LOCAL BUSINESS -  Golden Grill has opened in the building on Madison Blvd across from Lowes Foods.  They have completely remolded the building and changed from a buffet style to a sit-down meal.  They also are serving beer and wine.  Bonnie and I have eaten lunch there a couple of times and it was very fine!  They have a large selection of daily menu items including soup, entrée and rice with most having mixed vegetables.

 

Several local restaurants are offering Valentine specials this weekend so check out the Courier=Times for those.

Many Daytona 500 Parties this weekend so get out and watch this great race Sunday.  Green flag drops around 3:30.

 

The Castaways will appear at Vesuvio’s II Club V-2 on March 20

 

 

CELL TOWER UPDATE – I talked to the independent cell tower operator this week about the status of the cell tower his was planning to move out of Cary to Hyco Lake.  The tower is still standing in Cary waiting on the completion of paperwork (bureaucracy).  The operator still has plans to locate the tower at Hyco and has received favorable feedback from cellular operators who would co-locate if the tower were available.  With the economy in slowdown, it is good to hear that some expansion is still going forward!

 

As a sideline, I am on a committee working to bring high speed Internet to all parts of Person County.  Hopefully the latest Economic Recovery Package the Feds are working on will trickle down here to rural America!  Providing high speed Internet to Person County is doable – it just takes money to expand to the less dense populated areas. 

 

ADVISORY –  Be sure to shop local to keep our dollars working to support our local businesses.  With the economic slowdown, it is important for us to spend our dollars with the locally owned stores.  Market data reflects that money spent in locally owned stores gets returned 5-fold to the community where out of town owned stores result in a fraction return locally.  Help keep your friends in a job, taxes low and services continued by shopping with local merchants.

 

 

PERSONAL FAVORITE –  We’re constantly adding new vendors and services to our database so if you need a service that has been recommended by a customer, check out the list.  You can search for services at this link: Looking for Area Services – Click here.

 

 

ADVERTISER HIGHLIGHT – Each newsletter, we highlight a paid advertiser on the www.hycolake.com website.  If it were not for these paid advertisements, the site would not be dynamic as it is and provide local information for Hyco Lake and Person County.  Please support the advertisers! 

 

No better time to buy a house, land or other real estate.  Prices are low, money is available and spring is coming!  I hear local banks have plenty of money to loan at interest rates lower than ever.

 

HYCO LAKE MAGAZINE - There is a company working on bringing a magazine to the area highlighting Hyco Lake and the area.  There are so many things going on in the area especially in the summer, the people involved believe there is a need that can be filled with the magazine.  Smith Mountain Lake has such a magazine – you can see a online version at this link: www.smithmountainlaker.com More news later on the magazine.

 

There are also some great lake properties available so check out the Realtor links on the left side of our homepage at:  www.hycolake.com
