...you slept on the parking meters, and then you slept on the Design Review Board passing up 2 decent looking facades for these atrocities...
...it's fricken lime green. How did the building owner let them paint a nice, natural brick building lime fricken green? How did the Design Review Board pass that? When is the water slide going to be finished? And the arcade, and putt putt? Well, I'm going to "cruise the strip" before they put some ordinance into effect.

You know what really grinds my gears!
I'm from Georgetown, so while you are heading to MB and back, stop and eat at Tony's Pizza & Sub Shop!! You won't be disappointed. Another option is stop in Pawley's to see the Perfection Surf Shop and grab a foot long hot-dog at the Kingfisher Pier strip. But, if you miss IOP then you can always go to Debidue...
Huh?
You know, I was going to put the first post up on this....but, I thought I'd wait and see what others had to say. Gee, glad I waited.
It's horrendous and nobody cares.
Trust me I care.... I actually walked into that monstrosity and asked why Lime Green, why not blend with the rest of the block (not to be conformist, but so as not to look like a tourist trap). blank look, no answer. Then I asked about the horrendous lighting at night....another blank look.
But, there is an upside. Just like MB, we can have crack whores up and down Center St. in the winter, just like they have along the whole length of Ocean Blvd. during winter. There's something to be hopeful for.
Radar Operator: Colonel, you better have a look at this radar.
Colonel: What is it, son?
Radar Operator: I don't know, sir, but it looks like a giant...
Jet Pilot: Dick. Dick, take a look out of starboard.
Co-Pilot: Oh my God, it looks like a huge...
Bird-Watching Woman: Pecker.
Bird-Watching Man: [raising binoculars] Ooh, Where?
Bird-Watching Woman: Over there. What sort of bird is that? Wait, it's not a woodpecker, it looks like someone's...
Army Sergeant: Privates. We have reports of an unidentified flying object. It has a long, smooth shaft, complete with...
Baseball Umpire: Two balls.

Baseball Umpire: What is that. It looks just like an enormous...
Chinese Teacher: Wang. pay attention.
Wang: I was distracted by that giant flying...
Musician: Willie.
Willie: Yeah?
Musician: What's that?
Willie: [squints] Well, that looks like a huge...
Colonel: Johnson.
Radar Operator: Yes, sir?
Colonel: Get on the horn to British Intelligence and let them know about this.
The shop in Pawleys is not a "perfection shop." Kelly shapes out of Garden City at Village...
Myrtle Beach def blows and when I saw the beach store off Folly Rd I instantly thought MB. So tacky and ugly.
I believe you mean "We" and not "... you"
Well, it depends on how you look at it. I've been showing up at meetings, but low numbers equal a very soft voice. But your right, "we" would signify some sort of unity... oh, but that doesn't exist. So now "we" figured out the problem together. Let's run with it.
So what can "we" do now that these disney land loving tards have begun to infiltrate the ranks of Folly Beach? I know of the keepfollyfree.com campaign but what else? Should we threaten to assasinate the mayor? Should we begin harrassing would be offenders? Should we launch an underground smear campaign? Should we begin burning all the tacky Myrtle Beach look alike buildings down? Someone needs to step up and lead the charge. How can we go about garnering public support for our cause of preservation? Where and when can we go about pressuring these so called city planners?
We need a leader ASAP. Someone whos a resident of FB and has an extensive knowledge of how to build and throw a molotov cocktail.
Our quaint little surfing village is a stake here.
ouch censored again,folly gets what folly votes for-just like the parking -does the truth hurt comrade censor? only a wuss would censor something that lame.All these issues are 100% the fault of folly residents-wherever theyre from-to the detriment of locals who can't vote on follycause they live on the other side of the marsh.
when they took away the free parking the folly residents(including surfers)were quiet.now some building is the wrong color,and its a big deal,everyone needs to "get together" ,"we need a leader",blah ,blah.
The friggin building will be vacant again soon enough,or maybe yall can have a protest or something and they'll paint over it . big whoop.
Strange priorities.
I don't know what was written to be censored, but until you stop being "anonymous" and at least have the lack of laziness to give yourself some kind of psuedonym to be known by, your opinion is pretty much void and null.
OH and to beat anyone to it I spelled pseudonym wrong.
Nothing has been censored. Anonymously clueless, once again. If it was censored post it again. Maye you hit the wrong key. Or maybe someone on Folly, wherever they may be from, hit the wrong key for you. Lame excuse.
I looked up old kook in the phone book ,I guess you're not listed.
Hypocrite.
When are the meetings being held? And is there anything non-folly residents can do other than being a presence?
The majority of meetings are held at City Hall. Until their is some sort of unity between residents of James Island and Folly, their is no voice. The picture of the Wings building was in the James Island-Folly Beach section of the Post and Courier months ago.
“My attitude towards modernesque construction, specifically on Folly Beach, is that we have kind of an eclectic mix of structure down here,” Kinter said. “We’ve got a saying at the DRB: ‘Keep Folly Funky.’”
Funky and just plain tacky are two different things.
This is interesting for James Islanders also:

pardon my ignorance and probablly spelling as well, but what is that store... another surf shop? With a gigantic dongboard and balls? who allowed that! Is the store owned by locals or yankees? How long has it been there. What the hell is going on and why do i have so many questions?
Finally! I was wondering how long it would take for someone to notice my dongboard and balls masterpiece.
I sure as hell wish that building had a nice dong board and balls. I might accept that as keeping folly funky. As long as there isnt any fum-unda cheese lurking around the base stinking up the joint.
Wings sucks and the new owners are jew jews from...I dont know, not here. I was wondering though about colors. So green sucks right. I also guess neon red sucks(notice the new improved woodys). But Vitamin piss yellow works, its core.
Ouch. I'm crushed.
I couldn't care less if you can sort out one anonymous from another.God you can nitpick.
jew jew?
Yeah, I don't know if anti-semitism is neccesary. The last time I heard "jew jew" was a couple of weeks ago and it came out of a former Folly businessman's mouth. I was shocked to say the least.
I love jew jews - especially the red ones but i hate the black ones.
Rumour has it the upstairs floor of the lime green building is condemned. I really don't understand WTF Folly's DRB is thinking.
Green + Condemned = Funky??
As far as Wing's goes, I'm speechless. Calabash and breakfast buffets next?
I hate how they get stuck to your teeth...
Condemned? Then they may be squatting because their car is always parked out front or across the street. They may be on some Anne Frank sh!t.
