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.

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.

Wawa could be coming to Horry County-but some residents aren't happy about it

Wawa could be coming to Horry County. The Planning Commission unanimously approved Thursday plans to allow a new gas station convenience store to open in Little River – but residents aren’t happy.

A new Horry County store would mark the first location in South Carolina. But not everyone’s pleased with Wawa’s plans. Hundreds of residents showed up at the Planning Commission meeting in opposition to the proposed convenience store. Several residents shared public comments expressing concerns that increased traffic would strain infrastructure, endanger public safety and displace wildlife. None of the comments shared as public input were supportive of the plans for a new Wawa. “That intersection is one of the highest collision intersections … I’m already taking my life in my hands trying
