Wonderful tour of Myrtle Beach’s architecture, music, and history - The trolley car was on time. It was a typical trolley car with wood paneling. I walk with a cane and was able to secure a seat in the front with my husband. Katherine was an enthusiastic orator. She shared interesting stories about the music industry in Myrtle Beach. We made one stop at Charley’s Place, which has a very historical value.
