    They need to move the pelicans across from the board walk in the empty lot near the seafood place and David Busters but I don't think city council wants that since it buch of elder and a feamle mayor we all know that majority of women don't like sports not trying to be sexist but she trying to bulid all elderly town. I just we get a pro team some day heck Myrtle Beach should of gotten the A's down here but I think wnba or NBA would be better less maintenance and less up keep in taxpayers.
