    Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard?
    Mosaic ceilings, painted tiles on the wall
    I can't help but feel somewhat like my body marred my soul
    Handmade beauty, sealed up by two man-made walls
    And I'm like
    When's it gonna be my turn?
    When's it gonna be my turn?
    Open me up, tell me you like it
    Fuck me to death, love me until I love myself
    There's a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard
    There's a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard
    There's a girl that sings Hotel California
    Not because she loves the notes or sounds that sound like Florida
    It's because she's in a world preserved, only a few have found the door
    It's like Camarillo, only silver mirrors running down the corridor
    Oh, man
    When's it gonna be my turn?
    Don't forget me
    When's it gonna be my turn?
    Open me up, tell me you like me
    Fuck me to death, love me until I love myself
    There's a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard
    Don't forget me
    There's a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard
    Harry Nilsson has a song, his voice breaks at 2:05
    Something about the way he says, "Don't forget me"
    Makes me feel like
    I just wish I had a friend like him, someone to give me fire
    Leaning in my back, whispering in my ear, "Come on, baby, you can thrive"
    But I can't
    When's it gonna be my turn?
    Don't forget me
    When it's gonna be my turn?
    Open me up, tell me you like it
    Fuck me to death, love me until I love myself
    There's a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard
    Don't forget me
    Like the tunnel under Ocean Boulevard
    Don't forget me
    Like the tunnel under Ocean Boulevard
    Don't forget me
    Like the tunnel under Ocean Boulevard
    Don't forget me, don't forget me
    No, no, no, don't forget me
    Don't you, don't you forget me (no, oh)

    Yo , this gave me and my friend SO much freedom the summer of 1992 , we were 11 and staying at the Sea Mist . We we're ocean side , and would use this to get back and forth to an ice cream shop across the road
    There used to be these ashtrays that hung from sides of the walls , and we would place our hands behind out back and attempt to spit in the little hole where the butts went , without hitting anything else.

    This is a pretty amazing find. I LOVE stuff like this; gives the city I think more character and interesting qualities (in my opinion). I'm def checking this out when i visit my parents. MB really should have more tunnels like this. It's not only a pretty cool thing to experience/explore but I think it's also safer for busy season to have people walk under the city instead of trying to cross the street. Keeps them safe and keeps traffic flowing.

    That mural on all the walls and mirror actually did exist at one time. My family and I stayed at Sea Mist in June 2007, and we used that walkway multiple times and I thought that was the coolest thing. My mom even took our picture against one of those walls with the mural as the background. I am sad and disappointed to see the murals and mirrors gone 😓 very unfortunate 🙁

    Thanks for showing this. My gf and I have stayed at the Sea Mist 4 times over the last decade or so and she always makes me take the tunnel when we have to cross the street because she likes the murals. Somehow, even though I have a billion MB pics, I didn’t think to take one of the tunnel so as to help indicate how long it’s been since they whitewashed it, but as far as I remember it wasn’t white when we were last there in the summer of 17.
    I don’t remember the mirrors ever being there.
    Also, there’s a hell of a breakfast buffet at Tena’s there on the west side of the street. . Especially if Lular is on the griddle (her French toast is to die for).

    Thanks for your UA-cam Channel. We stayed at hotels or motels in the 1960s in Myrtle Beach until we bought a 1972 Skamper pop up camper trailer and then camped and stayed at Lake Arrowhead Campground in North Myrtle Beach each Summer from 1972 until it was sold. That was the most amazing Campground we would first stay in the wooded campsite until a beach front road campsite was available. I remember when we first started going to Calabash NC for seafood dinners my Dad saying they didn't sell alcohol yet I think they started letting Dad bring his own beer (BYOB) and then later at some point started serving beer 🍺

    We went through here in November out of curiosity and very quickly found out - THIS PLACE SHOULD BE CONDEMNED! It is NASTY! Where that pink lite you noticed is now apparently inhabited by a homeless person and they certainly weren't neat and tidy. It stinks to high Heaven and we six lived for the next 14 days in fear we might have contacted Covid! It may have been a good idea back in the day to get across the street, but I'd take my chances getting run over by a Mack truck rather than chancing another trip through that tunnel!

Then, ironically enough back in May while in the hospital, I started talking about my upcoming trip to Myrtle Beach to one of the nurses and she said the same thing. Her husband was turned off by Myrtle Beach because of the experience but we told them of some.of the other places we stayed and she is going to try to convince him to give MB another chance

My daughter and grandson stayed there 3 years ago. They had to request another room because the 1st one smelled of smoke and cat urine nit to mention it was filthy. The 2nd room wasn't much better. The 3rd night they were there a lady got car jacked and stabbed in the parking deck. They're was several reports of roaches and bed bugs. I was down at the beach last year. When we went by Sea Mist it just wasn't the same. I loved staying there with my kids it was the best place ever. It is very sad to see all these places going down hill.
