MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WMBF) - A Grand Strand business is celebrating one year since making Myrtle Beach its home.

Lucid Coast Candle Bar’s owner Chase Masters said it all started with a candle-making hobby at home during the pandemic.

“From there we just kind of kept growing,” he said. “We did local events, we eventually started doing the City Market in downtown Charleston for a little bit just to help expand even more and then last January we got lucky.”

That luck is what he said landed him in Myrtle Beach a year ago.

“It’s really nice to see like bringing life back to downtown and being able to be a part of it,” said Masters.

Inside Lucid Coast, you can shop for a variety of 100% natural soy candles, room sprays and soaps.

Masters said it’s all centered around a coastal theme, making them fit right in at the beach. He also says it’s also easy on their pockets.

“We like to think of ourselves as like an affordable option so anybody can come and either make a candle or check out non-toxic products that aren’t going to break the bank as well,” he said.

Some parents also said the business also become a safe space for their kids within the last year.

“Being able to come to an area that we know is safe and that you know people are expressing themselves it’s important for us to teach our children to express themselves,” said Kate Boucher, who lives in Carolina Forest.

Whether it’s a candle-making workshop or a celebration for all ages, Boucher said it’s given her all the reasons to continue coming back following a gathering for her son’s recent 10th birthday.

Up-and-coming businesses like Le Manna Bread Bakery told us it’s inspired them to continue the growth of the heart of Myrtle Beach.

“Many years ago about, 70-75 years, there was a bakery located in the same place so what we would like to do is to continue with the baking tradition in this area,” said Gus Pena, a co-owner of Le Manna Bread.

Pena and his business partner, Frank Rodriquez, said they’re looking to open up in the Arts & Innovation District next month, offering an international variety of options from pastries, breakfast, brunch and more.

Masters said Lucid Coast Candle Bar also had a hand in giving back as after every purchase, a portion is donated to their nonprofit.

Masters is now looking forward to what the remainder of 2024 has to offer.

“Super excited about it, we couldn’t have picked a better place for our business. I’m super excited to see the area grow and find ways we can collaborate with the businesses coming in as well.”

Lucid Coast Candle Bar will host an official anniversary celebration on Feb. 10.

Jack Thompson hitchhiked to Myrtle Beach when he was just 13 years old, and he’s been documenting the history of the area through his camera lens since.

Now at 87, Thompson said he’s taken more than 100,000 photos of the Myrtle Beach area. Three warehouses hold the photos he's taken over the decades.

At the Myrtle Beach Train Depot last week, Thompson and another longtime resident, restaurant owner and author Dino Thompson, told stories of a long-gone but fondly remembered landmark of Myrtle Beach — the Ocean Forest Hotel.

“We miss it because it was the biggest, grandest thing at Myrtle Beach,” Dino Thompson said. “We gave directions by it. It was our Taj Mahal.”

Thompson and Thompson spent an hour telling stories and sharing photos of the Ocean Forest to about 200 attendees – a full house at the historic venue. The event was hosted by Friends of Chapin Memorial Library. Stories included how the building came to be, when the hotel served liquor during prohibition and how parts of the hotel were salvaged before it was demolished.

Jack Thompson said the hotel’s history is vital to Myrtle Beach.

“That building is what started Myrtle Beach. Myrtle Beach was actually a little fishing village when the Woodside brothers came and bought Myrtle Beach and started building the Ocean Forest,” Jack Thompson said. “In that process, they had 500 workers who came from everywhere.”

And those workers brought their families and girlfriends with them for the job. The hotel took six years to construct, opening in 1930, and those that constructed it became the founding citizens of Myrtle Beach, Jack Thompson said. But on Friday, Sept. 13, 1974, the historic hotel that took six years to construct was razed in six seconds.

Designed by renowned architect Raymond Hood – who also designed the 30 Rockefeller Plaza and Radiator Building in New York and the Tribune Tower in Chicago – the Ocean Forest went by many nicknames: the Sandcastle on the Sea or the Million Dollar Hotel. Locals just called it The Hotel. The 10-story, 202 room, neoclassical hotel had unique features like a working lighthouse on top and saltwater faucet taps.

