A Small Town with "Big Flavor"

Continuing on our tour of the county our next stop is at the northern end of the Myrtle Beach area at a town called Loris.

LORIS QUICK FACTS:
23 miles from the coast of South Carolina
7 miles  from the North Carolina state line
Loris was incorporated on July 26, 1902
The annual Bog-Off Festival attracts approximately 25,000 people.


Loris began as a railroad town serving the lumber industry in the late 1880's and became the first town in the state to have its own newspaper, high school, bank, telephone system and doctor. 

Today, the revitalized downtown area offers shopping, dining and southern hospitality.  Enjoy the local farmers market.

Wow, today is such a hard day for me.. I had to put down, not 1 but 2 of my poodles.  Bradley was 17 and Elvis was 16.  They were 1/2 brothers and were together through everything.  Elvis wouldn't even pee anywhere else unless it was right by his brother. Bradley was diagnosed with congestive heart failure in May 2011.  He lived longer than the 6 months the vet gave him at that time.  Elvis has had seizures since he was a puppy and developed tumors growing on him over the past 2 years.  They both lost control of bladder and had to be let out almost every 15 minutes, thank goodness for my hubby that he was able to be here with them the last year when it got so bad.

Murrells Inlet - "Seafood capital of South Carolina"

Image
Murrells Inlet is located south of Surfside Beach and Garden City.   Murrells Inlet is split between two counties  Horry and Georgetown Counties. The town was once primarily a fishing village, but has grown substantially.  It is most known for the Murrells Inlet Marshwalk —the 1/2 mile long boardwalk overlooking a pristine saltmarsh—and the many award-winning seafood and barbecue restaurants along Highway 17 Business in the central business district. One of my favorite attractions is the beautiful Brookgreen Gardens . Be sure to visit Huntington State Park  and the Atalya Castle For more information about homes for sale in the Murrells Inlet area: call, email or visit my website.
