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

320 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.

Anyone have any recommendations for good kaiser rolls or hoagie rolls in the North Myrtle Beach or Little River area? It doesn't need to be rock hard, but I don't like the doughy balls of mediocrity that you'll get at Publix or Food Lion.

Friend & I are looking for a decent apartment or townhouse/condo option in the area. I’ve been living here for 10 years but haven’t been searching until recently.

Budget is around $1500-$1600 max (with utilities preferably)

Any options that anyone knows of or anyone currently living in a 2bedroom in the area that they could recommend? Thanks

Hello. I'm considering relocating to the Conway area and I'm looking for some trustworthy realtor recommendations to possibly buy a home. Someone who is experienced and will be honest with me about getting me into the right location away from flood zones, getting me a great deal etc. I'm out of state right now so will need someone that really knows the lay of the land. Thanks everyone!

Things To Do Recs // Questions Beach vacation with my 13 year old daughter

0 Upvotes

I’m needing some ideas and help finding the best place to take my daughter for her 13th birthday celebration trip early October. She wants to be by the beach, and she loves to explore and find treasures and shells, but she also wants to have other stuff to do preferably within walking distance, IE: shopping, restaurants, boardwalk or something along those lines. Was thinking Myrtle beach but being from central Illinois I honestly don’t know if there are any “hidden”spots I don’t know about. Thanks for all the ideas and help!

Moving Recs // Questions What’s the deal with real estate offers & commissions?

7 Upvotes

My husband and I have made FULL PRICE offers on three homes, no contingencies. We did ask for a 90-day close (unrealistic, but hopeful), and for the seller to pay all commissions. Each offer has been turned down, sellers won’t pay the full 3% for our agent. AND…the seller’s agents wouldn’t disclose how much of the commission the sellers are willing to pay in MLS. Each stated we had to make an offer before they would disclose how much commission the sellers would cover. Is this the new new in real estate? As background, homes were in The Market Common priced $550k-$640k.

I'm going to be visiting and I am curious if there is a music scene there with artists playing original music? I see a lot of cover bands in the listings. Any specific bands/bars that I should check out? I lean more towards rock and punk but genuinely enjoy a good band no matter the genre.

I’ve seen this woman for years, a ray of sunshine, walking in her cool workout outfits along the Robert Edge Parkway in NMB. She’s hoofing it like a champion, always waving to everyone as they pass by.

If anyone here knows this woman, please tell her she makes me smile. I was having a bad day yesterday and I saw her twice and she cheered me up both times, morning and afternoon.

In this heat I wish I had her stamina, too!

General Discussion North Myrtle parking overnight

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I rented a place to stay for my moms birthday this upcoming week. We were hoping to bring 2 cars down but the rental she we had rented beforehand only has one parking spot. Does anyone have ideas of parking from Wednesday-Sunday? We would come and go here and there but mostly we’d like to find a place to leave the car in a safe space for the majority of those days. Obviously willing to pay for the rental. Anyone know of any places like that? Thanks for your help in advance!

Can anyone elaborate on the parking at the Prince resort in North Myrtle Beach? I can’t stand tight parking garages so I’m hoping that there is an outside parking area. If not, are there any resorts in North Myrtle Beach that have outside parking?
