Sorry - didn't see the post. :cheers2: I have lived here for about 2.5 yrs. Moved from NE OH as my job relocated me here (we are now moving to ATL in May). Everyone here is from MI, OH, PA or upstate NY. We wouldn't be leaving if it wasn't such a good career move for me to move again...
LKN is awesome as far as place to live. We lived in Cornelius in the apartments across from Mid Town Sundries (Bexley at Harborside) until we found a place and had it built in Concord (on the Davidson Concord boarder - Moss Creek is the development). Cost of living is good, lake is nice, deep, clear and warm. People are great and the people around seem very nice.
Let me know some specifics for questions. I don't much about living in Mooresville. The NASCAR guys are all over the place and are very cool guys.
I dry rack store my boat at Westport Marina in Denver. The best place to drink on the lake is the Rusty Rudder and the best place to eat (bar food) is Exit 36 Billiards. Best place to eat (fine dining) is NorthePoint Harbor Club. All water accessible.
I don't know what kind of hardware you are dealing with - but it may be tough to go on long stretches of 100 mph runs... Lake can get kind of crowded on weekends and isn't a ton of long straight stretches.
Hope this helps. :cheers2:
