Age is just a Number: Tootsie Watkins still cooking and creating at 95

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.

“S” is for Sunset Lodge

“S” is for Sunset Lodge. An internationally known brothel, the Sunset Lodge, founded about 1936, was located in a white frame house adorned by neon on U.S. Highway17-- originally three miles south of Georgetown city limits. The lodge’s past is cloaked in legend and myth, but researchers generally agree that the clientele included servicemen, merchant seamen, college students, millionaires, and reportedly members of the Boston Red Sox baseball team which passed through en route to spring training in Florida. State legislators were also frequent visitors. Hazel Weiss, born in Indiana, owned Sunset Lodge for most of its life. She retained doctors to ensure that her employees were disease free. According to Georgetown residents, Weiss was the largest yearly donor to the major organized charity in Georgetown. The Georgetown County sheriff closed Sunset Lodge in December 1969.

Some bars open with a splash and close before the paint dries. The five taverns on this list did the opposite, sticking around for decades while the towns grew up around them. The oldest one started serving in 1938, and the youngest has been at it since 1972. If you want a burger with real history behind the counter, these South Carolina classics are worth the drive.

A Georgetown County water district is no longer adding fluoride. Dentists are worried.

GEORGETOWN — Pawleys Island dentist Nicholas Papadea received a startling letter in September. The water system serving the Waccamaw Neck was no longer adding fluoride to the water. "I was shocked," Papadea said. "As far as we're aware, not a single dentist was contacted before the choice. ... I mean, there was no way we would have signed off on that." His wife, Meredith, a pediatric dentist, also never received a letter. The Papadeas are circulating two petitions, one for dental professionals and another for their patients. Both ask that fluoridation be restarted. The former also requests tha...

Horry County WWII memorial honors Conway brothers, 4,000 others who served

CONWAY — On a clear day in the late 1930s, Horry County residents may have looked skyward to a wonderous sight. A fabric-covered, 40-horsepower Taylorcraft clipping the treetops — piloted by either James or Edward Norton, adventurous Conway High School seniors who took up flying after their parents said a motorcycle would be too dangerous. Within a decade, both men would be killed in action after carrying out a daring daylight air raid over Nazi-occupied Ijmuiden in Holland — but not until their B-26 Marauder was able to drop bombs on the heavily defended gas refinery. The Nortons — affectiona...

The man behind 100,000 Myrtle Beach memories: Why Jack Thompson is letting go of past

Jack Thompson thumbs through photos on his phone, occasionally stopping to tell the story behind the black-and-white frames. They’re all snapshots taken from a lifetime of chronicling Myrtle Beach’s history, starting when Thompson was a 13-year-old hitchhiker who made his way to the coastal city after hearing tales of beautiful girls in bathing suits and shag dancing on the beach. For 75 years, the 90-year-old has been the unofficial city historian, a recorder of long-gone Myrtle Beach landmarks such as the Pavilion and the opulent Ocean Forest Hotel, and a witness to such events as the devastating Hurricane Hazel in 1954, which transformed the Grand Strand. People would often say, “if Jack Thompson showed up, it must be important,” Thompson said. Thompson estimates he’s taken over 100,000 photos over the years — all based on the advice of his father, who was a newspaper editor. “My dad told me to photograph everything I thought was important, that one day it would be famous,” Thompson said. Now, the Garden City resident is preparing to let his collection go, selling off his archives so other people can enjoy them for years to come. “I’m beginning to admire the sunset more than the

Proposed SC-22 extension raises fears for SC refuge, flooding. Should you be worried?

The South Carolina Highway 22 Extension Project could already displace Horry County homeowners. But it also has raised concerns of critical wetland impacts and increased flood risk for residents who live downstream from the Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge’s integrity and purpose could be impacted by the proposed highway, which is slated to run directly adjacent to the refuge’s boundary. Many local environmentalists are concerned with the opportunity for other development to sprawl and the impact it would leave on rural communities. “I can truly say that this is one of the most impactful development projects that that has ever been proposed along the North Coast, and it really could be devastating,” said Grace Gasper, executive director for Friends of Coastal South Carolina, a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting the mission of federally protected land. Horry County has applied for permits through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Charleston District, to build a 28-mile highway extension connecting U.S. 501 northwest of Conway to Highway 17 in the Murrells Inlet area. The Corps has released three reasonable alternatives , all of which cross the Waccamaw River near the refuge’s property line. The Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge was founded in 1997
