Myrtle Beach vendors, such as Tuvia Wilkes, note a decline in the number of young visitors during this year's spring break season. Myrtle Beach is listed as the 5th most risky spring break destination. In recent years, Myrtle Beach has become a focal point for discussions regarding safety during spring break. The perception of this destination among young travelers is heavily influenced by its reputation, which has been shaped by various incidents and reports that highlight the dangers associated with the area. This raises important questions about the factors that contribute to a destination's safety reputation. While rankings can often deter potential visitors, they may not fully encapsulate the experiences of those who have visited Myrtle Beach in the past. For many, the allure of the beach, nightlife, and entertainment may overshadow concerns about safety. Does the dangerous ranking of Myrtle Beach matter if there are few Spring Break tourists visiting, or is it commonly understood that Myrtle Beach is a risky destination for Spring Break students?

Per a press release from SCDOT, the Old Kings Highway Roundabout is being constructed in Georgetown, S.C. This project aims to enhance traffic flow and improve safety at this busy intersection, which has been a point of contention for local drivers due to frequent congestion and accidents. The implementation of a roundabout is part of a broader initiative to modernize traffic management in the area. South Carolina has about 50 roundabouts completed that work like the Old Kings Highway Roundabout. These roundabouts have proven to reduce the number of severe accidents by 30% compared to traditional intersections, according to various traffic studies. The design allows for continuous movement of vehicles, thereby diminishing the likelihood of high-impact collisions that often occur at stop signs and traffic signals. Benefits of the Old Kings Highway Roundabout Columbia, S.C. (March 24, 2025) - The South Carolina Department of Transportation will convert the intersection of Riverwood Avenue and Old Kings Highway in Georgetown County to a roundabout beginning April 3. This conversion is expected to streamline traffic and reduce delays during peak hours. The decision to implement a roundabout was based on extensive traffic studies that indicated a need for improvements in this area, considering the increasing volume of vehicles as the population continues to grow. SCDOT has several resources on roundabouts that can be found here. We encourage drivers to pay attention to signs when driving through a roundabout, as proper navigation involves yielding to traffic already circulating within the roundabout. This helps maintain a steady flow of vehicles and reduces the chances of accidents. Understanding the right-of-way rules is essential for all road users, including pedestrians and cyclists.

At a fundraising campaign kickoff event last night, Myrtle Beach Mayor called her husband a sign boy. The campaign kickoff event was attended by a small group of insiders and political campaign donors. After 7 years in office, Bethune spoke of re-vitalizing downtown Myrtle Beach. She complimented her team on the millions of dollars the town has spent on downtown revitalization. She stated the work would continue. Meanwhile our news coverage here, shows only two days before the campaign kickoff a fight broke out downtown and Myrtle Beach made a new list as America's 3rd dirtiest beach. While it is true that the town spent over $100 million in downtown efforts during her first 2 terms, transformational improvements have yet to be realized. Mayor Bethune and her team were in Columbia earlier this month, just before this campaign kickoff, asking the state to provide $50 million in downtown revitalization funding. Unfortunately for the city of Myrtle Beach, the S.C. General Assembly is cutting the budget this year. Sources tell our news team that Mayor Bethune will be fortunate to receive $10 million. Her request, just before her campaign kickoff, largely fell on deaf ears, because many legislators in Columbia are aware the the Myrtle Beach downtown area is landlocked by a 1945 trust fund arrangement. $50 million will do nothing to change the following parcels left by Simeon B. Chapin in his will to his descendants and a few Myrtle Beach insider families.

Nvidia, the world’s undisputed leader in chipmaking, says it will invest hundreds of billions of dollars over the next four years on its U.S.-based manufacturing operations. This investment marks a significant step in the ongoing manufacturing renaissance under President Donald J. Trump, aiming to solidify the U.S. as a global leader in artificial intelligence and semiconductor production. With this ambitious plan, Nvidia aims to bolster its capabilities in producing advanced chips that are essential for AI applications and data centers, which are rapidly expanding in various sectors including healthcare, finance, and autonomous vehicles. “Having the support of an administration who cares about the success of this industry and not allowing energy to be an obstacle is a phenomenal result for AI in the U.S.,” said Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. This statement underscores the importance of government support in fostering an environment conducive to innovation and growth in the semiconductor industry.
