Myrtle Beach Hotels Oceanfront were thrilled to hear that a well known national chain, like Hard Rock Cafe,  had intentions of spending $450 million dollars to build a theme park in a central downtown location.  Property managers,  who rent Myrtle Beach Condos,  ratcheted up annual expectations to homeowners for increased Summer returns.  As of this writing in late August 2008, with just the Labor Day Summer weekend remaining,  it is clear that the park has underperformed in its first Summer out of the box.  The Park opened to great fan fare with South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford appearing and a sold out Rock and Roll concert that featured the Eagles.  Afterwards,  attendance,  which was budgeted at over 20,000 guests daily,  rarely averaged over 5,000 visitors on its best days.  In ... 08/27/2008

Last night when I came home from celebrating a birthday, I noticed our sink drain was starting to get a funny smell. So, I grabbed the baking soda & vinegar to fix it. Right as I was about to begin, my wife asked, "Why don't you do a video about it for your blog?" I was stunned I had not thought of it! So, if you ever have a drain that has a bad smell, watch this brief video to learn how to clean it out and deodorize your sink quickly, safely, and easily. There are many other ways to clean your sink, but I think this way is one of the most fun and very safe. With toxicity becoming a more and more prevalant concerns, this is a completely non-toxic way to clean your drain. Here is the recipe I use: 3-4 Tablespoons Baking Soda2 Cups Distilled Vinegar2-3 Cups Hot Water If you have any quest... 08/26/2008

On Tuesday evening my wife and I planned to enjoy dinner out.  We had been planning for the past few weeks to visit Wild Wing Cafe at Barefoot Landing in North Myrtle Beach.  The reason we wanted to visit there on Tuesday evening is that every Tuesday, they have Two For Tuesday wings.  That means if you order either 8 or 12 wings you get an additional 8 or 12 free.  So in the rain, we headed on our journey.  Living in The Farm at Carolina Forest which is so centrally located in Myrtle Beach, makes getting to Barefoot Landing, Broadway at the Beach, or anywhere else a breeze.  Once arriving, I dropped my wife off at the door with the baby and headed on my journey to find a parking space.  Because of the rainy weather, everyone was out shopping, dining and enjoying Barefoot Landing.  I f... 08/14/2008

     After an evening out with my girlfriends, I entered the freeway heading home.  There was my ex-boyfriend on the billboard advertising himself (he's an attorney here).  I've seen his billboards around town, and never paid much attention to them, but tonight he just stood out.     Not even 5 miles later another billboard stared back at me:  my ex-husband's billboard (advertising his housing development), another 5 miles, another one of his billboards.   I wondered how many people's mistakes were staring them in the face on the way home?     This week I also got the new signs for my business.    Since I am particularly sensitive to signage this week, here is a collection worth peeking at.  Enjoy!   Myrtle Beach Real Estate by Mirela Monte   Join the Optimist Group!      Gee...  Thank... 06/29/2008

Can you guess how old the woman right beside me is (second one from the right)?  She is 47 years old.  She looks like she is still in her twenties.  I couldn't believe it when I saw her last year; she looked ten years younger than when I saw her last, which was one year prior.  I begged her to tell me what she was doing.  She leaned forward and whispered "Bio Identicals".   "Whatever they are, I want some", I demanded.    Suzanne Sommers delves into "Bio Identicals" in her best selling book "Ageless".  If you have not yet discovered this best kept secret, don't walk; run and get the book!    Your Myrtle Beach Real Estate Connection, Mirela Monte    Join The Optimist Group! 06/27/2008
