The chilly weather in New York City right now may not have anyone thinking about enjoying an ice cream cone 🍦 but we wanted to share the news that South of the Border, the roadside attraction in Dillon, South Carolina located just south of the North Carolina border recently demolished both their Ice Cream Fiesta shop and their Pedro’s Tee Shirt Shop. We are not sure why they demolished these fun shops but the @sobpedro motel has fallen on hard times due to the pandemic as far less people have been making the journey along Interstate-95 to stop at Pedro’s.
South of the Border is the halfway point in mileage of the road journey from New York City to Florida. We just visited South of the Border and stayed overnight on our own road trip and when we asked the front desk person why they demolished the buildings, she told us that not only are less people traveling and staying at the hotel, but that it has been difficult for the owners to find people in the area who want to work at the motel and its restaurants and gift shops.
