It's so part of my childhood, and I have so many fond memories of the place. My family tell all their tales of Myrtle Beach. My mother remembers shagging in the Pavilion, and sneaking into the Bowery and trying to look old enough to be there and being chased out by the bartender! My dad used to tell about the time he got thrown off the dancefloor in the Pavilion for doing the 'dirty dog' - the Police came and escorted him off the premises! He was a marvelous dancer.
Good times there. It's so sad that it's all gone. Well the organ and the carousel are at Broadway, but Ocean Boulevard was such a cool place when I was a teenager, and sadly, those days are long past. They are just in our memories now.
