Loris, South Carolina may be one of those places people have heard of, driven through, or only recently discovered when they realized their new home address says “Loris.” But this small town in northern Horry County has a story worth knowing.
In this episode of Coasting, Celia heads to Loris for a conversation about railroad roots, small-town pride, major growth, and one very important local dish: chicken bog. The episode begins with Samantha Norris, Executive Director of the Loris Chamber of Commerce, who shares the history of Loris, how the town developed, what makes it unique, and how the community is experiencing the growth now reaching this part of Horry County. We also talk about the Loris Chicken Bog-Off Festival, one of the town’s signature events, and why chicken bog has become such an important part of the town’s identity. Then we shift from history to flavor with two local restaurant owners: Ritchie Ward of Ritchie’s General Store and Eatery and Nick Conner of Shorty’s Grill. Ritchie and Nick both serve chicken bog, but on different days and with different recipes. Ritchie brings a culinary background and family connection to the conversation, while Nick brings the kind of personality and storytelling that makes small-town restaurants feel like gathering places, not just places to eat. Together, this episode explores why Loris is gaining attention, what newcomers may come to love about it, and how food, family, history, and growth are all part of the town’s story.
Whether you already know Loris, just moved nearby, or are still asking, “So… what exactly is chicken bog?” — this episode is full of small-town flavor.

Pickleball is more than a game — especially in North Myrtle Beach.
In this episode of Coasting, Celia talks with Ken Chaney, a PPR-certified pickleball instructor, competitive player, and familiar face on the North Myrtle Beach courts, about how pickleball is helping people find community, connection, fitness, and fun.
Ken shares how the sport helped him quickly find his people after moving to the area, why pickleball has become so popular with players of all ages, and what beginners should know before stepping onto the court for the first time.
They also talk about the growing demand for pickleball in North Myrtle Beach, the fundraising efforts supporting new courts, and how future tournaments could bring more players, visitors, and dollars into the local community.
And of course, we couldn’t talk pickleball without a little lingo lesson. From the kitchen to the dink, Celia gets a crash course in what to say when you want to sound like you know your way around the court.
Whether you already play, want to learn, or are simply curious about why pickleball has taken off so quickly, this episode is about more than paddles and points.
It’s about pickleball, people, and place.

Downtown Myrtle Beach is more than a location. For many people, especially those who remember the Pavilion, it is tied to music, rides, summer nights, family memories, and the feeling of having a place to gather.
But downtown is changing — and helping it become meaningful again takes time.
In this episode of Coasting, Celia talks with Jason Greene, President and CEO of the Myrtle Beach Downtown Alliance, about the long work of revitalizing downtown Myrtle Beach.
Jason shares why Myrtle Beach became his place, what people are really missing when they talk about the old Pavilion area, and why the goal is not to recreate the past, but to build a downtown that can matter again in a new way.
They also discuss the Arts & Innovation District, the role of private residences, restaurants, events, Grand Strand Brewing, the HTC Aspire Hub, and the public-private partnerships helping move the vision forward.
This conversation is an honest look at progress, patience, and the behind-the-scenes work required to help downtown Myrtle Beach become a place where people gather, invest, return, and make new memories . . . again.

You don’t have to be an art expert to walk through the doors of the Myrtle Beach Art Museum.
In this episode of Coasting, we sit down with Liz Miller, Museum Curator at the Franklin G. Burroughs-Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum, for a conversation about one of Myrtle Beach’s true hidden gems.
Tucked along the oceanfront, this beautiful museum offers far more than many people realize — rotating exhibits, classes, programs, events, opportunities for local artists, and a welcoming space where curiosity matters more than credentials.
We also talk about the museum’s current exhibit, “A Lasting Impression,” featuring works connected to some of the most recognizable names in art, including Renoir, Degas, Picasso, and Mary Cassatt. What makes this exhibit even more fascinating is that these pieces were not brought in from some faraway museum — they were already here, loaned by local residents.
Liz helps us understand what a curator actually does, how exhibits come together, what makes this museum so special, and how anyone — even someone who says, “I’m not really an art person” — can walk in, look around, ask questions, and feel at home.
Because you’re allowed to be new here.
And you just might discover that Myrtle Beach has an art scene you didn’t know we had.