It was designed well and also built well, Dino Thompson said, adding how the decision to demolish the hotel was made and how pleas from residents fell on deaf ears. He said when he spoke to Bill Hutchins from the demolition company, Hutchins told him that the Ocean Forest was the finest constructed building he’d ever examined for demolition.

Located halfway between Miami and New York, Dino Thompson said many of the famous big bands of the '30s and '40s, including Harry James, Woody Herman and even Billie Holiday, would play at the Ocean Forest between shows.

“For room and board, they would play at the marine patio,” Jack Thompson said. “You could hear that beautiful music from the leading bands of the era drifting through the air and serenading the 200 Myrtle Beach residents there were at the time.”

The event ended with a poem read by the city’s first ever poet laureate Bo Bryan. Appointed in January, it was the poet’s first public address on behalf of the city. The poem was titled “Organized For Beauty.”

“The Ocean Forest, a masterpiece of humankind, surviving in flight upon the arrow of time. The million dollar hotel, an icon of the Gilded Age. Disappeared, glorified, immortalized by dynamite. You might envision downtown Myrtle Beach as air and spirit to the Ocean Forest,” the poem reads. “A blank canvas for decades now upon which somehow, somewhere to conjure a new masterpiece to surprise the world the likes of even the Sydney Opera House, an Eiffel Tower even. A dynamite dream too large for us, you might say. But then remember we are not as small as we used to be. Perhaps our time is now to renounce the redneck riviera, organize the downtown bricks for beauty and bury dirty myrtle now and forevermore.”

Score: 78 percent

Inspected Jan. 16, 2024, Conway Mart got flagged for several violations. Conway Mart had a consecutive violation for cleanliness, as the inspector found cabinets had an accumulation of debris and grime, a stove had a heavy buildup of grease and carbon and a countertop under a self-serve drink machine had an accumulation of dirt and debris on them.

The inspection found food bags of grits and flour/bread kept in an unfinished storage area with openings to the outside and cups and lids, too. A walk-in cooler had cardboard as shelf lining, as cardboard is not approved for re-use, and a fryer basket had broken/ loose wires.

The inspection also found food not stored at the correct temperatures, but the restaurant corrected the violations.

An onsite follow-up within 10 days is required. No routine inspection is required within 60 days. Failure to fix the violations will result in a further downgrading of Conway Mart.

Inspected Jan. 19, 2024, most of China Dragon’s issues were chicken-related.

The restaurant stored raw chicken on top of raw beef in a walk-in cooler, which they corrected. Boneless chicken was thawing in a bin of water in a sink, and boxes of chicken sat on the floor in the walk-in cooler.

A container of stored chicken was also not covered.

There were other issues, too. An ice scoop was stored improperly in an ice machine, while an employee left the cookline to take a phone call and returned without washing their hands. The inspection found the restaurant did not defrost a chest freezer, and the shelving of a walk-in cooler wasn’t clean. To-go plates were also not stored correctly, and a cutting board was too cut.

An onsite follow-up within 10 days is required. No routine inspection is required within 60 days.

SC High School League rolls out plan for beach region with 6 Horry County schools

Horry County’s six largest high schools will make up a new “beach region” of Grand Strand prep teams, according to plans the South Carolina High School League announced this week.Barring any appeals, Region VI-5A will feature Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Carolina Forest, Socastee, St. James and Conway, much to the excitement of area coaches and athletics directors.“It’s being able to get the opportunity to play everybody,” Carolina Forest football head coach Marc Morris said. “We w...

Horry County’s six largest high schools will make up a new “beach region” of Grand Strand prep teams, according to plans the South Carolina High School League announced this week.

Barring any appeals, Region VI-5A will feature Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Carolina Forest, Socastee, St. James and Conway, much to the excitement of area coaches and athletics directors.

“It’s being able to get the opportunity to play everybody,” Carolina Forest football head coach Marc Morris said. “We want to play everybody every year like some of the rest of these teams do around here. So it’s just good to get everybody together and just be a part of a true region with each other.”

Carolina Forest, Socastee, St. James and Conway currently play in a region with Sumter, while Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach play in a region with West Florence, South Florence, Wilson and Hartsville.

