Review of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina


Quite possibly the worst place in the USA
Star Rating - 1/3/2006
I'm not sure, it could be up there with Gary, Indiana, or Detroit, but I moved to Myrtle Beach a few years ago, and once I left I never even went back again. Even on vacation. Period. Crime is incessant. People are rude, and since it is so touristy, most people use the place as their own personal sewer. Bugs, including roaches, are everywhere. Billboards advertising fast food are every few feet on every highway. Strip mall development is the king here. There is nothing positive about living here, even the weather is bad- oppressive heat and humidity during the summer, and it gets cold enough here in winter. And when the motorcycle gangs come in, they rule the town, and the cops are too afraid to stop them.

I would live in the middle of the desert before I lived here again.
