SC-22 routes narrowed to a few choices. It could displace scores of Horry residents

John and Katie Clairmont moved to their dream, log cabin-style home on 2 acres in Murrells Inlet six years ago. But that dream may vanish when the South Carolina Highway 22 Extension Project undergoes construction. The project, which has been in the works for nearly two decades , is in the public scoping stage where the initial 22 potential routes have been narrowed down to three. Two of which appear to run directly through the Clairmont’s home should they move forward. “I recognize the fact that Horry County is growing and needs infrastructure improvements. But that being said, they have to take into consideration the families that live in this area,” John Clairmont said. Formerly titled the Southern Evacuation Lifeline project (SELL), the highway intends to improve hurricane evacuation and traffic congestion while aiding services across the Waccamaw River. It’s currently slated to cost $1.56 billion for environmental mitigation and construction funded through Horry County’s RIDE 4 program . But the Clairmonts and other residents in the area are not convinced the project would serve the stated purpose and would increase traffic and development. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is administering a series of studies before authorizing a permit

Myrtle Beach restaurant moving after decades in yellow building. Where is it going?

A chicken restaurant that’s been in the heart of downtown Myrtle Beach for decades is moving. Maryland Fried Chicken , located in its yellow building at 939 N. Kings Highway adjacent to another longtime restaurant, Mammy’s, is planning to relocate at the beginning of the year, workers said. It is unclear why the fried chicken restaurant is moving or what will happen to the building. The building is owned by the First United Methodist Church of Myrtle Beach. Messages left with a restaurant manager and a church official were not returned before publication. The restaurant’s new location will be at 1803 N. Kings Highway, which is the former location of Bistro B restaurant . The restaurant, which opened in April 2025, combined a dining establishment with the popularity of pickleball by having three pickleball courts in the back of the building where diners or others could play. The former owner, who declined to provide his name, said on Wednesday that the restaurant closed on Sept. 1 because he planned to retire. Before Bistro B, the building hadn’t had a business located there in about 15 years.

Horry County man placed on ‘most wanted list' for overgrown grass, lawsuit says

A Conway area man claims he was wrongfully arrested by Horry County Police officers because his grass was too tall, according to a new lawsuit. The lawsuit, filed in Horry County on Nov. 5, names Horry County, HCPD Police Chief Kris Leonhardt, Deputy Chief Justin Wyatt and several other officers, who Kevin Hobbs accuses of making false accusations against him in order to obtain an arrest warrant. The allegations stem from a series of alleged interactions between HCPD officers and Hobbs from August to October 2024. Hobbs claims that he was arrested for “declining to discuss an alleged overgrown grass-complaint” near his front door, according to the lawsuit. The complaint also states that Hobbs was placed on Horry County’s most wanted list, put in jail and then prosecuted for 13 months. The Sun News has requested the documents relating to Hobbs’ arrest. A spokesperson for Horry County and HCPD each wrote that the county and police department does not comment on any ongoing litigation in text messages to The Sun News. Hobbs is seeking punitive and actual damages to be determined by a jury. Dispute over grass On Aug. 30, 2024, Hobbs had been at his home on Lesia Lane

Last SC location of this business offering 75% off sales. How long before they close

Horry County residents have been wondering for years when a home decor store would finally close. The store, located in Surfside Beach, is the last Old Time Pottery location in South Carolina. Old Time Pottery, which became known for its deals on furniture, rugs and other home decor items, was bought in 2023 by Gabe’s, an off-price retail and clothing outlet. The takeover drew online speculation in the past few years from residents in The Grand Strand who wondered if the Surfside Beach location would be changed after other stores across the country had closed. But this time, the rumors are true: South Carolina’s last Old Time Pottery location will be closing in December so that the store can be turned into a Gabe’s store, a store supervisor told The Sun News on Thursday. The store will remain closed for five to six weeks afterward in order to remodel it. What will this mean for customers? Gabe’s first acquired Old Time Pottery in April 2023. A year later, speculation about the location at 1870 Highway 17 Business in Surfside Beach grew as customers wondered if a new business would take its place. A Gabe’s company spokesperson announced in a March

SC-22 extension could reshape parts of Horry County. What to know about project

The proposed 28-mile South Carolina Highway 22 Extension Project has been narrowed to three potential routes, each with implications for homeowners, wetlands and traffic in the Grand Strand region. The extension is intended to reduce traffic, aid services to communities across the Waccamaw River and improve hurricane evacuation. Public meetings are scheduled Nov. 17-19 for residents to weigh in on the $1.56 billion project. Here are key project takeaways: Homes at risk: The Army Corps of Engineers has narrowed 22 initial routes to three alternatives, each initially estimated to displace between 64 and 72 residential or commercial properties in established neighborhoods like The Farm at Timberlake, Indigo Creek, The Lakes, and Meadows of St. Patrick, with construction estimated for 2030-2035. Residents and environmental groups also worry the new highway will worsen congestion on U.S. 501, 701, 707 and 17 and open western Horry County to more development. Property owner rights: Under South Carolina’s Eminent Domain Procedure Act, government agencies can acquire private land for public projects in exchange for just compensation, but property owners have 30 days to challenge a condemnation notice and can hire their own appraiser at the agency’s expense. Owners whose land isn’t physically taken but loses

BJ's Wholesale Club eyes a new location in Horry County. Here's what we know

A popular northeastern wholesale supermarket chain is looking to expand into North Myrtle Beach after opening its first Grand Strand location last year. BJ’s Wholesale Club submitted development plans to the City of North Myrtle Beach for a new location between Champions Boulevard and South Carolina Highway 90. The proposal comes after the company opened its first Horry County store in Myrtle Beach in February 2025. The warehouse chain uses a club system where only members shop in its stores, similar to Costco or Sam’s Club. BJ’s is based in Massachusetts and, according to its website, BJ’s has 8.5 million members across its 270 stores in 22 states. The Sun News was unable to reach the company for comment, but preliminary plans submitted to North Myrtle Beach reveal some details about the proposed location. The building would be around 106,628 square feet, including a 3,400-square-foot tire service area, with 381 parking spaces. The rendering also describes signage for a gas station.

For 95-year-old Tootsie Altman Watkins, life on Pawleys Island looks a lot different today than it did when she was growing up along the picturesque shoreline. When she was a little girl back in the 1930s, there wasn’t electricity, air conditioning, refrigeration, running water, a grocery store or beach traffic.

This Small-Town Cafe Serves Shrimp And Grits Worth Driving Across South Carolina For

Are there buried shipwrecks in Myrtle Beach sands? You could be sunbathing on one

Numerous items wash up on the Grand Strand’s more than 60 miles of beaches, many becoming buried beneath the sand. In Myrtle Beach, beachgoers who pitch their umbrellas and spread their blankets along parts of the shore might be surprised to know that they may be walking on top of two shipwrecks. The ships were briefly uncovered when two major hurricanes hit the South Carolina coast, only to be reburied after years of beach renourishment and time. Jack Thompson, who has spent 75 years chronicling Myrtle Beach’s history, was able to snap photos of both wrecks, capturing rare moments in time. Here’s what to know about the shipwrecks and where they are located. The Freeda A. Wyley After Hurricane Hazel made landfall in Myrtle Beach on Oct. 15, 1954, causing extensive damage and deaths, the storm uncovered the timbers of the barkentine Freeda A. Wyley at 43rd Avenue North. Thompson was able to photograph the remains of the 507-ton, three-masted ship. The ship had encountered a hurricane off the coast of Myrtle Beach in 1893 and burned to the waterline, leaving its wooden hull to drift onto the beach. “All the local guys went down there with hammers and saws