If you've ever pulled up a weather app, watched a hurricane track, or wondered why it's pouring five miles inland while the beach is sunny...this episode is for you.
Andrew Dockery and Jamie Arnold, the trusted meteorologists from WMBF News, climb into the Coasting Convertible to pull back the curtain on the business of weather.
We tackle hurricane season, the biggest misconceptions people have about meteorologists, how AI is changing weather forecasting, and what newcomers to the Grand Strand should know about living in a coastal community.
But if you’re familiar with these two, you know it isn't just about weather. You'll hear stories about Jamie's not-so-secret obsession with snow, Andrew's love of golf and great food, their shared appreciation for a good beverage, and the dynamic that's made them one of the Grand Strand's favorite weather teams.
And as a bonus, just for you . . they’ll share a few impressive meteorological terms to casually drop at your next dinner party...
Forecast?
Funny... with a chance of hurricanes.

If the Grand Strand had an official ambassador, the choice would be unanimous: Greg Rowles. For decades, Greg has entertained audiences across the Carolina Coast through music, television, community events, and now the Greg Rowles Legacy Theater, where guests are welcomed not as customers—but as friends gathering in his living room. In this episode Greg shares stories about the parents who inspired him, the music that shaped him, and the journey that led him to become one of the area's most beloved entertainers. We talk about life on stage, life behind the scenes, and the creation of Legacy Theater. We explore what it takes to build a cast that feels like family, why making people feel special matters, and how a lifetime spent in entertainment has taught Greg the true value of connection, gratitude, and joy. Expect laughs, stories, singing! In other words... joy.

Have you BEEN to Conway, South Carolina lately?
Because if you haven’t… you might not believe everything that’s happening there.
In this episode of Coasting, we sit down with Adam Emrick, City Administrator for the City of Conway, to uncover how this historic river town is transforming into a true destination — on purpose.
From turning downtown into “Halloween, SC” each October to reimagining holidays year-round and driving new energy into local businesses, Conway has created a vibrant identity that stands on its own.
We also explore what it takes to tell that story to the world, how the city earned recognition as an All-America City, and what’s ahead — including plans for a waterfront hotel and the redevelopment of the former Santee Cooper site into a new inland beach, marina, and outdoor destination.
Because what’s happening in Conway isn’t by accident…it’s being built with intention.

Some stories are too important to forget.
In this episode of Coasting, we sit down with architect Jessica Wise and retired Air Force Colonel Buddy Styers to explore the story behind the new Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Myrtle Beach — and why it matters so deeply to this community.
For Colonel Styers, this isn’t just history. It’s personal.
He shares memories of growing up here in Myrtle Beach — playing baseball with friends who would later go off to Vietnam… and never come home.
Those stories are part of what makes this memorial different.
We also talk about how a space like this is designed — not just as a structure, but as a place for reflection, connection, and remembrance. From the symbolism behind its elements to the voices that helped shape it, this is a project built with intention.
Because remembering isn’t just about the past… it’s about making sure those stories are never forgotten.

No windows. No doors… and yet somehow, everybody wants one.
If you’ve spent any time along the Grand Strand, you’ve probably noticed them everywhere — cruising down side streets, heading to the beach, or rolling through neighborhoods on a Friday night.
They’re not just for golf courses.
In this episode of Coasting, we sit down with Chris Graul, General Manager of Gone Coastal Golf Carts, to explore the golf cart lifestyle that has become a defining part of life in Myrtle Beach.
From understanding the different types of carts and pricing options to learning where you can (and can’t) drive them, Chris breaks down everything you need to know — including the rules, etiquette, and what makes this mode of transportation so popular with locals.
We also dive into the fun side of golf cart culture — from neighborhood cruising and parades to fully customized, “tricked-out” carts that turn heads wherever they go.
It’s not just a ride.It’s your new lifestyle.
👉 Recorded live on the Tea Patio of the Franklin G. Burroughs – Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum in Myrtle Beach, SC.
