    Carmen give me a break have I ever been to the Gay Dolphin lol. I'm 68 my parents brought me there every year course my mom loved this place as she was a 6th grade teacher. With my kids we started taking them there in 1983 and my mom of course came with us. I really don't want to know how much I've spent there. Each year at check out time when the kids and me and my wife presented all our items for checkout it was WTF time. Pulled out the credit card and everyone left happy. Id say each year 400-500 bucks so I'd say I qualify for a Gay Dolphin frequent buyers award. That's been going on 40 years now and we will be back down May 6th. So I really loved the video. Like a chapter of my vacation life to garden city and myrtle beach.thanks Carmen and Brian. Guess I got a little chatty lol

    One iconic thing you.kinda missed.... the "i got lost in the gay dolphin" t shirts... you can get lost kn there for sure. I understand the no backpack thing do they still allow you to have bags in general. I can see this from people comin in while on a day out shopping. Guess you could go there first

    Fun video, thank you so much for showing the tour of the Gay Dolphin. I am not much of a shopper these days, but now you have definitely encouraged me to go to the Gay Dolphin on my next trip to Myrtle Beach. I lived in the area many years ago as a child, and I love to visit. Thanks for keeping me up to date on all the new things at Myrtle Beach. Great job!

    I loved your unboxing of the grab bag at the end, so fun!! I remember the gay dolphin having a wall of name patches when I was a kid, like the embroidered kind that gas station attendants would have sewn onto their uniform. When I went back in 2003, I was on a mission to get one there but they were all gone.

    Carmen where is best place to park now for gay dolphin visit. Taking some cousins and kids this year. This changes every year

    • @CarmenandBrian
      @CarmenandBrian  Рік тому

      It depends on how far you can/will walk. There is parking on 9th Ave N on the street and the large parking deck on 9th Ave N but those both charge a fee this time of the year. There's also some free 3 hour parking across Kings Highway/17 business by the large church and lastly there's a free parking lot behind the Grand Strand Brewing Company. But the free options require you to walk a little more than a block.
