SC-544 is the handy little cut-through from US-501 to US-17 and can save you a lot of grief if you end up inbound to Myrtle by the north route.  It's less useful than it used to be though, as there are now more lights and a constant 45MPH speed limit.  For many years, the road had a real rural character, and this station is a holdover from that era.  Now however the area is getting more and more built up, and \"regular\" chains are starting to move in.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tednolan.net\/pix\/11-11-13-socastee-beach\/11-11-13-socastee-beach.hi\/p1270967.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tednolan.net\/pix\/11-11-13-socastee-beach\/11-11-13-socastee-beach.low\/p1270967.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tednolan.net\/pix\/11-11-13-socastee-beach\/11-11-13-socastee-beach.hi\/p1270968.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tednolan.net\/pix\/11-11-13-socastee-beach\/11-11-13-socastee-beach.low\/p1270968.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tednolan.net\/pix\/11-11-13-socastee-beach\/11-11-13-socastee-beach.hi\/p1270971.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tednolan.net\/pix\/11-11-13-socastee-beach\/11-11-13-socastee-beach.low\/p1270971.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tednolan.net\/pix\/11-11-13-socastee-beach\/11-11-13-socastee-beach.hi\/p1270974.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tednolan.net\/pix\/11-11-13-socastee-beach\/11-11-13-socastee-beach.low\/p1270974.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tednolan.net\/pix\/11-11-13-socastee-beach\/11-11-13-socastee-beach.hi\/p1270975.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tednolan.net\/pix\/11-11-13-socastee-beach\/11-11-13-socastee-beach.low\/p1270975.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tednolan.net\/pix\/11-11-13-socastee-beach\/11-11-13-socastee-beach.hi\/p1270976.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tednolan.net\/pix\/11-11-13-socastee-beach\/11-11-13-socastee-beach.low\/p1270976.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tednolan.net\/pix\/11-11-13-socastee-beach\/11-11-13-socastee-beach.hi\/p1270978.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tednolan.net\/pix\/11-11-13-socastee-beach\/11-11-13-socastee-beach.low\/p1270978.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tednolan.net\/pix\/11-11-13-socastee-beach\/11-11-13-socastee-beach.hi\/p1270980.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tednolan.net\/pix\/11-11-13-socastee-beach\/11-11-13-socastee-beach.low\/p1270980.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tednolan.net\/pix\/11-11-13-socastee-beach\/11-11-13-socastee-beach.hi\/p1270981.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tednolan.net\/pix\/11-11-13-socastee-beach\/11-11-13-socastee-beach.low\/p1270981.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tednolan.net\/pix\/11-11-13-socastee-beach\/11-11-13-socastee-beach.hi\/p1270982.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tednolan.net\/pix\/11-11-13-socastee-beach\/11-11-13-socastee-beach.low\/p1270982.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tednolan.net\/pix\/11-11-13-socastee-beach\/11-11-13-socastee-beach.hi\/p1270983.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tednolan.net\/pix\/11-11-13-socastee-beach\/11-11-13-socastee-beach.low\/p1270983.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tednolan.net\/pix\/11-11-13-socastee-beach\/11-11-13-socastee-beach.hi\/p1270984.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tednolan.net\/pix\/11-11-13-socastee-beach\/11-11-13-socastee-beach.low\/p1270984.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tednolan.net\/pix\/11-11-13-socastee-beach\/11-11-13-socastee-beach.hi\/p1270985.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tednolan.net\/pix\/11-11-13-socastee-beach\/11-11-13-socastee-beach.low\/p1270985.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Someone can probably look at the gas price signs and make a better guess at exactly when Socastee Mini Mart went under, but I'm pretty sure it was open last summer and not last November 13th (when these pictures were taken -- Unfortunately, it was not a sunny day).
