Atlanta:
Margaret Mitchell |
Born and raised a fifth generation Atlantan, Margaret Mitchell,
author of "Gone with the Wind," is recognized as one of the
South's most prominent citizens and noted authors.
Born into
a segregated Atlanta in 1900, her love of writing began when
she was old enough to hold a pencil and stemmed from her mother's
encouragement to read the classics and write her own stories

Key West:
Tennessee in Florida |
One of America’s great Southern playwrights, Tennessee Williams,
also wrote fiction and motion picture screenplays, but he is
acclaimed primarily for his plays — nearly all of which, though
set in the South, rise above regionalism to approach universal
themes.
The first Tennessee Williams Festival is expected to
debut in 2003, honoring the legendary playwright who owned a
home in Key West from the mid 1940’s until his death; a theater
in Key West gratefully bears his name..... more

Myrtle Beach:
Golf the Grand Strand |
Fall
is arguably the single best time to golf Myrtle Beach. The days
are still long enough for eighteen holes, cool breezes make
getting outside a pleasure, and many of the courses and resorts
have fall specials.
This is a town that takes its golfing seriously. How seriously?
Myrtle Beach has spent decades becoming the "Golf Capital
of the World," and with over 120 courses and climbing,
the title seems likely to remain with the Grand Strand for some
time... more

New Orleans:
Mardi Gras 2003 |
Although Mardi Gras is celebrated around the world, no one does
it like New Orleans...the City that care forgot! Mardi Gras
came to New Orleans through its French heritage in 1699 as early
explorers celebrated the holiday on the banks of the Mississippi
River.
Throughout the years, Orleanians have added to the celebration
by establishing Krewes (organizations) which host parades and
balls. Through the years, this electrifying Carnival has become
an exciting holiday for both children and adults.... more

are appreciated by all the people who live here year round,

Spinnaker's Paradise Grill
Site of MTV’s first Spring Break broadcast... this
is the club that started it all! A legendary giant in the history of rock!
For over 25 years, Spinnaker’s Rock Arena has hosted top name concerts in
one of the world’s most awesome beachfront amphitheaters. From Collective
Soul to Jimmy Buffett. They’ve all played Spinnaker. The huge club sprawls
along the beach... during the day, there are volleyball games and waverunners
on the beach, beautiful bodies basking in the sun on the multi-level tanning
decks overlooking the sparkling beachfront pool. At night, Spinnaker throbs
with excitement... bars inside and out, two live band stages, jam-packed
dance floors, massive crowds, killer concerts and even a few little hideaway
bars when you want to take a breather from the dance floor. You won’t find
another club like this anywhere else in the world!

Every
year Panama City Beach transforms itself into a totally different sort of
resort... 11 months out of the year, Panama City Beach is a paradise for
families and middle-aged adventurers who relish the peace and quiet of a
sleepy Gulf Coast community... but... one month out of the year, PC Beach
is WILD! It's Spring Break and over 500,000 Breakers from across the globe
converge on tis 20 mile stretch of beach to party and party.... and party!
In keeping with the transformation, every year, Spinnaker Beach Club, the
very heart of the Spring Break action on PC Beach, transforms itself to
welcome the throngs of young fun lovers... looking for a break from all
the snow and cold and misery of the classrooms up north! Not only does the
club itself change to welcome this totally 'different' group of beachgoers,
but their website is also transformed... from mid-February to April 1, Spinnaker's
website takes on a whole new look!
Now, THAT is making the most of your web presence, and it is a pleasure
to work with the marketing team at Spinnaker to pull off this once-a-year
transformation... enjoy... the Spring Break website for SpinnakerBeachClub.com.
