Banana Republic Revisited is a 10-year update of Will Moredock's 2003 book, Banana Republic -- A Year in the Heart of Myrtle Beach, timed to coincide with Myrtle Beach's 75th birthday celebration. It is a unique historical, political, and demographic profile of this dynamic, crazy southern beach town which has been called "South Carolina on steroids." It is a popular read, but has been used as assigned reading in urban planning classes in at least two S.C. universities. A fascinating study of life in the modern South. Good writing and research and a good fun read.
