Update 8/22: It seems everyone is in a nostalgic mood this summer, thinking about Myrtle Beach days gone by.

With our Facebook Group, "You're Probably from Myrtle Beach if..." we've been spending hours reading members memories of decades past and talking with locals both born here and the ones who have been here since at least the Briarcliff Mall days. Coincidentally there are two big Grand Strand anniversaries this month, the first we reported on earlier in the day, Brookgreen Garden's 80th year and now we would like to say congratulations to The Sun News on hitting their 50 year mark

The Sun News has some great stories online chronicling their 50 year history in the area

Over at our Facebook Group we've been collecting some great photos as well. All of the photos have been submitted by Group members and we've decided to showcase some of the best below:

First Report 8/4: Inspired by The Conway Journal's 'You’re Probably From Conway, SC if…' Facebook Group, we decided to create a nostalgic group for all those who are from Myrtle Beach. 

These "you know your from" groups are popping up all over Facebook but there wasn't a Myrtle Beach one yet. In the past 24 hours the You're probably from Myrtle Beach if.... Group has gained nearly 1000 members and has hundreds of memories shared, posts liked and spurred huge conversation threads. 

We want to hear all about your fondest memories: did you spend your teenage nights at the Magic Attic? Party your 20's away at the Purple Gator? Skate at the place now called "The Purple Church?" Remember when there was actually a gate at The Backgate? Also, please feel free to post some pictures from way back when! 

So, what's your city? Conway or Myrtle Beach? Like High School days, we're stirring up that Myrtle Beach/Conway rivalry!
