American Idol Contestant Scotty McCreery is Putting Garner, NC On The Map!
I have never watched American Idol, WHAT!!! It's true I have never sat through an American Idol episode, I'd rather eat nails! But I am aware of this Garner, NC native Scotty McCreery who is thrilling the whole of North Carolina with his singing on the show. He is well know in my office Coldwell Banker Howard Perry & Walston in Garner in fact Jackie Brown one of our top Agents knows him personally as his mom is a Realtor.
This was planted outside our office this week, it's interesting that the Town of Garner appears to have waived their sign ordinances for Scotty. My sign would not have lasted this long. So people are now coming to Garner to see where Scotty McCreery comes from, his school, etc. There was a girl here the other day who got off I95 on her way to Florida to check out the town.
When I lived in Dublin I met a number of foreigners who were on a Bono pilgrimige who would find his house, (not easy) and hang out hoping to catch a glimpse of the star. It could be Scotty may need a fence and security for a while.
I wonder if he makes it to the end will I have to watch a full episode? Now that I'm an American Idol expert haven't there been a couple of other NC natives win on the show?
More Nails Please!!!
I wish him Luck...... GO SCOTTY!

David,
Rather eat nails?
My wife and I are AI fans.
We love your boy Scotty. He is so unassuming, very real, and that voice! Oh My!!
He took the stage this week with "Swinging on the Porch", which was just the most fun, playful song I have heard for a while.
Hope he wins!

My wife watches that darn thing every week. When it's on you don't talk to her until a commercial break and she doesn't take any phone calls. Until this series I didn't watch it either. Now when Scotty comes on she calls me and I watch him only and then go back into the office. Win or lose he is a millionaire with that voice
The way the community has come together to support the Trojan Nation is very cool - stopped calling them Garner Grits while the show is on! 8o)
Thanks, David - this is cool!
Hi David,
We have a loacl gal too. Haley is from a town 10 minutes away, another Chicago suburb, but I don't think she'll win. My bet is on James, but love Scotty's style and those deep tones.