Although a new region would cut down on travel for region games, non-region play will now require longer drives.

“People are kind of missing the boat on that,” Morris said. “Just take Socastee, for example. I think they play Myrtle Beach [and] North Myrtle Beach [in] non-conference. So they’re either going to travel to these short places [in] non-conference and travel a little bit further conference-wise, or they’re going to have shorter travels during the conference, but we’ve still got to find five games right now if they do it with a six-team league … It’s just whether you do it on the front end or the back end.”

While North Myrtle Beach athletics director Tony Heilbronn is fine with the Chiefs moving up to 5A, he was under the assumption that his school would stay in 4A. Like Morris, he’s now trying to find opponents to replace the local teams that the Chiefs would’ve played in non-region competition.

“Now that we’re with them, everyone else’s schedule is kind of filled up, so right now, I’ve got Goose Creek [for] Week 0 [in football] potentially [and] Loris and West Brunswick on the schedule still,” Heilbronn said. “So I still need to find two more teams, which, now that the regions have come out, we should probably have that within a week.”

Myrtle Beach’s seen an uptick in tornadoes recently, but one expert says the area isn’t becoming more prone to them.

Some flooding might be expected in Horry County, but the threat isn’t serious due to the speed of the storm, officials say.

A storm is moving toward the Myrtle Beach area, and flooding could accompany it with heavy weather starting around Tuesday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service’s Wilmington, N.C. office.

While flooding might impact areas with poor drainage and beach erosion is a concern, the flooding threat is “on the low end” and isn’t a serious threat because of the storm, said Steven Pfaff, warning coordination meteorologist for the NWS’ Wilmington site.

Updated 11:44 a.m.

A tornado watch has been issued for Horry County until 6 p.m., according to the Horry County Emergency Management.

Wind gusts in Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach are at 38 mph, according to the National Weather Service in Wilmington, North Carolina.

Updated 10:22 a.m.

The City of Myrtle Beach shores have gone to a double red flag for the remainder of Tuesday, meaning that everyone should remain out of the ocean due to dangerous surf conditions, according to the Myrtle Beach Fire Department.

Updated 10:18 A.M.

Tuesday’s storm is predicted to bring heavy rain, flooding and high winds with gusts up to 55 mph to the Myrtle Beach area, according to the National Weather Service.

That could mean some in Horry County will postpone plans or cancel events in preparation for the severe weather. Check the list of cancellations and closings here.

If you have a cancellation or closing, email [email protected].

Updated 10:10 A.M.

HTC announced via an email that their retail locations and their Customer Contact Center were closing at 12:30 p.m. today. Customers can pay their bills online.

“HTC is taking necessary measures to prepare for these conditions by testing and fueling standby generators, inspecting network offices and equipment locations to prevent flooding, preparing fleet vehicles for deployment and other tasks associated with ensuring the safety of network equipment,” wrote the company officials in an email. “HTC will be watching the storm as it moves into our service area and managing our emergency operations center to monitor the network for any alarms.”

A severe thunderstorm is expected to hit the Myrtle Beach area Tuesday, bringing damaging winds, potential flooding and the threat of tornadoes. The National Weather Service said the worst of the storm is expected to hit in the afternoon and evening.

Residents could see bouts of heavy rainfall and wind speeds of more than 55 mph. A total of 1 to 2 inches of rain is predicted, which will bring low levels of flash flooding and a chance of minor coastal flooding.

Many Myrtle Beach area resorts and restaurants live stream their views.

For most of the year, these webcams show tranquil beach scenes for visitors longing for the ocean. When a storm hits, the cameras can turn into tools for locals and tourists alike to witness the effects in real time.

After you identify local emergency contacts and see if your area is likely to flood, check out these 23 beach cams to watch the storm.

As an early winter storm approaches the Myrtle Beach area, there’s a potential for power outages in Horry County.

The National Weather Service’s Wilmington office’s Jan. 8 storm briefing reported that winds could reach 55 mph for land areas and more than 58 mph in marine/coastal areas. The NWS’s report also said tornadoes could develop, putting the threat of wind between “elevated” and “significant.”

The NWS lists increasing threats from none, limited, elevated, significant and extreme.
