Myrtle Beach History 1905 to 2005

Go Full Screen and use PAUSE button for best viewing. Turn on annotations for more info.
This is my complilation of postcards and photographs of Myrtle Beach South Carolina history timeline. Starting in 1905 with a railroad spur from Conway to New Town ( Myrtle Beach ) Photos of The Seaside Inn and first Boardwalk. Myrtle Beach became an official town in 1938 and a city in 1957.
I've tried to put them in order the best I could. Check out my Youtube channel for my video Mom and Pop Inns along the Grand Strand for more historic info. The new boardwalk is open !!!
Have A ? I may have the answer.

Thanks for the video!! I love it!! What memories you just refreshed for me. I lived there from 1992-94 and I had the time of my life. I just returned from there a couple of weeks ago. I had to send this to everyone I know. You did an awesome job and I could not imagine the sacrafices and time you have invested in your videos. Keep it up, because it's well worth it.

From Chris

I am a HUGE Myrtle Beach fan. I grew up going to the Seaside Inn and talking to a Mrs Gauze…I think her name was. She had a bell hop named Coleman. I have so many memories of staying there, eating at the Krispie Kreme Doughnut shop built in to the hotel and walking to the arcades on Ocean Boulevard and eating at Peaches. Then in high school we would flock to The Magic Attic to hear Sugarcreek!!! LOL.

You forgot to include Ma Baggett's and The Rec....also, remember that it was Bill Kitchens from Winston-Salem (or was he originally from Fayetteville) who started the Putt-Putts...wish I could remember the souvenir shop I used to work at during the summers....many a fond memory of good ol' MB when I was at RJR High School in W-S 1951-1955....
