📰 In the news
Community support for service heroes: Fishing for the Mission 22 South Carolina will host a free suicide prevention seminar in the Myrtle Beach area on March 11, with experts teaching how to spot warning signs — get all the details.
Safe haven in the works: National nonprofit Isaiah 117 plans to expand in Horry County, offering space for foster kids to wait for placement with clothes, toys, and care as DSS manages about 150 children — get all the details.
Legacy meets fresh perspective: Kings North Golf Course in the Grand Strand has reopened after a two-year redesign, honoring Palmer’s vision. The 18th now has far fewer bunkers, drawing praise from Myrtle Beach golfers — see what’s changed and when.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.
Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.
Highlights this week:

💎 Local business spotlight
Pie craving, solved: Key Lime pie at Croissants Bistro & Bakery is bright, creamy, and weeknight-perfect. Pick one up with your coffee, stash it for later, and upgrade the couch hang. Tangy, smooth, and satisfyingly simple, this slice delivers exactly what your evening wants.
Fresh gesture upgrade: When you want something brighter than a beach sunburn yet far more charming, Little Shop of Flowers crafts hand-tied bouquets that feel personal… birthdays, apologies, or just-because wins. Their Market Common creatives spin your idea into table-worthy blooms your kitchen might actually brag about.
Chase the climbing itch: Beast Ninja channels your climbing cravings into full-body fun with obstacles, grip tests, and a friendly, try-again spirit for kids and adults. If you’ve been missing a real climbing spot nearby, this place scratches the itch and proudly torches forearms… in the best way.
These aren’t ads or sponsored placements, just some cool nearby spots we think are worth a visit.

🫶 We got your back
Your data is for sale right now: There are over 400 websites selling your info to marketers, political campaigns, and scammers. They’ve got your phone number, home address, relatives’ names… you name it. That’s how robocallers seem to know everything about you before you pick up. You can remove your info one site at a time, or pay a service to do it for you. Here’s what we recommend →
Why your last diet didn’t work: Sustained weight loss is nearly impossible with diet alone. Your body literally fights back by making you hungrier the moment you start restricting calories. That’s why more doctors are recommending GLP-1s. The best part? Getting them has never been easier. We compared three programs to help you find the right fit. See which ones stood out →
What doctors wish every 65+ adult had at home: Physicians call it “long-lie,” and it’s the real reason falls are so dangerous for older adults. It’s not a broken bone… it’s lying on the floor for hours waiting for someone to notice. We dug into the options that actually solve this problem, and one stood out. See which one →
Thinning hair? It only gets worse: A few months ago, I noticed my ponytail getting thinner. I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, etc.) but mostly just hoped it would fix itself… until I learned that active follicles can permanently go dormant if you don’t do something about it. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Check out my favorite online options →
