up The Deshawn Snow foundation.

Our third real housewife of Atlanta is Nene Leakes who is married to Gregg Leakes a successful real estate investor. And she is the founder of The Twisted Hearts Foundation.

Kim Zolciak is a single mother living well in Atlanta. She is currently dating someone who wants to remain anonymous. I wonder why?

Sheree Whitfield our soon to be ex-housewife is currently in the process of divorcing Ex NFL player Bob Whitfield.

Here are my first impressions of each of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

I thought Sheree was self absorbed, materialistic and shallow. She is so money hungry and has a desire to be envied. Deshawn immediately rubbed me the wrong way. I felt her staff was too extensive and it just didn’t seem like she needed all the help she claimed she needed. But in her defense I don’t live her life she may actually need all her servants.

Kim just screamed out “kept woman” to me. Her looks are her tools in life and maintaining them is absolutely necessary to live as she is accustomed to. Lisa seems like a hard worker and yes she is blessed to be married to a man that can take care of her. But I think that’s just a bonus because she could do It all by herself.

I like Nene she is a real as they come. You can tell right away that she has a big heart. She’s a little brash and outspoken but she’s the hot sauce in this Atlanta Mix. Stay tuned for some more comments and observations.
