  • I am glad they set the record straight. I was one of those people that thought badly of the "catching couple" but now I see the truth of it it makes me mad that media has made them out to be that way. No telling what their friends, family and co-workers thought of it.

  • The hoity toities in Ballantyne are not far from some really nice areas in SC as well. To infer that everything South of the NC border is backwoods isn't correct by any means. There are a few down trodden looking areas here in Charlotte and North, West and East as well.
