WOW A “Mayberry” town for Sure!! Loris, SC

Local radio station WLSC 1240 AM is a connection to the past.  Owner “Banana Jack” and his self acclaimed “Mayberry” town and radio station has made it just that.  We celebrate going back to roots that remind us babyboomers of home……  And, I sure remember Andy of Mayberry, Mt. Pilot and Goober (my favorite, besides Opie).  And, “What it was, was football.”  Do you remember?

You can connect to the nostolsgia at www.WLSCradio.com (streaming online) Country, Bluegrass & Southern Gospel.  You can also connect to the Loris Chamber of Commerce at www.lorischambersc.com.  

We’ve just introduced a “Quiet” Nice Neighborhood called Myrtle Lakes North.  It’s just 10 minutes from Loris and 15 minutes from North Myrtle Beach.  Connect to our Coastal Real Estate Connection to see it:  1800ToRelax Coastal Connection 

Small towns are all about South Carolina and this is just another reason to Let’s Celebrate South Carolina.  Ya’ll come visit Loris!  In the fall they always have the Loris Bog Off???!!!

Canadian Geese head South and Canadians, too!!!

Have you seen those geese heading South?  Well, I saw them recently in Bishopville, SC, while fishing in the “Nash Pond.”  My son caught a big bass!  Well, the “honkers” were flying…..what a sound!  If only I had my camera.

Did you know that one of SC beverages (Yes they have two) is TEA!

How Sweet it Is Article on Innovista Website (link below) caught my attention.

I’ve been researching trivia and good news on South Carolina and came across an interesting fact.  South Carolina has two beverages: one is, of course, Tea!  (If you don’t have tea for lunch, someone might call you a northerner.)  Guess what the other one is???? 

The title of this article How Sweet It Is, of course, caught my attention; and, it is on a great website, Innovista, by the University of South Carolina–check it out.

How sweet it is!  The Southeast is currently one of the fastest-growing regions in the country, with South Carolina one of the top 10 destinations in percent-change of population. Known for hospitality and grace, the Southeast also offers scenic mountain views, majestic lakes, endless miles of sandy beaches, and thousands of golf courses.  Under Southeast http://innovista.sc.edu/location/southeast.aspx. 

By the way, today is Valentine’s Day.  Tell your Sweetie how much you love him/her today….Oh, just go ahead and do it EVERYDAY!

Celebrate South Carolina

 North Myrtle Beach , SC   CENTURY 21 Coastal Lifestyles is a business proud and excited to “Celebrate South Carolina” as our home, our heritage, and our business.  Where people are coming to live, work, and play

Our decision to focus 2008 on “Celebrate South Carolina” came from following months of a slow or what media has claimed as a down market in real estate.  Well, I’m a South Carolinian first and a Realtor second and our family is in the land business.   Therefore, we’re publishing the good news about South Carolina and what people are saying about us and who’s doing business here.

We’re a great state and we’re ready to tell the world.  So let’s keep connected and tell the good news about our state.  You don’t have to be a South Carolinian but it might help.
