Hard Rock Cafe, 1322 Celebrity Circle (Myrtle Beach): 1 October 2016 (moved) 1 comment
Speaking of Myrtle Beach megastructures, one of the most iconic was knocked down last fall: The Hard Rock Cafe pyramid at Broadway At The Beach.
There are tons of articles about this online. Here's one about time time capsule, here's one about the final days, and here's one about the demolition. I've seen it claimed in more than one of them that nothing was wrong with the pyramid, but you have to wonder: to abandon such a well known landmark just seems odd if there were no pressing issue.
In the event, I only ate there once, probably a year or so after it opened, and to be frank, I remember very little about it -- just that I thought it was overpriced for a pretty standard burger given that sitting close to Joan Jett's pants or whatever didn't do much for me. Sort of like Planet Hollywood in that respect I guess.
The new location a few doors down opened on 7 October 2016, but I have not seen it yet.

I went into the new location the day after they razed the old one, and asked about the move. The employee at the front desk told me they had indeed experienced structural issues the entire time they were in the pyramid. Maybe the companies involved didn't want to admit this publicly. The land being cleared will house a new Dave and Buster's eventually.
