A dead whale has washed up on a Grand Strand beach. What we know

A dead whale washed ashore Thursday at a Georgetown County beach. It washed up on North Litchfield Beach near Shorebird Loop, according to an email from Georgetown County spokesperson Jackie Broach. A team from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is on the way to examine the animal before removing it. Officials are asking the public to stay clear of the animal and to keep pets away, as dead whales can carry diseases. Federal law prohibits touching or removing any part of the animal. Additional details about how the animal died or why it washed ashore were not available.

A popular Myrtle Beach rooftop bar and live music venue has expanded its space to a multi-floor facility. Tin Roof , located at 1410 N. Ocean Blvd., launched its soft opening last weekend for a new bar and live music space on the first floor of its existing location.

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
