Myrtle beach becoming a suffocating tourist destination

Re “Police put up barricades on Ocean Boulevard” article in The Sun News.

Vacation? I think not. If I were a biker or tourist, I would not come back to Myrtle Beach. The Myrtle Beach mayor and city council can put any kind of spin they want to put on it, but the loop during Memorial Day weekend and the barricades now are a disaster to all.

Everyone I talk to thinks they are a bad idea.
