Myrtle Beach Real Estate by Dennis G. Blanton

As most are aware, there is always some sort of events taking place in Myrtle Beach. Here are a few upcoming events in Myrtle Beach, SC.

Anyone who knows me well is aware of the fact that I can be a rather picky eater.  I am not a fan of salads, and not the craziest about certain vegetables.  On the other hand, I am a huge fan of steak, chicken, pork, and just about any other meat out there.

I think that is one of the reasons I love Rioz Brazilian Steakhouse in Myrtle Beach, SC.  I have eaten there on several occasions and absolutely love it!  My wife and I decided to visit Rioz yesterday for lunch and take advantage of their winter special.  During the months of January & February, they are offering half price on their feast on Sundays. 

When I say feast, I am by no means exagerrating.  For those who have never been to a Brazilian steakhouse before, let me explain how the meal is served.  You start out by enjoying the very extravagant hot/cold salad bar that features everything from fresh sushi, shrimp cocktail, & fresh mozzarella to Black Beans & Rice. 

Once you finish with the salad bar you then let your Gauchos know you are ready for the main course by flipping over your card to show you are now ready for the meats to start coming.  Also, you are served at this time fresh mashed potatoes, cheese bread, fried bananas, and polenta. Gauchos will then stop by your tables offering you fresh hot cuts of all types of meats that they carry on long spears. They have everything from filet mignon to Parmesan encrusted pork and more.  You can see the full list of the 17 different types of meats available here.  The meats will keep coming until you say stop. 

While there are many delicious desserts available including my favorite creme brule, we so full yesterday, that we just finished with a nice piece of fresh toasted pineapple.  The meal for two of us was just under $40.00.  I believe it was an exceptional value.  The service was phenomenal as well.  The General Manager who was extremely busy yesterday even found time to stop by our table, ask how everything was and even took time to comment about how cute our daughter is.  I guess that explains why there was a 2 hour wait yesterday for Sunday Lunch! However, if you ask either myself or my wife, the wait was well worth it.

Well, on Tuesday January 20, 2009, the blizzard of the year blew into Myrtle Beach.  Temperatures were down lower than normal and that funny white stuff called snow was falling from the sky.  The snow continued to fall for a few hours and there was some major accumulation on the ground. 

As your local Myrtle Beach Expert, I quickly grabbed my camera and grabbed a few shots. 

Luckily, the blizzard only lasted a few hours and temperatures today are supposed to return back into the mid 60's!  That is why I love living in Myrtle Beach, SC!

I just finished reading an article on AOL that shared the top real estate searches on their website.  Myrtle Beach Real Estate was among the top 5 searched areas.  Other notable cities included Miami, San Diego, and Phoenix.  I was surprised to see that Myrtle Beach Real Estate was searched more times than some others cities like Atlanta, Orlando, & even Austin.

I believe there are a few reasons for this increased interest in Myrtle Beach Real Estate. First, there are many new attractions here. With attractions like Broadway at the Beach & The Market Commons, combined with so many fabulous restaurants & golf courses make Myrtle Beach very appealing.

Another reason people are considering Myrtle Beach is because the great weather we have!  This year I enjoyed putting the outside decorations up in shorts!  If you don't believe me, look here! The temperature that day was in the mid 60's!!!

The final and one of my favorite things about Myrtle Beach is the Beach!  You can relax along the Golden Mile and enjoy watching the waves crash while listening to the seagulls nearby.  The pictures speak for themself.
