Someone from SC sent this to me and I thought I would share. I grew up in the area and remember so many of these places. Maybe others of you remember them too. The music is great--old "shag" music.

Thanks Jane. Those were the days right?
I think the Gay Dolphin is still around. I was a grill man at The Pavilion in '58 when the seafood platter at the Inlet Kitchen was $1.75..
The title should read "Hotels/Motels"--NOT Models.
Those WERE the days, suewoo. Nothing like a night of shagging at the OD Pavilion.
My friends and I were waitresses in the summers at several of the restaurants and hotels in the area in the '50's while going to college.
I think the OD pavilion was really the "Pad". Maybe you were thinking of "Sonny's" at Cherry Grove.
Ah....the Pad.
Wonderful place. But before the Pad, there was a pavilion where you could dance next to the beach. A hurricane washed it away.
Dang! We are old!
The Pad. Ah memories. it's where I learned to shag. A very long time ago. To "miss grace".
They're still shaggin' down here, in fact about 10,000 shaggers here in N. Myrtle Beach this week for their "Fall Migration" They were dancing in the street yesterday (21st)

Friends of ours had a house at OD/Cherry Grove right next to the first "fine" hotel built there. I can't quite call the name now. There was a real downtown then. This was in the 60's--they changed the name to NMB soon after that. It was a REAL beach then!
It was before "OD" meant overdose.
