RichlandsAlum 678 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 21 hours ago, sixcat said: I'm not much of a "beach" person and neither is my wife. When I do go toward the beach, it's generally Edisto, Hilton Head or St. Simons. Easy for me to see things from Mance's perspective because my wife and I are big "beach" people. My folks live at Cherry Grove three months out of the year and we have gone to Holden Beach for the better part of the last decade. If we're not on the coast at least 3-4 times a year things feel seriously out of whack for us. Although our ultimate retirement plans depend on where our boys wind up when they're grown, we've seriously discussed buying property in Brunswick County. (And if a job in my line of work were to open in Southport, I'd definitely apply.) Used to be a big fan of Hilton Head, but we were there a couple of years ago and I was somewhat disappointed. Appeared that the cycle of overbuild and then the real estate bust of the late 2000's had some significant effect there (which I hadn't really expected).

Ryan4VT 4,550 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 I may be in the minority, but I love Myrtle. When you have a 5 year old (and now a nearly 3 month old) the beach gets old after a little time. Our older boy plays in the ocean/beach for a few hours then wants the pool, then wants putt putt or something fun to do. We love the Pirates Voyage show. I just feel like if you have kids, it’s hard to beat Myrtle with all it offers to keep children (and adults) entertained. I’m happy Mance is getting a chance to prove how good he is down there. He’ll be battling with Dillon every year and I have no doubt he’ll beat them sooner than later. Go Lions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about the Crescent/Windy Hill area of N. Mytle. The reservation I had 3 years ago referred to it as Sunset beach. Just assumed that's what it was called. Haven't stayed at any beaches in NC, so not familiar with the names/areas. Everyone that I know that has stayed in NC always make comments like secluded, peaceful, quiet, away from everything. I don't want crazy like Daytona on spring break, but I don't want grave yard or the boonies either. Guess I'll stick to Dirty Myrtle.

Tru Blue 72 423 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Does anyone know what the process will be in hiring a replacement for Mance? With Ryan taking himself out of contention, the choices will be few, I would imagine. But in all reality, will the school board have all the say, or will Mance or RHS principle have any input?

Tru Blue 72 423 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Sometimes the money is not everything. I was away from this area after college for about seven years and always had the yearning to be back home. Moved back and took a rather large cut in yearly salary, but haven't given it the second thought. Thad and his wife just may want to come back to family. I'm sure his children would like to see more of grandparents. IMO he would be a good hire, but in the end, if he's been offered, then it's a tough decision, but one that only him and his family can make.

Falcon Mania 235 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 I would guess that Thad may have already been contacted or is aware of the opening. Coach Wells will have to do what is best for himself and his family. I know he would be welcomed back to the area by more than just the Richlands faithful.

I don’t think Richlands has that kind of $$$$$ floating around like in the past. It’s going to be a huge pay cut if Wells comes and from what another member posted, giving up state of the art facilities. Money isn’t everything but it’s a lot, lol! Family is too though. I’d say he’s going to have to decide pretty quickly. You know the folks in NC have heard same rumors we have. Tiger 2000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang, you are all the way at the end of Cherry Grove. Walked up that way many, many times on the beach with my wife and dog. When we stayed in Cherry Grove, we rented a house on N. Ocean Blvd. between 47th and 48th Streets. Remember the condos that burnt down during the hurricane a few years ago...just a couple of house back toward Sea Mountain Highway from there. Really like that are but my wife says it floods too much with higher tides. We've been up at Sunset for the past several years. Really like it up there....far enough away from all the hubbub of the Grand Strand but close enough we can get there in a short amount of time.

Always wanted to fish that pier but never made it up there. We stay in Surfside and fish in the campground, surf fish or now go to HBSP and walk to the Murrells Inlet jetties and fish. Long hike but generally a good way to get bites. Bearcat Bob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I caught my first shark at Cherry Grove pier when I stayed at the Prince Resort that connected to the pier. That was always my favorite area to stay until we started staying in Garden City Beach. It’s a lot more laid back and less crowded there as there’s no real high rise hotels. We park the car and take a golf cart between Garden City and Surfside to any restaurant and attraction we want to go to. Or take a boat taxi down to the Marshwalk in Murrells Inlet. It’s far enough away to not be busy but close enough that if you want to drive into Myrtle you’re only 20 mins away. if you’re ever in the Grand Strand area for July 4th the southern area is the best. Murrells Inlet has their boat parade in the morning, Garden City has the Golf Cart parade (which is one of the most fun things I’ve ever went to) in the middle of the day & Surfside has a big evening celebration with bands and fireworks on the beach. To each their own, but the far south Grand Strand area is my favorite. Bearcat Bob and GMan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We rented a house in Surfside last year and rented a golf cart for the week. One of the most relaxing weeks that I've ever had. Myrtle's too hectic for my tastes, especially with a 5 year old. It's also very dangerous these days. EH31, swva_havok_fan, 1inStripes and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
