It’s getting worse and worse in Myrtle Beach

I hope people don't take this the wrong way, but I work in the malls with my job, and I have to say since I moved here 13 years ago, it has continued to get worse and worse on weekends.

I hate to say, but those visiting aren't even acknowledging or respecting us. It is a shame.

As a child, I looked forward to coming to Myrtle beach with my parents and friends. But it is not the same.

Things need to change or we will no longer be a family-oriented vacation destination. And that would be a true shame whether white, black, or Hispanic thugs are doing this to our community.
