We’re waking up to a warm summer morning along the oceanfront, with sunny skies and highs expected near 87 degrees. Stay hydrated if you’re heading out, since it’ll feel humid, and keep an eye out for possible scattered showers later this afternoon. Tonight should cool down a bit, bringing a gentle breeze in from the Atlantic that’ll help with evening plans at Town Center or the boardwalk.
In breaking news, eight Virginia Beach first responders have deployed to Texas to assist with flood relief efforts after the devastating weekend storms near San Antonio. Our own Fire Battalion Chief Jeff Smith says the team is ready to help communities hardest hit by flooding, joining crews from across Virginia and showing how our city steps up when others are in need. Back here at home, our public safety teams report that the July Fourth holiday was largely peaceful, though police are investigating a significant theft from a business on Independence Boulevard overnight. There have been no injuries and officers are asking anyone with information to call the Crime Line. Increased patrols continue in the Oceanfront and Pembroke areas as part of the city’s summer safety plan.
At City Hall, council members at last week’s meeting focused on local development and short-term rentals. They approved a new open air market at Sandbridge Road and a conditional use permit for a short-term rental on Baltic Avenue. There’s also talk of increasing fines for illegal short-term rentals and giving the city more authority to remove non-compliant listings. Decisions like these are meant to help protect neighborhoods around Shore Drive and the ViBe District as rentals keep growing.
In real estate, the market remains competitive. The median home price in Virginia Beach is now just over half a million dollars, with most new listings receiving multiple offers within days. On the economic front, our local job market is steady, with city leaders predicting a summer uptick in hospitality positions as tourism ramps up. Several new restaurants are opening at Hilltop and Rudee Inlet later this month, signaling ongoing growth in our dining scene.
It’s a busy week for community events. Tonight, you can join the Virginia Beach Dinner Club for “A Night Out with New Friends,” a great chance to meet neighbors over a delicious meal. The Live on Atlantic concert series continues all week at the Oceanfront, and the Sandler Center will host live jazz performances Thursday and Friday evenings. If you’re a fan of local sports, our high school baseball teams showed strong finishes at the state tournament. Congratulations to the Kempsville Chiefs, who brought home a hard-fought victory last weekend.
A quick school note: The Virginia Beach School Board is holding a retreat and public meeting today and tomorrow at the School Administration Building on George Mason Drive, with in-person and online participation available.
And on a lighter note, a shout out to the students from Princess Anne Middle School, who organized a beach clean-up last Saturday. Their effort drew more than fifty volunteers, making a real difference along the North End and reminding us that a little teamwork goes a long way.
This has been Virginia Beach Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
