The Grand Strand has a long tradition of hardworking independence and
the enthusiastic pursuit of leisure activities. Myrtle Beach is known as
a hotbed of hearty partiers, and its chronicles include bordellos,
bootleggers, rumrunners, gamblers and a variety of indulgent practices.
From Civil War deserters to the excesses of the disco era, the area has
a wicked streak running parallel to its beaches. Join author and
historian Becky Billingsley as she uncovers the naughty side of the
Grand Strand.
