Having lived here for almost 7 years now, I think I have given the place enough of a chance. Oh, and if I have any local readers, this is not just Myrtle Beach proper I’m talking about - this pretty well covers everything from Murrell’s Inlet to Cherry Grove.
- The locals all refer to it as “Murder Beach”, with good reason…the crime index for here is approximately 5 times the national average.

- Hurricane insurance premiums are up 40% from last year
- Imagine a 60 mile long, 3 mile wide strip mall surrounded on all sides by pirate themed mini-golf courses. Now imagine that 50% of the stores in the strip mall were carbon copy beachwear stores and 50% of the restaurants were pancake houses.

- oh yeah, then there’s hurricane season…
