This came up Sunday night at a cocktail party of my pickleball friends: A wealthy divorcee who has recently traveled around the globe on vacations was asked to describe one of the resorts she had visited and she said it was like South of the Border outside Dillon SC. As the host of this festivity, I was greatly offended. "South of the Border! That is where I went on my honeymoon and you come here into my house and mock me by denigrating South of the Border. Shame on you! Pedro will always be welcome here!"
Actually, my wife and I honeymooned in St. Augustine FL 55 years ago because we couldn't afford Pedro's resort.

Those who refer to Paris as the City of Light have never beheld Hamer, South Carolina.

I guess you don't have to understand a post, or the comments, to enjoy it all.

If you ever traveled down I-95 through South Carolina, you knew that South of the Border was a tourist trap resort that worked very hard to attract customers. They had signs like the Burma Shave signs every 100 yards down the road and they made traveling fun. Which is a good thing.

It is a shell of its former self. I’m glad we are all old enough to remember its hay day. There are still some good fireworks stores near there.
