Uber reliability on Sunday evenings

Heading to a show at House of Blues on Sunday night - how reliable is Uber on Sunday nights?

I'd hate to get a ride there and then not have any ride availability after the show to get home

Hotels with Indoor Pools

I searched the sub for this and didn't see any posts. Last year I started a tradition with my two sons to go to Myrtle Beach in December for a Christmas present. They love to swim, so we stayed at a hotel with an indoor pool and an oceanfront view, Avista Resort. It was wonderful. I am thinking of trying another hotel this year What is your favorite hotel with an indoor pool and hot tub?

Coming in from Asheville, NC through FEMA vouchers. Looking for for some recommendations for cheap/free things to do and some work

Hey y'all, my girlfriend and I are coming to MB from Asheville today... It's pretty rough up here. We are so so lucky to be safe and have very little home damage but we still have no power or water and probably won't have any for a month at least. It's been a long, difficult week and we are exhausted and ready for some running water.

We haven't been working and are pretty broke so would love any recommendations for cheap/free/relaxing stuff... Specifically looking for:

Thrift stores

Dives and LGBTQ bars

Music and comedy open mics

Local shows

Food banks

My girlfriend does housecleaning for homes and airbnbs if anyone has any work or suggestions.

My workplace was completely destroyed but I may be able to work remotely... I am working in a healthcare call center and will need a completely private place to work from because of HIPAA if anyone has any suggestions or other similar work.

Are there busses from the Airport?

Hi all,
I'm heading to Myrtle Beach in a few weeks with my wife and kid. We weren't planning on renting a car, therefore not bringing a car seat. The hotel we have booked doesn't have a shuttle.
Is there a bus that can take me down the road to our hotel? Are there Ubers with car seats easily available? Should I just rent a car?

Any help or thoughts are appreciated!

Where should I go? Stay here or move?

Hi, I’m a (26 yo Man), I’ve lived up, down, & the middle of the grand strand off and on since 2010, there’s no doubt compared to other places, I love it here… However, there is difficulty meeting new people my age (especially women), and i am beginning to wonder what are the available options I have, I live at home and am self-employed, (looking to increase pay with a higher paying sales WFH job). I graduated high school in the area but have lost touch with friends when I moved to NC with family for a # of years I’m back, been here for about a year and have started a small little business and am doing ok, but would like to do better (working on that). Also another reason why I’m looking for another coastal town or city with more chance to find sales jobs that allow WFH. However, the biggest concern of mine is meeting new friends around my age 18-35 & meeting women. Granted, I have social anxiety and high functioning asd so I’m not as out there as I could be, (I eat no seed oils etc so I can’t go to restaurants or anything like that) so meeting people at tourist and non tourist meeting spots is tough in that regard. I try dating apps and trying to meet people through my business but the age gap of most people out here is really large. So I’m not sure what my next step forward is, I live with my dad stepmom younger stepbrother and much younger brother and we are tight, I feel like I’m the glue that holds it all together, (my dad wants to buy a house with me out here sometime next year) I want that but at the same time I want a higher paying position and I want to make more friends and a girlfriend. What would you do in my situation and where should I go if I should leave? Thanks for reading, looking forward to any and all suggestions.

Myrtle Beach Pier Fishing Spot

Hi! Heading over to Myrtle Beach, SC this weekend. Mostly trying to catch Reds or King Fish. From all the research, it looks like Apache or Cherry Grove are my best bet. Which one do you recommend out of the two?

Best Route to MB

Hello, curious if folks have any suggestions for getting to MB later this month. Driving from Colorado at the end of October, and have no clue what to expect in terms of road closures. The plan is to drive in from Montgomery, AL, so I think we’d be going through Atlanta. Have the floods affected this route at all?

I don’t mean to sound ignorant, but just want to plan ahead. Thank you.

Is it safe to visit or is it flooded?

Hey I’m a college student and already got the hotel months ago to visit the Myrtle beach area this upcoming weekend. I was wondering though with the hurricane If the area is flooded and I would be able to continue with my travel plans? I looked online but depending on the source I got mixed reviews of the current state.

I have a new Kala concert ukulele that I want a Luthier to help me with. It needs some setup (I think) and I want some string advice. Would appreciate some help locating somebody. Google suggests places for guitars, but not ukes. TIA

Have you stayed in October at Ocean Reef resort in myrtle?

I’m looking to know if the pools are warm enough to swim in October. Since the “indoor pool” is technically outside under an awning. Does anyone know if they close it off and put the windows up like they do at some?
