The man behind 100,000 Myrtle Beach memories: Why Jack Thompson is letting go of past

Jack Thompson thumbs through photos on his phone, occasionally stopping to tell the story behind the black-and-white frames. They’re all snapshots taken from a lifetime of chronicling Myrtle Beach’s history, starting when Thompson was a 13-year-old hitchhiker who made his way to the coastal city after hearing tales of beautiful girls in bathing suits and shag dancing on the beach.

People would often say, “if Jack Thompson showed up, it must be important,” Thompson said.
