there isn’t one on the grounds of South of the Border, but there are three across the NC state line adjacent to SOTB

I remember as a kid seeing the billboards along I95 on family reunion trips from New England to Myrtle Beach. Genius marketing btw! We would bug the crap out of our parents for 200 miles until they caved and stopped at one of the biggest tourist attractions in the south east. Good times, good times! Happy 60th SOTB!

For a while things were getting a little worn … however, we’re rejuvenating South of the Border from top to bottom! In the past year we’ve done lots of renovations in the shops, added new, updated souvenir inventory, and are working on bold new things to come! Be sure to stop by to check us out!

Every spring for last 10 years or more I stop at SOB on my return to CT. from Florida,On my getting into SC from GA. I so look forward to the first SOB road sign,I read everyone and chuckle,my concern is that over the years I notice less and less of the things that the signs mention are not in operation and more and more things closed,is hard times delivering a toll on SOB. I’d hate to see SOB shut down,is it doing good,Fair? or just terrible?

I first became acquainted with Pedro on my first road trip to Florida in 1973 (I must have been 15). We didn’t stop in at that time.

It wasn’t until some time later, after getting married, some time after my sister moved to Florida when her daughter was about 4 or 5 (she’s 27 now). To give my niece a thrill, we actually PULLED INTO South of the Border and called her from a public phone there (pre-cell phone days).

At some later date (although not MUCH later), my sister’s family stayed overnight there on their way to spend Christmas in Northern VA - again to give their daughter a thrill.

We (hubby & I) finally stayed with Pedro ourselves on our way to Florida (to visit BOTH sisters) 2 days before Christmas. We’re not as young and invincible as we once were, can’t do the whole 1000 miles / 18 hours “straight through” anymore.

We were pleasantly surprised with the room. The thing that was most notable to me was that the clean, well-kept room smelled SWEET - so many times you stay at a hotel or motel, even very nice ones, and they either smell like toxic cleaning chemicals or like insectide. And always a pleasure to find a little fridge in the room!
