Living, Working and Writing in Myrtle Beach: Politics & Books "at the beach"

Our local Realtor Association had it's annual "Meet the Candidates" night at the Market Common office this past Thursday. Bev and I were going to be on that end of the beach, so we stopped by for chickenbog, barbecue and all the fixings. While there, I met Myrtle Beach Mayor John Rhodes and he purchased a copy of my book MURDER ON THE FRONT NINE. I hope he likes it and spreads the word.
     We have friends in town from Ohio and the four of us went to the annual "Taste of the Town" at the convention center. It is one of the premeir social events of the year. There were thousdands of people there and the selection of food was fantastic. Fifty plus local restaurants were hawking their special delights. Can't wait for next year.

     Tours will start this Saturday of a house in Georgetown where historical accounts show George Washington was entertained there in 1791. The Stewart-Parker house, named after the first and last owners, was built by Robert Stewart about 1740. Twelve area designers have transformed the porches, rooms and grounds at the house for the tours. Anytime you're in Myrtle Beach, be sure and take the time to visit Georgetown. It is quite a historical area.
