  • Virginia Beach Morning Update: Warm Weather, Storms, Voting Rights, and Community Highlights
    2025/07/13
    Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Sunday, July 13th, 2025. We’re waking up to a warm and clear start here at the oceanfront, with the temperature hovering around seventy-seven degrees and expected to reach the low eighties. Humidity is high and those light northwest breezes are keeping things pleasant, but a heads up: the National Weather Service is watching for a possible round of scattered storms this afternoon into the evening. If you’re heading out, especially near the Boardwalk or Town Center, keep an umbrella handy just in case. Boaters and fishers should note there’s a small craft advisory until late morning, with choppy seas and gusts off the coast.

    At City Hall, Virginia Beach is making headlines after a major legal win on voting rights this week. City council members say this could impact how we draw future voting districts and ensure better representation for our neighborhoods. Also, the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia confirmed plans for a significant expansion, promising more support for families facing food insecurity across our area.

    In local real estate, we’re in peak summer season and single-family home inventory remains tight, with average prices holding steady just under four hundred and twenty thousand. Realtors say the most sought-after areas this summer are around Great Neck and Shore Drive, with homes selling quickly, often above asking price. On the jobs front, the city reports around five hundred open positions right now, from hospitality to tech, and several local hotels are hiring for high-demand front desk and housekeeping roles.

    Turning to culture and events, Old Beach Farmers Market is buzzing this morning just off 19th Street. The tents are up, tables are loaded with tomatoes, peaches, and local seafood, making it a favorite Saturday stop for families and foodies. Looking ahead, the Neptune Festival’s summer concert series continues on the oceanfront stage this evening. Come out and enjoy live local music, but be sure to check the sky for pop-up storms before you go.

    In sports, the Virginia Beach Little League All-Stars clinched a spot in the regional finals yesterday, sparking big celebrations at Red Wing Park. Congratulations to Coach Miller and the team for their hard work. Ocean Lakes High School also saw two of its track athletes win state medals—great job representing our city.

    For public safety, Virginia Beach Police are actively searching for a missing fifteen-year-old in the Pembroke area. Officers urge anyone with information to call the non-emergency line. Meanwhile, city fire crews responded overnight to a small blaze in a Sandbridge rental home. Thankfully, there are no injuries reported. On Monday, Naval Air Station Oceana will be conducting a major joint emergency exercise, so expect to see some extra activity on Oceana Boulevard and around municipal buildings.

    On a positive community note, local wildlife watchers are celebrating a successful osprey nesting season on the Lynnhaven River, a sign that our waterways continue to rebound from pollution thanks to conservation efforts.

  • Virginia Beach News: Heat, Events, and Community Highlights - July 12, 2025
    2025/07/12
    Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Saturday, July 12th, 2025.

    We start our day with the weather, because it is definitely a factor in our plans. Right now, it is clear and warm around 77 degrees with high humidity. Temperatures are rising quickly, expected to hit the low 90s by the afternoon, so plan for a hot and sticky day with a heat index in the upper 90s. Winds will be coming out of the west at about 5 miles an hour. Scattered thunderstorms are possible later, especially toward evening, but most of the day should stay dry for outdoor activities. If you are headed out on the water, be aware that there is a small craft advisory in effect through Sunday morning due to choppy conditions and gusty winds, so take caution if you are boating today.

    Turning to city news, a new citywide survey reveals that most of us in Virginia Beach are highly satisfied with city services, ranking above national averages. Residents have been especially positive about public safety and city operations. City Hall is continuing its focus on infrastructure, especially along Shore Drive and in the Town Center, with discussions underway for improvements to pedestrian safety and stormwater drainage. There are also talks about revising the city’s electoral structure, a topic that has sparked some debate over representation and tradition in local leadership.

