  • Hello my friends. Today I will be searching for classic motels here in Myrtle Beach. I found some old pictures and post cards of the motels from the 1960’s & 70’s. I thought it would been fun to see how they have changed over the years. We have a lot to see today. So let’s get started!

    Still so sad to see that empty field where the Pavilion was. The Pavilion and The Thunderbird Motor Inn were my childhood beach experience. Thanks for the walk down memory lane!

      A lot of people miss the Pavilion. I believe the ZIP line Adventure that took the place of the Pavilion recently closed down. Thanks for watching my friend. Have a great weekend!👍

    Back in the late 60's as a kid we stayed at Waikiki Village on the southend,it's still there with a nice recent renovation.My grandparents stayed at the Sun Fun motel a few blocks from the boardwalk,it's still there and in pretty good shape,I think it's being used as a long term stay motel.I also think it would be cool if they had an Amphitheater or a Bandshell where the Volleyball courts are now for free concerts.

      Hey Will. I think that is a great idea about having a Amphitheater where the volley courts are located!

    Wow you have that history. Very nostalgic motel vlog. They look pretty kept up. Hard for them to compete with the big guys. Myrtle holds many spaces in peoples memories. I bet someone would jump off the 3rd floor to get into the pool on that second one. Now I am hungry and need food! You had me at BBQ. 🍖

      I love documenting these old motels. One day they all will be gone. Vanished from existence! I believe you are right about someone jumping off the upper floor back in the good old days.😂 I may or may not have done that crazy move at a motel in Carolina Beach in the mid 90’s.🤣 My choices were questionable back then. Thanks for watching Dude!

    I actually stayed at the Atlantic View Motel it was probably built when there was actually an ocean view from across the street.The winter rates were good when I stayed there in 2019-20,$35 nightly or $150 weekly,probably higher now.

    My family have been staying at MB consistently for the last 15 years and love it. I first stayed there when I was a kid in the early 70s. The motel was T & C Motor Court off King's Highway. I'm guessing it was at 2nd Ave N. I remember walking down to the 2nd Street Pier (I believe). Wonderful family memories! Anyone remember that motel or where it was located?

    I just discovered your channel yesterday. I love your content, very interesting and extremely easy to listen to. The last time I was at Mb the pavilion field had a country music festival going on, so I guess they just use it for events.

      I was at Simply Southern Smokehouse restaurant in Myrtle Beach last month. One of the employees was telling me they heard Myrtle Beach had plans of bringing a Casino to the old Pavilion location. They could not confirm it for sure. I guess we will see what happens in a few years. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend my friend.
