🌱 Support The Arts This Weekend + Hit-And-Run Driver Found

Hello all. It's me, Karena Garrity, your host of the Patch newsletter. Let's get this day started off right, with a quick review of everything you need to know about what's happening these days in town. Today we'll cover these stories and more:

• Support the arts.
• "Yellow house" causing a stir.
• Hit-and-run driver found.

But first, an exciting local announcement from our sponsor:

Would you love to move to a new home, but worried about finding the right one for you? You know your home will sell right away. And, when homes do hit the market there are packed open houses, multiple offers, over market value, waived inspections and appraisals. But what if there was another way? Val Lyons with CBRE can help. You tell Val what you’re looking for, and she’ll invest her marketing dollars and time to find you Pre-MLS and private sale opportunities. Contact Val Lyons with Carolina Bays Real Estate today or call 774-259-8937. No obligation, no cost — what do you have to lose?

And now, today's weather: Mostly sunny and nice. High: 83 Low: 68.

Here are the top stories today in Myrtle Beach:

1. Support the arts and come to the first-ever, "Youth Performing Arts Festival" in downtown Conway on Saturday, Sept. 23 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. It is a free event that will feature more than 300 students from across the county. Hope to see you there! (WBTW)
2. Fifteenth Circuit Solicitor Jimmy Richardson is seeking to temporarily close the notorious 'Yellow House' located at 407 5th Ave. North, in Myrtle Beach, following numerous police calls and reports of poor living conditions. The house, which has been painted blue, despite being deemed 'unfit for habitation', continues to house people in makeshift shelters. (wmbfnews.com)
3. Mauro Felipe has been charged with "causing great bodily injury" to 19-year-old Christian Devlin, who was hit while biking home from work. Reportedly, Felipe, who fled the scene of the accident when it happened, was found by using video from the night of the accident. Felipe remains in jail under no bond. (wmbfnews.com)
