Myrtle Beach, South Carolina »
Over the weekend we went to Myrtle Beach. Nice enough place, but I recall with some fondness the days of my youth going there and staying in the two or three story open motels with a swimming pool right there, seemingly inches from the main thoroughfare - Highway 17. While Highway 17 is still there, it's no longer the main drag, as it were. There are, it seems, dozens of them. There are high rises everywhere and perhaps even worse, people streaming here and there and everywhere, even in what is surely approaching the off-season.
