The Country's Biggest Tourist Trap: South of the Border

I was born and raised in Fayetteville, NC, about 45 minutes north of SOB. As teenagers, we would drive to SOB just to walk around and act the fool. We would even go as an evening date sometimes and just walk around, grab an ice cream, a couple of bumper stickers and a ride to the top of the sombrero. As I grew older we would go just to "get away for awhile" . And once I had a child, yes, I took him to see it too. The kids love it. Yes it's cheezy but it's part of the NC/SC heritage now. It used to be better and I've seen it in worse shape but it's there and it's whimsical. We would always love reading the signs when we would take trips to Myrtle Beach and back. It's not meant to be any more than it is. A whimsical pit stop along the highway. Just enjoy it and stop making fun of it. anrousse
