Grand Strand Today – A New Chapter in Myrtle Beach’s Lifestyle Scene
My favorite beach town, Myrtle Beach, has something exciting to share! It’s all about local flavor and community spirit, and we’re thrilled to talk about the transformation of SC Weekend into a fabulous new lifestyle show named Grand Strand Today. This vibrant journey began on September 14th, 2020, and boy, has it been a wild ride!
The Launch at Brookgreen Gardens
The first live show kicked off at the stunning Brookgreen Gardens, where Host Halley Murrow and Camera Photographer Dustin Ivy set the stage for what would become a beloved local staple. They aimed to showcase the best of the Grand Strand’s hidden treasures, businesses, and events that make our community so wonderful.
From Hidden Gems to Popular Eateries
One of the highlights of this show has been the segment Dining with Dockery, hosted by First Alert Meteorologist Andrew Dockery. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you’re missing out on a culinary adventure! Andrew takes us on a yummy journey, visiting restaurants all over the Grand Strand and spotlighting delicious fare that any food lover would drool over. From scrumptious local seafood to cozy cafés, there’s something tasty for everyone!
Supporting Local Businesses
Grand Strand Today isn’t just about food; it’s also about celebrating our local businesses. Companies like Brava Med Spa have become partners in showcasing everything from skincare treatments to wellness strategies, ensuring our community stays looking and feeling fabulous. It’s a win-win situation, as this partnership not only supports the show but also gives us a chance to learn more about the services that our hardworking local businesses provide.
A Behind-the-Scenes Look
While viewers often see Halley and Andrew on screen, let’s give a big shoutout to the incredible team working tirelessly behind the scenes. The engine driving the show includes TMP Director Larry, who has been on board since the inception, and Reporter and Producer TJ Ross, who has been crucial in expanding the show’s reach. Together, they ensure that every episode is filled with engaging and entertaining local content.
Connecting with the Community
As the show continues to grow, it’s the loyal viewers who truly keep the spirit alive. Recently, a small group of dedicated fans had the chance to join the show, and the energy was contagious! It’s moments like these that remind us how important it is to connect as a community and support one another.
Looking Ahead
As we look to the future, the team behind Grand Strand Today is eager to bring even more local, fun, and engaging content to our Myrtle Beach audience. With each episode, they strive to uncover new experiences, showcase community events, and highlight unique stories that make our home so special. There’s no doubt that the show has enriching potentials, and we can’t wait to see where they go next!
