Formally known as a Motown hotspot, Charlie’s Place brought many performers and musicians before integration. It provided a place for African-American artists of the day to perform, including Dizzy Gillespie, Little Richard, Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, and many others. Remodeled in 2018 as a community center and business incubator, this area is to be preserved to remember its past.
Make sure to check out the locally-owned shops and nearby Myrtle Beach Colored School Museum.
