Conway, South Carolina, USA


Conway is one of the oldest towns in South Carolina and was originally founded in 1732 as the village of Kingston. Conway is currently home to more than 13,000 residents and is the county seat of Horry County. Conway has been designated as a Tree City USA for 24 consecutive years. It is part of the Myrtle Beach metropolitan area and home of Coastal Carolina University. The photo above was taken on their Riverwalk along the Waccamaw River.


It's a town where the flowering pear trees bloom in winter at the end of February.


It's the kind of town where leaving a majestic live oak tree standing in the roadway is more important than cutting it down for the convenience of cars.


It's the kind of town where spanish moss hangs from the trees......


.......And houses are set back a little from the road but, not too far that you can't say hello to folks siting on the porch.


And it's a kind of place where tulips are planted at a simple corner just because they are beautiful.  It's the kind of town that strolling about one would say, "I could live here."
