SURFSIDE BEACH, S.C. (WPDE) — The Town of Surfside Beach Planning Commission moved forward with new regulations governing the operation of cannabis dispensing businesses, smoke shops, and tobacco stores. Planning Commissioners have been debating the legal ramifications of a new vape shop ordinance since the town enacted a moratorium on new smoke shops in October 2024. Town officials seek to limit those types of establishments in an attempt to maintain a 'family beach' atmosphere.

👀 the CWS chaos continues! Arizona takes down #5 UNC! A 2016 WS rematch awaits @CoastalBaseball in the first leg of the NCAA College World Series in OMAHA!

This is what a real coach looks like. Someone who is not afraid to share deep thoughts and feelings then uses that to drive a passion that he then instills into his players. Happy for the CCU and Schnall family!

"This was nine years ago we went to Omaha. In the fall our son had a stroke. When we went to Omaha we decided the kids were going to stay back. He better now and if we every go back, he's coming, there coming and these guys have award him that opportunity." Kevin Schnall https://t.co/5ZajmVqyYt
