“Businesses are reluctant to open their doors within the city limits,” she wrote. “They fear the bizarre zoning laws, the oppressive signing ordinances, the climbing licensing fees, and the restrictive parking policies. All of these rules add up to a suffocating environment for businesses, and that’s why Highway 17 is littered with empty storefronts and dilapidated buildings.”

I know many business owners in MB and Horry County.Mande speaks NOT the truth.MB is not only a beautiful area for tourists but also a great place to raise a family.It appears that the mayor and city council work very hard to work with the local business community.

I find it shameful that people like Boz and Mande make the choice to live in communities that offer such a beautiful lifestyle with world class beaches and amenities yet constantly try and tear down not only the communities but the very people the VOTERS elect to serve,promote and protect those very communities.

I guess it might be time to move if ya’ll are so miserable-or elect public servants that will carry out your very own self serving interests whatever those might be.Never been able to figure out how somebody can be so unhappy living in one of the friendliest and beautiful places in the country.

Why does anybody listen to anything Mande Wilkes has to say? What are her qualifications? A woman with a law degree who failed the SC Bar Exam; a woman who ran for office and lost; a woman who admits she bought herself a pair of tits so she could get on a local tv show as a “commentator.”

Hmm………well,……at least she is doing something. Now, whether or not what she is doing is actually generating any jobs is another thing. At least what she has done has got Mr. Folks to write an article for this website so it can be used in a court of law against Myrtle Beach public officials that are put on trial for getting Asian kickbacks that the Sun News fails to report. Heck, maybe her efforts will generate Ad revenue for the Sun News and Fits news….?

Sun News don’t want nothing to do with Crack-pot corruption clams against elected officials.

TSN, using some of the same type of conspiracy Bullshit Boz is noted for, got sued for libel, and lost hundreds of thousands of dollars..

Have to sell a lot of ads just to break even, acting that stupidly.

What’s next…? Well, have you ever been in a Batteries Plus store..? Just go in and pick up a Motorcycle Lithium Battery in your left hand then lift up a Lead Acid Battery in your right hand..? Then think to yourself……..why do we still have Lead Acid Batteries..? Next, ask yourself…..how would an Asian investor use a Myrtle Beach schmooze to get all city assets to use Lithium instead of Lead Acid without a vote or mention in the Sun News..? Wouldn’t city workers or teachers like to know so they can invest their PENSIONS in a soon to be thriving economy..? Elon Musk does know something….doesn’t he..?

Now…about that lawsuit over what a MAYOR did not tell his investing voters……

But the empty storefronts and dilapidate buildings abide. In Myrtle Beach that is. The city itself does not thrive in the same way that NMB and Conway do. Far, far fewer blighted areas now in those areas, compared to a just few years ago. Mande is not talking about the whole Grand Strand area. She is talking about the small town that tries to be a city, meaning Myrtle Beach itself. Businesses are moving outside of that little town now. Mande may be onto something.

Reality Check Please! September 29, 2015 at 4:42 am

The issue is abandoned storefronts, decaying properties, and whole blighted communities. They have diminished outside of the “city” in recent years. They have increased inside of the “city”. A hostile atmosphere for business inside it is the reason. You are talking about taxes that are gouged from businesses. That is not prosperity.

Conway is the 4th oldest town in SC and existed long before Myrtle Beach was even an idea.

Sell it to the Chinese, have them tow it back to Asia. I would not be caught dead in Myrtle Beach, a lot of people have.
Taking foreign money, in today’s economy may be the only way to make ends meet, just be prepared for the consequences.

Mande is right about the city. The business climate for locals is terrible. The extortionary fees, silly regulations, and combative nature of code enforcement and administrative personnel have prompted many new business and professional service providers to locate just west of The Waterway in Carolina Forest. No one locally wants to open a non-tourist related business in the city. The 2.5 million dollar Areospace park is empty. Has been for years and will be for years to come because most savvy businesses do not want to engage in a one-sided lease arrangement with a government entity. Most of the businesses that have been incentivized to relocate by the EDC and other promoters were failing when they moved and continue to fail despite the generous tax payer subsidies. The city and the EDC do not pick winners they subsidize losers and are exceedingly proud of it. Mande is wrong about the Chinese. The China trip is sponsored by a local real estate agent, not the city. This agent is a Chinese ex-pat and a wonderful lady. She pays for this trip out of pocket to promote Myrtle Beach and her real estate business. she has being doing this for many years and only recently invited Mayor Rhodes to tag along. Basically he does not represent the city or the area on this trip. He’s just a (preceived) celebrity used as a marketing spokesperson for a private entity.

A real flake that claims to be a doctor.Hates MB.
