Putting Frost Cloth on Your North Carolina Plants? The Timing Matters More Than You Think

10 North Carolina Apple Cider Donut Spots Ranked From Good To Absolutely Worth The Drive

One mountain orchard on this list sells its donuts next to an apple cannon. Yes, a cannon that launches apples, and the donut line is still the main event. I love that detail because it says a lot about how seriously North Carolina takes this fall snack. Some of these spots press their own cider right on the farm.

The heart behind Purpose Dance Studio

Dance is one of the most diverse art forms. Most are familiar with the classical styles, like ballet, contemporary and jazz, but dance is far bigger and more diverse than these few styles. The American South is home to a plethora of styles, from social dances to regional to street; there is no shortage of movement. While most dance studios in the area focus more on the classical styles and developing competition-level dancers, Purpose Dance Studio, the newest addition to the studio scene, is taking a completely different approach. Focusing more on Hip Hop, Breaking, Popping, and Afro Fusion, the studio is a growing hub for street dancers and dancers of styles who have fewer spaces to learn, practice and perfect their art, including Christian Praise Dance.

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.
