Welcome to Myrtle Beach Bike Week 2009

 

From what I hear the following new ordinances were approved on
September 8 by the City of Myrtle Beach:

 * The establishment of an “infraction” hearing process outside of the
usual criminal court process, to provide for issuing citations and
processing violations of the proposed ordinances.

* Defining and declaring unpermitted events and rallies to be “public
nuisances” and prosecuting them along with an effort to seek
“financial redress” from the violating parties.

* The requirement to apply for an exemption to a new law to close
liquor establishments at 2 a.m. if a business is in violation of a
number of requirements involving increased security, food service,
parking lot and container materials among other rules.

* Adding city prosecution to county prosecutor power to prosecute
those who walk out of restaurants without paying their tabs.

* Requiring anyone under 21 attempting to check into a hotel to be
accompanied by a parent or responsible adult to verify identification
and to require parking stickers, cards or other IDs for each vehicle
in the hotel’s parking lot.

* A ban on the possession or consumption of liquor, beer or wine in
parking lots abutting public rights of way.

* A ban on the destructive use of landscaping areas that are
established by zoning law.

* A prohibition on the parking or storage of any boats, boat trailers,
semitrailer, tractor trailer, or oversized vehicles on public streets
and certain private lots. Impoundment could result.

* New requirements for convenience store security between the hours of
11 p.m. and 6 a.m. including security cameras, drop safes, cash
management and lighted parking lots.

* A curfew for anyone under 18 between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m. unless good
cause is shown as listed in the laws provisions.

* A ban on the operation of motor vehicles that do not have required
EPA (federal) stickers on their mufflers. Those without stickers
(stamps) would be required to undergo tests to determine if they are
in compliance with federal EPA standards.

* A ban on loitering and refusing to leave a private business or
parking lot when requested or when there are conspicuous “no
loitering” signs.

* A ban on more than one vehicle parking in a single public parking
space.

* A requirement to wear a helmet and eye protection.

I say we all go take up one space and have one cup of coffee in the
closest place to do so,

that should raise some eyebrows from the business owners <grin>

Some place in PA tried that rule, so the local motorcycle enthusiasts
arrived one morning and parked, one per space, in every space in the
downtown area.  When the tourists arrived, they had no place to park.  
The rule was changed quite quickly.

But what I don't understand is why anyone would go to Myrtle Beach
anyway.  Bunck of racist, non-welcoming asshats there, fuck them.  
There's other places that want motorcycle dollars.  Support them.

george,
sometimes the truth isnt pretty, its just the truth.  the business owners
decided to shut down during black bike week not because the riders were
black, but because they destroyed the local businesses (yes, ive seen it).
the expenses involved in theft as well as rebuilding their businesses from
damages after black bike week exceeded their income during black bike week.
this wasnt a one time occurance, it happened every year.  that they decided
to shut down their businesses to avoid the losses does not make them
racists; it makes them smart businessmen.
