Back some 23 years ago I graduated from college at NC State and moved from North Carolina to Rock Hill, SC. At the time I had never heard of Rock Hill even though it was just a few miles south of Charlotte, NC. Since moving here it has amazed me at all the "transplants" to this wonderful community. Over the years Rock Hill has grown in large part to the reputation of Winthrop University, employment opportunities and the proximity of Charlotte where people desire living in an area that is close to a big city without the traffic and big taxes. I love meeting people that have stumbled upon this place I call home and it is always fascinating to find out how people end up settling in Rock Hill. My husband moved from Virginia to Rock Hill and loves it and when our children visit they always talk about the wonderful things that Rock Hill has to offer.

Location is why we call Rock Hill Home
When potential homeowners are looking to buy a property one factor that has been embedded in them is location, location, location. This is key and certainly an important factor that should be consider when purchasing a home or property. One of the reasons we chose Rock Hill, SC as our home is the close proximity to Charlotte, NC and all the amenities that come with a large city. If we drive to Uptown Charlotte it takes less than 30 minutes depending on traffic. Since the lightrail has opened we really use this form of transportation more that driving all the way into Updown. For just $3 for a roundtrip we park at I485 and South Boulevard and take the lightrail if we are going to a Carolina Panthers game, a Charlotte Bobcats game, the Blumenthal Theater for a show or even to some of the many bars and restaurants in Uptown such as Cosmos, Whiskey River, Blue, Merts Soul Food and so many more. We prefer living in a small college town like Rock Hill so we feel we have the best of both worlds with all the NCAA Sports Winthrop University offers and also the unique shopping experiences, however we have the luxury of large city living if we prefer to head that way. Can’t go wrong as long as you know about location, location, location.
Winthrop University Jazz Ensemble
What a treat we experienced tonight. We attended the fall concert of the Winthrop University Jazz Ensemble and what a tremendous group of talented individuals who will blow you away with their skill and passion for music. The music selections were great and really showcased all of the musicians that made up the jazz ensemble. It was evident that every musician in the group has a love for music and they enjoy the whole jazz experience. The recital hall was packed and it was great to see so many students from the Northwestern Marching Band in attendance. York County should be proud of the number of students from our area performing in this ensemble. The concert was free and the caliber and quality of music performed tonight was absolutely incredible. We can't wait for the spring concert. Watch for the dates in March when Northwestern High School will host a day of jazz discovery and the featured performers during this day will include the Winthrop University Jazz Ensemble. We have heard so much about the tremendous music program at Winthrop and it was special to attend such a remarkable performance. Hats off to all the performers tonight because you all were fantastic! Just another reason we enjoy living in Rock Hill.
