Our previous Mystery Photo

Our Nov. 9 photo, “Orange archway?” should have been easy-peasy to anyone who has driven past South of the Border on Interstate 95 in Dillon County. It was a close-up of a Pedro sign.

HISTORY: South of the Border

S.C. Encyclopedia | Located just south of the North Carolina border near the South Carolina town of Hamer, South of the Border has long captured the attention of travelers on U.S. Highway 301 and Interstate 95. The beer distributor Alan Schafer (1915–2001) opened a one-room beer depot on the border in January 1950 to sell beer to dry Robeson County, North Carolina. Construction materials for the new business were delivered to “Schafer project: south of the border,” inspiring the name “South of the Border.”
