Alligator slips into bagel shop, greets owner at front counter, NC video shows

An alligator with a goofy sense of humor crawled through the back door of a North Carolina bagel shop, then stood at the front counter as if waiting to take someone’s order. It happened around 4:30 p.m. Thursday at Bagel Dock Express in Southport, and the gator was discovered when the shop’s stunned owner rounded a corner. Surveillance video shows Jesse Driscoll stopped dead in his tracks, hopped across the lobby, and grabbed a chair as if preparing to tame a lion. He then called 911. The young alligator was also taken off guard, and is seen backing away in search of an exit. “Apparently, word of our fresh bagels has made its way into the swamp!” the shop wrote in an Oct. 29 Facebook post. “No injuries, no drama … just one very unusual customer! Fresh bagels. Wild experiences.” It’s coincidental, but appropriate that it happened just two days before Halloween. The backdoor was open when the 3-foot alligator happened by, and surveillance video shows it entered with confidence and sprinted through the kitchen to the counter. “Just walked in like he knew where to go,” the shop wrote on social media. Driscoll was nearby the whole time, but

This Halloween falls on a Saturday, and spooky celebrants are sure to be out at parties and events across the Myrtle Beach area. For those planning to imbibe this weekend, here’s what to know about alcohol and open container laws in the Grand Strand. Grand Strand areas that allow open containers Every October, Conway transforms into the City of Halloween with creepy decorations and spooky events. During the celebration, pedestrians are permitted to carry beer and wine – but not hard liquor – in non-glass containers on city sidewalks and property downtown. Halloween revelers can also walk around with open containers of alcohol at the Murrells Inlet Marshwalk. Although Georgetown County generally bans the consumption of alcohol on streets, roads, sidewalks and county-owned and operated property without a special event permit, the Marshwalk is an exception.
