I’m not coming back; too many changes in Myrtle Beach

Been here almost a week. This is at least the fourth time. Ocean Boulevard may well have shortened the life of my car's undercarriage. The traffic jams from North Myrtle Beach to Pawleys Island are now similar to the Baltimore-DC-Richmond morass.

Seems this was one area that still had space for smart traffic flow -- overpasses, cloverleafs and traffic circles in lieu of traffic lights. Not to be.

You won't be seeing us in coming years. Besides, the attractions now look like Pigeon Forge, et al.
