Not much traffic here, but I’ll add my two cents. While in high school in the late sixties I worked at South of the Border for several summers. Some of my jobs were: train driver and track greaser, elephant tender, chimpanzee sitter, septic truck driver (had bad brakes), carny rides operator (late night, Paul,who went on to marry Betty, would shoot arrows at the ferris wheel cars while at top of its arc), waiter, Pedro (the guy dressed with the hat and serape who you followed on his bicycle to your room), and grounds tender (one time Mr. Saleebe came out with a pair of hand clippers, really scissors, and having cut a tall weedy grass shoot, asked me if I thought that was too hard to do, when I replied no, he then gestured at the hundreds of grass shoots and said well get going then, we workers liked Mr. McDuffie, an old WW1 vet, who was our immediate supervisor better), and garbage truck driver (that was cool as the fireworks store often threw out tons of good, but slightly damaged fireworks which we could salvage for the evenings entertainment), and that is about it. Growing up in Dillon, it was an interesting place to experience new people and culture. I am grateful for my time there and wish the Schaefer’s all the best.

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!
