This morning along the boardwalk, crews are out early cleaning up after the festivities. Don’t forget that if your waste and recycling pickup was scheduled for yesterday, it’s happening today instead. City administrative offices remain closed this weekend but get back to normal hours Monday.
Turning to City Hall, City Council approved new short-term rental permits for properties on Baltic Avenue and Newstead Drive in their last session, aiming to keep up with visitor demand while enforcing tougher regulations on unlicensed rentals. They’re also looking at environmental concerns, as community advocates have spoken out about proposed filling of the Oceanana Barrow Pit near Oceanana Boulevard. Council is weighing both economic and environmental impacts, and more updates are expected in next week’s meeting.
Weather-wise, we’re waking up to warm and humid conditions. Expect highs near ninety today, with a slight breeze off the ocean. It should stay mostly sunny, but we could see a popup thunderstorm late this afternoon, so keep that in mind if you’re planning to visit the beach or join the final day of the Totally Tribute Music Fest at the Oceanfront’s 17th and 31st Street Parks. The event wraps up tonight with classic rock covers and food trucks, making it a can’t-miss for music fans.
Looking ahead, the next few weeks are packed with events. Point Break Music Festival comes to the Oceanfront later this month, and art shows continue at 24th Street Park. Our schools are on summer break, but Princess Anne High’s robotics team just took first place in a regional competition, putting Virginia Beach students back in the spotlight.
On the real estate front, home sales along Shore Drive and in Kempsville remain strong. Median prices are holding above four hundred fifty thousand, reflecting steady demand as families move into the area.
Public safety has been a priority this holiday weekend. Police report an overall safe Fourth, with only a few minor incidents related to fireworks along Pacific Avenue. Officers made quick arrests, and no major injuries were reported.
Finally, a feel-good moment: Local volunteers surprised lifeguards and sanitation crews at the Oceanfront this morning with breakfast and handwritten thank you notes, showing community spirit is very much alive.
This has been Virginia Beach Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
