Mark
Angelides wrote that "Back in the summer of 1977, my parents
took us for a family vacation to Myrtle Beach, SC and we stayed
at the Howard Johnson's Oceanfront hotel there. The front of the
hotel was very modern looking, although still retaining the classic
orange roof."

By the 2000s, The Sands Ocean Club anchored by the former Howard
Johnson's (middle building) had become a series of buildings connected
by a multi-level parking garage built in front of the property
blocking the street view of the site of the Mansard Restaurant. |
