From the Editor's Desk

Her name is rio

I've only been to a churrascaria once - and I'm still full. Churrascaria, for the uninitiated, is a Brazilian/Portuguese term that roughly translates as "barbecue," but might as well mean Meat-a-palooza. Servers, known as gauchos, come by your...

ghosts in the machine

Are there ghosts living among us? It seems an ever-increasing amount of folks seem to think so. You're not really considered wacky anymore if you describe a ghost encounter - and recount your tale with conviction, and specific examples and details.

under the boardwalk

I'm a virtual packrat. I save various e-mails and electronic press releases, because you really never know when you might need them - although the volume is enough to bog down my e-mail account on most days.

lip-rippin' time in the inlet

Since our politicians up on Capitol Hill keep yapping about transparency, let's start with full disclosure: I am a judge in Sunday's 10th annual Lip-Rippin' Chilympics Cook-Off benefit for the Surfrider Foundation held at Spud's Waterfront Dining/Crazy Sister Marina in Murrells Inlet.

In with the new; what to do with the old?

I picked up Tuesday morning's newspaper and was immediately drawn to the story about yet another historic Myrtle Beach building set for a date with the wrecking ball.

Rocktober rules the beach

I only went to one of the city of Myrtle Beach's official Oktoberfests and I think it was in 2001 at the baseball stadium that was then known as Coastal Federal Field. A buddy of mine and I went, we surveyed the crowd of mostly senior citizens sitting under tents in the outfield grass, we scarfed down a couple of...

Summit and Surfside Odd Bedfellows?

I recall a few years ago getting a press release about something called the Southeast Music and Entertainment Summit happening in Myrtle Beach, promising networking for independent rappers, singers and anyone interested in the urban music industry.

Block to the Future

While I don’t frequent the area at night too much anymore, the downtown Myrtle Beach section known as The Superblock – and more recently rechristened as 5 Points – holds a special place in my heart.

It’s where I got to know the other Myrtle Beach – the non-tourist geared nightlife, the places where true locals hung out.

A photo finish

We are the non-picture-taking Kimes clan. The rest of my family is snap-shot happy, and some friends of mine have taken what seems like thousands of photos of their kids, downloaded them to social media sites and their iPhones and CrackBerries.

Experimental Home Brewing

Lately, I've been conducting an experiment of sorts at home.

Whereas I am a big fan of microbrews - especially India Pale Ale (IPA) and its intending hoppiness - the habit can get rather expensive.

So, with the economy still in the crapper but my thirst for beer remaining constant, I've been dabbling in the, shall we say, economy line brews.

Pigskin Pontifications

I, like many of you, am not a native of Horry County, although I have lived here nearly a decade and consider myself a local.

And I’ve been an official South Carolina resident not once, but twice, as I’ve shuffled back and forth between here and my home state, Georgia.

See You Soon

From the Editors Desk column by Kent Kimes will return next week.

Making Waves

One of my wife’s more recent – ala not classic – favorite flicks is the 2002 surfer girl drama “Blue Crush.”

I bought it on DVD for her and gave it to her for Christmas or her birthday, I can’t recall which. The funny thing is, even though we own it and can watch it at any time, if “Blue Crush’’ comes on TV, she’ll sit and watch it, commercial breaks and all.

Feast or Famine?

OK, a show of hands out there: How many of you have ever attended a South by Southeast Music Feast concert at the Myrtle Beach Train Depot?

How many of you know what I’m talking about?

Tattoo You

Me and my brother were talking to each other
‘Bout what makes a man a man
Was it brain or brawn or the month you were born?
We just couldn’t understand . . .

Summertime and The Readin's Easy

First things first: yes, I did take a beach vacation last week, and not a so-called “staycation,” despite the fact that I live less than two miles from the Atlantic’s sandy shores.
