Default Myrtle beach sucks

We went to the Rally in Myrtle last weekend and left after 3 days. Paid for our room for nine days. Boy, they got what they wanted down there. The cops are picking on the bikers, making it so you can't have a good time. Setting the bikers up with road blocks, smell of beer, going to jail, tail light out, getting a hefty fine, UNBELIEVABLE! We got married there last year, went for the ninth year in a row, won't EVER go back!

I certainly hope they lose out on tax collection and it causes some in gov't jobs to lose them!

Went up near there yesterday to meet some friends in Surfside Beach. The place is real quiet. Arranged to meet them at a restaurant and I thought it was closed when I pulled up. It's usually packed during the rally but there were only 12 people in there. Too bad the folks in the service industry have to suffer

FWIW, Myrtle Beach is advertisng "Vacaton Here", way up here in Minnesota. NEVER seen any of these ads up here, B4. Flappin' their jaws 'bout the GREAT beaches and cow pastures (golf courses). NO mention of motorcycles being Welcome, like SoDak, Iowa and Wi do.

"F" Myrtle Beach, and the horse that rode them in.

Hope they are happy this apparently will have a price tag for them. It will be near impossible for them to ever get back what they have lost. Economy in MB must be a lot better than the rest of the world
