Horry council to hear second reading on 2 a.m. ordinance

Horry County Council will meet Tuesday to vote on the second reading of the proposed business ordinance that would close bars in the county at 2 a.m.

The strict closing-time rule is aimed at cutting back on crime, and states that prolonged consumption of alcoholic beverages leads to dangerous situations.

It would be implemented at bars in unincorporated Horry County on July 12 if approved at third reading.

The second annual “Monster Jam” will be at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday at Myrtle Beach Speedway, 455 Hospitality Lane, off U.S. 501, about three miles north of Myrtle Beach, and just past S.C. 31.
