For almost a century; the heart of Myrtle Beach was defined by a place simply called �the Pavilion.� From the original structure built in 1908; the Pavilion was the center of the resort town�s growing tourism industry. It was a destination point for anyone coming to the Grand Strand. Here you could stroll the Boardwalk; play arcade games; make faces in fun mirrors; ride rides; dance the Carolina Shag; or sit on a bench and watch everyone else do all of the above. The Pavilion underwent several incarnations. The first ones were wooden and vulnerable; but the final was concrete and seemingly indestructible; standing for nearly 60 years. Hardly an architectural marvel; what the Pavilion lacked in grandeur; it made up for in pure old-fashioned fun. The beloved structure and its rides fell prey to economics and a wrecking ball in 2006.
