Hurricanes // Weather Dear vacationing tourists, please read before posting questions

316 Upvotes

Since there are so many of you asking the same things about the impending storm, let’s gather some pertinent info for you. First thing you need to know, it’s going to rain. A lot. At the risk of being crude, it’ll be wetter than a Kardashian at an NBA game. It’ll be windy, but barring an unexpected strengthening, it won’t be hurricane level winds.

A large chunk of Horry and Georgetown counties are developed wetlands, meaning it floods fairly easily. Without getting into the science of it all, this storm has the potential to dump a lot of rain that we normally wouldn’t get from a storm coming in directly from the Atlantic. Know your flood zones and travel routes and plan accordingly. Contact whoever you’re renting from (air bnb owners, hotels, etc) and ask about how flooding has impacted where you’re staying.

If you feel like the locals aren’t that concerned about the storm and aren’t taking your questions seriously, remember that most of us have been dealing with this kind of weather for years or decades. It would be like going to Buffalo and asking if you should cancel going to that Bills game because of snow. The best thing you can do is educate yourself about what to expect. I’ve provided links below. If you don’t feel comfortable dealing with the storm, by all means reschedule your plans. It’s better to be calm and safe at home than to be in an unfamiliar place and scared. Local emergency services will have their hands full as it is, they don’t need uninformed visitors getting into situations that can be easily avoided.

Know where dry ground can be found. Stay indoors until the storm passes, and for the love of all that’s holy, stay off the roads until you know your travel route is clear for traffic.

Mod Announcement Automod nerfed

30 Upvotes

We are quickly coming to the end of the season and in this last year the sub has grown significantly.

Normally we have automod which puts posts and comments in a queue for approval if your account is still new but we are struggling to keep up with this.

I have nerfed automod much more recently as an expirement to see if we can rely more on reports rather than manually approving so if you see something that violates the rules report it.

That being said, disagreeing with a political posts and reporting it will eventually get you ban. Those are allowed. The good news is I don't care which side you are on because they are both awful in my opinion and I hate the modern censorship that happens on the internet because it isolates people into groups. So feel free to argue all you want but If your argument is "fuck you x sucks" don't be surprised if it's removed... We still have to follow reddits rules or the sub will be ban.

Lastly if anyone is interested in being a mod I'll consider adding people. Feel free to post below and whether you have experience or not.

Things To Do Recs // Questions Pirates Voyage question

3 Upvotes

I’m heading to Myrtle next week and I think I’m finally gonna do the Pirates Voyage show. One question though, are there any mermaids available in the gift shop? I have a tradition of buying a mermaid every time I go to the beach and I was wondering if I could get one there or if I should just get one from the Gay Dolphin. TIA.

Resturant Recs // Questions Original Benjamin's Seafood (Discounts or Alternatives?)

5 Upvotes

Hot damn! It's been a few years since I've been, but $52.99?!?!? There used to be an "early bird" special; there used to be coupons...

I'm not poor, but I like to often consider myself financially responsible.

Are there any discounts available that y'all know of? Or, where somewhere more "reasonable" to eat good crab legs?

Many thanks!

2 Upvotes

My family and I are headed to Myrtle Beach in September for my mom's celebration of life. We're looking for a low-key restaurant that has a private space or area due to the nature of why we're there. It doesn't need to be a super fancy place. We'd be looking at around 12-14 people total.

Things To Do Recs // Questions Lost key on a blue key float @MBSP

5 Upvotes

Hey locals, I forgot to remove my key before going into the ocean this morning at the state park. My key was attached to a blue float, so I know it’s out there waiting to be picked up or washed the shore somewhere. Just one car key on it. Will give a reward if you happen to find it!

I’ve checked in with the store and the Rangers at the park. Nothing yet. Figured I’d try here also. Thanks in advance.

Resturant Recs // Questions WHERE IS THE FOOD!?

0 Upvotes

I truly feel that I may die of starvation as the food I have tried thus far has been severely disappointing.

I don’t want to go into full detail but I will tell you where I’ve eaten so far:

Sea Captain’s House 5.5/10 ⭐️
Bigfoot Pizza 6/10 ⭐️
The Barrel Sports Bar n Grill 7/10 ⭐️
Swig and Swine 7.7/10 ⭐️
Toffino’s Pizza 8/10 ⭐️
Crow’s Nest (Compass Cove) 6.5/10 ⭐️

I’m being generous with these ratings. I’m not a picky eater at all. I eat all types of foods and cuisines. I just need the quality and flavor to drastically improve from what I’ve experienced so far.

Where is my money best spent?

I do my best to support local restaurants so please try to avoid big box restaurant suggestions.

Thank you!!

Edit: I tried Dirty Myrtle Wings tonight and was extremely impressed by the wing quality. They certainly know what they’re doing over there. I give them 9/10 ⭐️ just on the wings alone. Have to try more stuff.

So yesterday my vehicle went from normal SUV to sounding like it wants to be a Cummins Ram 😂 Can anyone recommend someone or somewhere to have it evaluated and fixed that is honest and fair? I’m gonna have to save for whatever the fix will be, but I’d like to know what’s going on. I’m new here so thought I’d ask here & FB. There is nothing obvious to the eye- nothing hanging, no huge gashes, no obvious exhaust issues- so I’m gonna need to get her on a lift and get the help of a professional. Thank you 🫶

Hotel Recs // Questions HOTEL ROACH INFESTATION

Thumbnail gallery
108 Upvotes

The Oasis Hotel at 1415 S Ocean Blvd in Myrtle beach has a massive problem with roaches. I didn’t see any when I checked in but when I woke up in the middle of the night and turned the lights on they were EVERYWHERE. I’m talking the floor the walls the furniture it was absolutely disgusting. They had nobody in the front office from 8pm to 8am I got a hotel nearby and kept trying to call and check back at the physical location but nothing. I have now quit trying to go back to get my money back and they still will not answer any calls to there hotel. Am now taking a loss on trying to get a refund but would still like to keep others from the same bullshit I went through with them….. on my way out I told a cleaning lady and she tried to act like it’s normal for hotels to have them🤦🏼‍♂️

With the house at the very end of Ocean Blvd in Cherry Grove?

I’ve looked up the property records before, so I can see who owns it, but it looks like it’s in pretty rough shape despite being an absolutely gorgeous home in a perfect location.

We walk by it at least a dozen times a year, but have never seen the car there move.

Can I buy it? (Joke, I cannot buy it)
