Had enough political ads on television? Just wait. It is not even October! Never thought your Around Davidson correspondent would wish for the return of those tiresome pharmaceutical pitches, but at the moment they would be a welcome relief to the mud slinging!
Davidson, however, has lots of activities to keep us away from the easy chair in front [...]

Around Davidson’s camera caught a few fall blooms at Carolina Cones which also offers pansies, fall foundation plants and accessories of all kinds. Always worth a stop to see what’s new for the garden while you enjoy [...]

We learned this week about the town’s expenditure of $50,000 for yet another plan addressing development. Around Davidson hopes the town will plan on addressing the repair of an ever-larger body-jarring, axle-wrenching pothole on Jackson Street at the entrance to the post office parking lot. Any money left for a little asphalt?
Street maintenance aside, this week’s Around Davidson brings [...]

Rain, Glorious Rain! Finally we are getting enough to really soak the ground. Area gardens, lawns, soybeans, pastures, ponds and lakes say thank you for every drop! Let’s hope this week’s moisture makes a real dent in our serious drought conditions. At least the downpours waited Monday until Davidson youngsters boarded those big yellow buses [...]

It’s the last week before the public schools are back in session, a good time to sleep in, sit back, enjoy the late night Olympics broadcasts, and prepare for Monday’s onslaught of big yellow school buses. This week, we also welcome members and families of Davidson College’s Class of 2012. Good-bye to parking on Main [...]

Last week DavidsonNews.net gave the scantily clad “Bikini Babes” lots of press, so it’s only fitting that Around Davidson offer the scantily clad “Man of the Week”: Vick McKinney.

The dog days of summer have descended upon us but that does not mean everyone is staying indoors standing on the air conditioning vent. There is lots to report from new twin grandbabies to a new employee at our public library. The “Bikini Babes” are creating quite a stir at the Town Hall and Swimming [...]

DavidsonNews.net has one to add to anyone’s “Bucket List” - The Alberti Flea Circus! Jim Alberti graced the Davidson Public Library with his presence last Thursday and captivated a [...]

Kate Minogue
Almost the end of July and although real estate is pretty slow in Davidson, we are seeing evidence of U-Hauls and moving vans taking some families to new adventures in other towns and bringing new faces to our community. In one instance, with tears in our eyes, we say good-bye to Kate Minogue who [...]
