General Discussion A special message to those whose vacation was ruined by the beach renourishment project, on behalf of those residing in the Myrtle Beach area:

1.1k Upvotes

We don't care.

Maybe you haven't fucking noticed, but this is an area that is dependent on tourism. And the centerpiece of that tourism? The beach. 60 miles of pristine sands stretching from Little River to Georgetown.

And maybe you also haven't fucking noticed, but we get hit by tropical storms. And king tides. And sea level rise. And year after year? All that takes a toll. And if we lose the beaches, it endangers life, limb, and property.

This beach renourishment has been underway since last Fall. No, we are not going to stop it just because you are inconvenienced. This project is at the mercy of the availability of the extremely talented crews and equipment that the US Army Corps of Engineers have so graciously brought to our area.

Make no mistake, the view from your hotel room is not our fucking problem. You chose to come here without doing your due diligence. You are so diaper-rashed that you can't stand seeing a little bit of gear on the beach for 48 hours. You decided to whine to the people whose very livelihoods depends on the health of that beach.

I don't care if this hurts your feelings, but we really don't give a shit how you do things up north, we are not here to bend our lives to your ideals. This is our beach, we're just allowing you to use it.

So unless you plan on expressing your thanks for doing critical work to support the ecology of this place we love, I suggest you keep your fucking traps shut and move the fuck on. You will not be missed and you can be easily replaced.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

  • asked if the Corporal was on put on leave? they said “we do not discuss admin. Matters” How do you miss a pier that you know exists? And that you definitely know is actually in the area.

General Discussion Is Myrtle Beach a "dump"?

370 Upvotes

I'm visiting Myrtle Beach for the first time next month.

Someone I now who visited last year said it felt trashy and was a dump. Maybe they stayed in a bad spot? They used their timeshare right on the beach.

I've been reading that Myrtle proper can be kind of fun down, but North Myrtle is very nice and where to be.

Is there any truth to this?

General Discussion Had a white supremist try and run me off the road today. PLEASE STAY SAFE

67 Upvotes

Hi guys, I live in the area around Myrtle and I had a white supremac trying to run me off the road, and then when I pulled up next to him and asked him "WTH is wrong with you" he started doing the Nazi salute and screaming white power. Stay safe everybody. There are a lot of loonies out there.

And for those curious why he tried to run me off the road, my girlfriend is a black woman and was in the passenger seat also I have a anti ice and trump sticker on my car.

It’s gotta be exhausting to be this stupid and hateful. Puts the ass in classy for sure. A pro ice demonstration was held in front of the Conway Courthouse.

General Discussion Leaving Myrtle After 6 Months

223 Upvotes

Anyone else moved here with high hopes but quickly bailed?

Man, I really wish I toured the area more before moving here.

The beach and attractions are cool, but besides that, it feels like a zombie apocalypse wasteland here. Super slow paced, most of the area is ghetto and uninspiring, tons of grumpy retirees. I know I’m gonna get attacked for this, but curious if anyone else shares this same sentiment.

General Discussion Saw this in the ocean at Myrtle Beach, SC

Just wondering what this is. They were doing some type of construction at the beach on a live stream I was watching. I’ve never seen anything like it. It has long legs and a ladder the driver climbs up. They just drove it right out into the ocean lol.

By the time I got my phone to take a picture it was already coming back in. This thing went further out than what is shown here!

Any clue what this thing is used for? If I had actually been there I’d have walked up and asked!

Luckily we will be there come July!! Look forward to experiencing all of your lovely peoples town and beach!

General Discussion The aftermath of spirit airlines

96 Upvotes

I read that 30 percent of all Myrtle beach airport flights were spirit.

I understand that some of the airlines have picked up additional routes, but it’s nowhere the amount of used to be. Secondly, a lot of these airlines only offer seasonal service,

Has anyone heard any updates?

General Discussion Unbelievably Poor Healthcare In South Carolina!

90 Upvotes

I cannot believe how bad the healthcare system is in South Carolina for those of us in Chronic Pain who also have Anxiety Disorders and ADHD! It has literally been impossible for over 4+ YEARS NOW to find a single consistent doctor and psychiatrist and pharmacy that has been willing to treat me like a HUMAN BEING for one!

Let alone keep me on the same regimen of medications that I’ve been prescribed for 20 years that allow me to live my life and provide for my family!

This state is literally 50 years behind the Current Age, as a Doctor’s Receptionist literally just told me today!!!

General Discussion Treat your hospitality workers with respect. The world doesn’t revolve around you just bc ur on vacation.

176 Upvotes

As many of us know, the majority of jobs here available in MB are tourism/hospitality related.. so I cannot imagine how stressful the last few days have been for all of us combined.

Some of the people that vacation in this town are some of the nastiest, trashiest, selfish ppl I have ever seen. If you are kind to others (treating those who serve you & assist you during your stay here with respect and decency like a human being) then this doesn’t apply to you. Thank you for being a good person.

It is disgusting and degrading the way some of these tourists treat us. Verbal insults, physical threats of violence, and for what? For us to just take it and smile and continue to help you? For many of the young people here they go to school to get hospitality and tourism degrees with the dream of helping others in this career field. For some others this is the only job they can get. Regardless of what reason whether good or bad it doesn’t mean ppl should be degraded or feel endangered where they work!

Working in the hospitality industry in other states, I have never witnessed the truly delusional behavior tourists have in other places that I witness daily here. It is embarrassing to observe grown adults (and even their insufferable, entitled teenagers) disregard treating others with basic respect because someone works in customer service.

We are here to help you have fabulous vacations. We want you to be happy and continue to come back for family friendly fun or whatever. But it is hard to do when we are constantly being berated. So remember the next time you are mad, do not take it out on a hospitality worker or take it personally if that person doesn’t smile big enough for you. you have no idea what abuse that worker dealt with before having to assist you.

Remember, yall. If someone threatens to physically harm you call the police! Do not let these people intimidate you!
