"Red" is signing off.
I wrote my last "Out of the Red" column for yesterday's MoneyWise section. After 10 years as a business writer -- the last three with the "Red" column and last two also with this blog -- I wanted to try something new. I am going to write about the Charlotte region's newcomers and what makes the area a unique place to live.
I will miss "Red." I learned about personal finance -- mine and yours -- and hope you did too.
Click here to read my final column.
Also on Sunday, I wrote about what some people are doing with their tax rebates and what financial pros say you should do with that found money. Click here to read that story.
Stay tuned for my newcomers column, which will start next month, and my newcomers blog, which is coming soon. Are you new to Charlotte or have a newcomer-related question or story idea? If so, let me know. My contact info remains the same: abaldwin@charlotteobserver.com, 704-358-5179.
Red Im sorry to see you go . You did a great job on this subject; I think NEWCOMER is a risky job but a rewarding one also; I like LIEGH DYERS upbeat version but Charlotte is a short subject because it really isa working city and not tourism yet; I just got back from Charleston , SC and never realized how much they have going for it untill now; The eating capital the panramic veiws. They are building high end condos on the BAY . Many things you can get to Hitlon Head , Savannah and the gateway to FLORIDA.
