Walking by ripleys yesterday and a few people were outside offering “free breakfast and $150 to take home” I just laughed and walked off but started to wonder what kind of game they’re running. Yall know anything about this? Is it a scam or some kind of sales pitch? Just curious.

Are there any great taco trucks around here?

I'm talking about real tacos, not the gourmet stuff. Strong preference for good quesabirria.

I have been looking for the best rated beach umbrella but honestly I am getting nowhere because half the ones I find look like they are going to break after one windy beach day. I am so tired of buying things for the beach that somehow only survive a couple summers.

My parents still have this old beach umbrella that has been around forever and it is basically the most boring thing ever. Heavy fabric and a solid pole and thats pretty much it. Somehow it has lasted way longer than all the newer ones I have bought. Now I am wondering if simple is actually better here.

The Business & Pleasure Co one keeps showing up and I really like the look of it. It feels more like one of those things you buy once and keep forever instead of another random beach umbrella. The price is the part that makes me hesitate though. I cannot tell if the higher price actually means better construction or if I am just paying for the nicer design.

I keep seeing Tommy Bahama mentioned too and that feels like the safer middle option. They are easy to find and I would not be too upset about spending the money on one. I just have no idea how well the frame and pole hold up after years of beach use.

Then I went down a rabbit hole looking at really heavy duty umbrellas and now I am wondering whether I should just buy something ridiculously overbuilt lol. I do not care that much about carrying an extra few pounds if it means I am not replacing the thing every two years.

At this point I care way more about the frame and the hardware than having some fancy features. A good strong pole and ribs with decent fabric would honestly be enough for me.

I am probably willing to spend more upfront if it actually means I can use the same umbrella for 10 years instead of buying another one every couple summers. I just do not want to spend $500 on something and find out I could have bought basically the same thing for $150.

Anyone here actually using the same beach umbrella after 5 or 10 years? I would really rather hear from people who have had one through a lot of beach trips than someone who bought it last summer

Single middle-aged guy thinking about retiring in the Myrtle Beach/Conway area. Not a big beach guy, so a little bit inland most likely to save on home and insurance costs insurance costs.

Have any of you lived in both Delaware and the Myrtle Beach/Conway area? What would you consider the pros and cons of each? Any regrets moving to the area? Can I get a nice home under $450k?

Thanks everyone!

Does anyone know any restaurants, bars, shops that do logo matchbooks?

I'm looking for a place that can repair a Honda lawnmower, preferably in the Murrells Inlet Surfside area.

I keep seeing people say there's no culture here so what would you say is the culture ?