    On the community front, tonight is Adult Night at Ocean Breeze Waterpark, one of the most anticipated summer events. Tickets sold out quickly for the evening of dancing, a live DJ, and plenty of adult-friendly fun, all after hours and without the kids. For families, the boardwalk at Neptune Park will feature sunset music starting at 7 p.m., with food trucks lining Atlantic Avenue. Tomorrow, keep an eye out for the Sand Soccer Championship finals down at the beach, which is drawing teams from across the region.

    In real estate, activity remains brisk with about 300 homes on the market this week. Median home prices are holding steady near 420 thousand dollars, reflecting strong demand, especially near Red Mill and Great Neck. Job seekers will find new openings this week, especially in hospitality and healthcare. The city posted about 400 new jobs, with Sentara and local hotels continuing to recruit ahead of the busy tourist weeks.

    On the public safety front, Virginia Beach Police have arrested one suspect in connection to a series of smoke shop robberies from back in May. A second individual is still being sought, and authorities encourage anyone with information to call Crime Solvers. Separately, there was a serious overnight crash on Independence Boulevard that sent two men to the hospital. Both are now stable, and police are investigating the cause.

    In schools, Bayside High's robotics team just returned from another top-three finish at a regional tournament, and several local students were recognized for academic excellence at this month's school board meeting—a source of real pride for our community.

    And before we go, a quick feel-good story—a group of volunteers spent yesterday planting pollinator gardens at Mount Trashmore Park, bringing more butterflies and bees to the area and creating vibrant new green spaces for everyone to enjoy.

  • Virginia Beach Wins Key Voting Rights Case, Foodbank Expansion, and Stormy Weather Ahead
    2025/07/11
    Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Friday, July 11th. We start today with some important headlines shaping our community.

    Residents in Virginia Beach have scored a notable win this week as a federal judge ruled that cases challenging our local voting districts can be reopened. This development comes after months of debate and gives citizens a renewed opportunity to have their voices heard in how our city government is structured. Over at City Hall, we’re watching closely as the Planning Commission has unanimously recommended approval for the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia’s rezoning request. This move paves the way for a much-needed new headquarters right here in Virginia Beach. If City Council gives a green light, the new facility will not only double the Foodbank’s capacity but also add community gardens and walking trails, blending their mission with neighborhood wellness. With local hunger on the rise, Foodbank leaders say this new hub can’t come soon enough.

    If you were out and about yesterday, you probably noticed just how much rain we got. Flash flooding caused some roads across the city, including stretches near Lynnhaven Parkway and Newtown Road, to become impassable for a few hours. The National Weather Service expects more scattered thunderstorms today, so if you have plans outdoors or are heading to the oceanfront, keep an umbrella handy. Highs will hover in the upper 80s with humidity well above seventy percent and strong afternoon storms possible. It looks like this unsettled pattern sticks around for the weekend, so event organizers are keeping a close eye on the skies.

    On the housing front, City Council has also approved an outreach campaign on affordable housing. This follows findings from last year’s study reflecting the urgent need for more accessible options across neighborhoods like Kempsville and Bayside. For those job-hunting, the local unemployment rate remains steady at around four percent, but the surge in warehouse and logistics positions tied to new business developments near Corporate Landing Parkway is opening up dozens of new roles.

    In real estate, listings remain tight, but we’re seeing average homes in the Little Neck and Red Mill areas selling within two weeks, often above asking price as demand stays strong.

    Culturally, something special is brewing. The city is kicking off a year-long project chronicling America’s 250th anniversary, with a focus on our local history dating back to Revolutionary times. And on the music scene, anticipation is building for Pharrell Williams’ Something in the Water Festival, with several pre-events scheduled for Town Center this weekend. If you’re into local sports, Cox High School’s girls’ soccer team just clinched the state semifinals, bringing pride to our school community.

    The community also finds ways to give back. A Virginia Beach rescue team recently deployed to Texas to help flood victims, showing once again our city’s strong spirit of service beyond state lines.

    On the public safety front, police report that the city remained relatively quiet overnight, though they remind us to use caution around high water, especially after yesterday’s floods.
