With these construction projects, they come with a HUGE price tag, mainly the acquisition of property and the physical construction costs.  The upper portion of 540 has been done and open for nearly 2 years.  As construction is completed, it is opened for traffic.  As time goes on, the costs have escalated and there was a suggestion of opening up as a toll road.  The citizens have balked but the decision has been made, the toll road is now open, but tolled only on the lower portion.

When the entire route is complete, this home will be within a mile of an exit ramp, creating a huge reselling point.  This homeowner will have a price tag goldmine of a home.

Regardless of where this house is located, this will be a wonderful home for a family to have their life!

Years ago, I was in outside sale for a company that sold blinds.  I went out and met clients, measured and quoted prices.  I knew the Triangle inside and out.  Back roads were my passion, I could get from here to there without going on a major road.  Knew where all the subdivisions were and the back entrances too.  Needless to say that was from 1993-1996.  Did the stay-at-home Mom thing and now that I am out and about more, what a shock!

I got totally lost in Heritage, the address was not on Google Maps nor could any site agent in Heritage tell me where this new construction was.  I had to hang my head low and call the buying agent that contracted me.  Lesson learned for me!  Find where the street is BEFORE you leave home!

The track was nearly 2 miles, but shortening the track to 1.25 miles or 2km and adding the signature spires, brought the location to the forefront of racing standards.  The public adored the signature event that was the first Saturday in May.  The world focuses it’s attention on women’s fashion (especially the hats) and the championship race horses.  This event is marked with history, pomp and circumstance.

The track is used nearly year-round, including the running of the Kentucky Oaks, concerts, food events, training sessions, educational classes and hundreds of other horse races.

You can buy this item at the Kentucky Derby Museum Gift Shop for $32.00 plus tax and shipping.

This large home in Preston, had a family dog that was 16 years old. He was on his second round of chemo and it was a lost cause. The vet recommended euthanasia. The yellow lab was depicted in his younger years, as the owner needed to remember a happier time with “Freddy”.These deer were a sore subject for this home owner. Living on a large piece of land in West Virginia, he adored the deer, grazing in the field at dawn and dusk. The deer also adored his prize rosebushes. When his daughter commissioned this birthday present for her Father, she wanted to be sure I added the deer, it was a love/hate relationship.A historic barn is not a real barn until it has an animal in it. The Sears property in Cary had a historic barn for nearly 100 years. This barn housed a many horses, all descendants of the original Ghostbuster. This barn was scheduled to be demolished. The owner, Bill Sears, my former employer, was building an assisted living facility on the property and needed to make way. He used the image for family Christmas cards for 2 year and now has a forever image of Ghostbuster and his barn.As soon as I say Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby, the first thing that comes to mind is HORSES. I had to draw some racing jockeys mounted on their steeds as they round the first corner of the track. This banner is for sale at the store on-site for Churchill Downs.I am not opposed to sketching animals, it is just not my passion. Have some GREAT referral partners for that, Ingrid Beckman (pencil & pastel), and Jennifer Varela(oil & pastel).

Since construction for renovations began in 2002, Chicago’s Soldier Field has been a target of architectural controversy. Described by many as a resembling a UFO that landed on the old Soldier Field, the futuristic look has slowly gained at least partial acceptance from Chicagoans.

Although it did not become the permanent home to the Bears until 1971 (nearly 47 years after it opened), it is firmly seen as the home of the Bears. Soldier Field has hosted boxing title bouts, college football, soccer, and concerts, along with many more events over the years.

Today, fans can enjoy great seats throughout the stadium with views of the city, lake, and museum campus.

Opinions vary from person to person.  The architecture of the stadium is varied but it’s eclectic look is like Chicago!
