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

North Myrtle Beach Italian restaurant is opening a second location. Here's where

A North Myrtle Beach Italian restaurant is now opening a second location. Benitos Brick Oven and Pasta at 1598 Highway 17 S. was taken over by new owners three years ago, according to general manager Christian Lavallade. After the success with the restaurant, the owners decided to build a second location at 4410 U.S. 17 South in Murrells Inlet . It will be next door to Luna Mexican Bar and Grill, which is part of the owners’ restaurant group, Lavallade said. The second Benitos will be the “smaller brother” of the two, Lavallade said. While it will offer some of the same items on the original menu, the restaurant will be more upscale, adding steaks and seafood dishes, he said. The restaurant is expected to open in about three to four weeks, pending final inspections, Lavallade said.

Is it legal to throw your pet's poop in neighbor's trash can? What SC law says

It’s trash day in your neighborhood, and you have your can sitting along the curb waiting for pickup. Then along comes a neighbor walking their dog and throws their pet’s bag of feces into your trash can. Putting aside the fact that the act is not very neighborly, is it against the law? South Carolina law says that a person cannot “dump, throw, drop, deposit, discard, or otherwise dispose of litter or other solid waste upon ... private property in the State for which he is not the legal owner or a person otherwise granted permission by the legal owner.” Horry County has separate solid-waste rules , and using someone else’s bin without permission could still prompt a complaint. The law also states that “garbage” that is placed in trash cans for pickup “shall not include human or animal feces.” There are other city ordinances with rules about picking up and disposing of your pet’s waste. Myrtle Beach and pet poop Myrtle Beach’s ordinance says that it is unlawful to "fail to promptly remove and properly dispose of all feces left by the animal on any public property or any private property not owned by the owner.” It goes as

South Carolina went blue for Annie Andrews. Did Horry County flip on Darline Graham?

When President Donald Trump traveled to Myrtle Beach in August to stump for Sen. Darline Graham, he told supporters he would return for a golf trip if the Republican senator won her election. If the president returns to the Grand Strand, it won’t be to make good on that promise. Despite support from Trump and other notable conservative politicians in and out of South Carolina, Graham failed to sway South Carolina voters at the ballot box. For the first time in decades, South Carolina elected a Democrat to the U.S. Senate. Did the Myrtle Beach area flip blue for Dr. Annie Andrews or hold for Graham? Darline Graham’s run for office The late Sen. Lindsey Graham comfortably won his Republican primary in June. After his death in July, Gov. Henry McMaster appointed his sister, Darline Graham, to finish her brother’s term. For the Aug. 11 special Republican primary election, Sen. Darline Graham announced her intent to run for a full term. Graham took the lead in that initial primary, with 109,881 votes – roughly 32.75% – but failed to garner a majority. In Horry County, Graham took second place behind Republican U.S. Rep. Russell Fry, but the senator still secured

Did Myrtle Beach area send Russell Fry back to Congress? Here's the voting results

Republican U.S. Rep. Russell Fry will continue representing South Carolina’s 7th congressional district after voters reelected him for a third term. With all counties reporting, the incumbent congressman garnered roughly 56.71% of the votes with 172,308 ballots, based on preliminary results. “America’s future belongs to the people who show up with ideas,” Fry said in a statement. “The Democrat party has spent a lot of time telling America what’s wrong with it. They embraced socialism with open arms, an idea that has failed everywhere it’s been tried. Tonight, our district resoundingly rejected that.” Retired U.S. Navy Command Master Chief and small-business owner John Vincent, who represented the Democratic Party in South Carolina’s 7th Congressional District race, received an estimated 43.22% of votes, according to preliminary results. Fry first took office in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2022 after serving seven years in the South Carolina House of Representatives. He was reelected in 2024 with roughly 71.4% of the vote. This election cycle, Fry bested Vincent to keep his congressional seat. Challenger John Vincent “The message really is that no one party really owns a district or a state, and the sooner we get away from letters after names, and

Weldon Boyd under SC grand jury investigation for deadly shooting, court filing says

A North Myrtle Beach businessman and his friend are apparently under a state grand jury investigation regarding their actions in the shooting death of a North Carolina man three years ago. Weldon Boyd and Kenneth “Bradley” Williams filed a joint motion Thursday asking for a stay in a civil wrongful death suit filed by Jennifer Foley, the sister of Scott Spivey. The 33-year-old Tabor City man was shot and killed by Boyd and Williams after a road rage incident on Sept. 9, 2023, in Horry County. If granted, the motion would delay the civil action until it is determined whether criminal charges will be brought against either defendant, the filing said. The civil suit was expected to go to trial in December after a judge ruled earlier this year that the two men were not granted civil immunity under South Carolina’s Stand Your Ground law. Neither man has been charged criminally in the shooting after the state Attorney General’s Office declined to charge Boyd and Williams, citing South Carolina’s Protection of Persons and Property Act, commonly known as the Stand Your Ground law. The law allows people to use force, including deadly force, in certain situations without a duty to
