Ok so this is a dead thread. Here's why.....happy local regional paper is taken over by giant media conglomerate. Giant media company figured out you can't sell ads to realtors and wet land pavers (err devolopers) on a web page that has a story about a crowd watching a drunk girl take a dump on a crowded pedestrian sidewalk. It's so sad because I know some one stole a pack of crackers from a Scotchman Storeout on Hwy 378 and no one knows but the clerk, the 911 operator and the fuzz. Sad, sad, sad.
These crimes were reported in Horry County, South Carolina. I do not edit or rewrite these."Homest Hoffisher, I don't." They are a wonderful reflection of the worlds in collision at the Redneck Riviera. Here's some of the very best, for a more complete list, click the submenu above.
