  • Creating a Destination: How Conway, SC is Defining its Own Identity - Coasting Podcast EP#14

    Creating a Destination: How Conway, SC is Defining its Own Identity - Coasting Podcast EP#14
    Jun 2 2026
    Have you BEEN to Conway, South Carolina lately? Because if you haven’t… you might not believe everything that’s happening there. In this episode of Coasting, we sit down with Adam Emrick, City Administrator for the City of Conway, to uncover how this historic river town is transforming into a true destination — on purpose. From turning downtown into “Halloween, SC” each October to reimagining holidays year-round and driving new energy into local businesses, Conway has created a vibrant identity that stands on its own. We also explore what it takes to tell that story to the world, how the city earned recognition as an All-America City, and what’s ahead — including plans for a waterfront hotel and the redevelopment of the former Santee Cooper site into a new inland beach, marina, and outdoor destination. Because what’s happening in Conway isn’t by accident…it’s being built with intention. 👉 Recorded live on the Tea Patio of the Franklin G. Burroughs – Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum in Myrtle Beach, SC.

  • Built to Remember - Coasting Podcast EP#13

    Built to Remember - Coasting Podcast EP#13
    May 19 2026

    Some stories are too important to forget.

    In this episode of Coasting, we sit down with architect Jessica Wise and retired Air Force Colonel Buddy Styers to explore the story behind the new Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Myrtle Beach — and why it matters so deeply to this community.

    For Colonel Styers, this isn’t just history. It’s personal.

    He shares memories of growing up here in Myrtle Beach — playing baseball with friends who would later go off to Vietnam… and never come home.

    Those stories are part of what makes this memorial different.

    We also talk about how a space like this is designed — not just as a structure, but as a place for reflection, connection, and remembrance. From the symbolism behind its elements to the voices that helped shape it, this is a project built with intention.

    Because remembering isn’t just about the past… it’s about making sure those stories are never forgotten.
