Costco to Host Book Signing for Myrtle Beach & Conway in Vintage Postcards

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. - May 23, 2016 - PRLog -- Costco to Host Book Signing for Myrtle Beach & Conway in Vintage Postcards

Local author, Susan Hoffer McMillan, will be available to sign copies of book

The connections between Myrtle Beach and Conway, South Carolina form an intricate tapestry of contrasting threads-from the neon glitz of the beach resort to the more reserved colonial town that spawned it. Conway citizens enjoyed the coastal town as a playground in the 19th century, and many even helped steer its evolution during the 20th century into a premier vacation destination by relocating to Myrtle Beach to shape and share in its future. Through more than 200 postcards, many dating from the early 1900s, readers witness a wide array of architecture, from the Ocean Forest Hotel and the early Myrtle Beach Pavilion to the local landmarks that were destroyed by Hurricane Hazel in October 1954. These images also tell the stories of other Grand Strand beaches, as well as of Conway, a quintessential Southern city with historic properties and live oak canopies.

About the Author:
