WAXIPEDIA

MYRTLE BEACH - 1980

These great postcards show the famous 'Beach Boulevard' in beautiful Myrtle Beach, South Carolina as it was 35 years ago. 

Once home to a Ripley's Believe It or Not! Museum, Castle Dracula, Guinness Hall of World Records and the Myrtle Beach National Wax Museum, Ripley's is the only one still around today (though it's exterior had changed quite a bit over the last decades).

Though do not lament to, fans of WAXIPEDIA, because this great beach-side town once again contains a world class Temple of Paraffin People with the opening, in the Summer of 2014, of the countries fourth Hollywood Wax Museum!

(These postcards are from the private collection of Timothy Randall and are apart of the ever growing 'WAXIPEDIA ARCHIVES'.)
