Myrtle Beach was once dotted with many small travel motels and cottages. There were also many large hotels, such as the Ocean Forest Hotel, which stood for many years along the Grand Strand. Another well-known lodging location was the Patricia Manor and the Patricia.
North Kings Highway featured many restaurants that served three meals a day and some that were only open part of the day. Two of the restaurants are shown on the postcard below: The Steak House (beef and seafood) and Raimondo’s North (Italian cuisine and seafood).
