Coastal Gale Warnings, Restaurant Week Deals, and Community Cleanup Efforts: Your Virginia Beach Local Pulse
Published 3 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Friday, January 16. We start with the weather shaping our day. Light rain and sprinkles linger through the afternoon with temperatures steady around 58 degrees and southwest winds gusting up to 30 miles per hour along the coast and Chesapeake Bay. Boaters, heed the gale warning and small craft advisories, with seas building to 3 to 7 feet, so stay cautious on the water. Things ease up tonight into a mostly overcast tomorrow.
Our culinary scene heats up right now as Virginia Beach Restaurant Week kicks off through January 25, featuring over 50 spots from the Oceanfront to Hilltop with prix fixe menus celebrating local crab, oysters, and peanuts. Grab a deal at favorites like Doc Taylor's or Tulu Seaside and tie into our heritage flavors by land and sea.
From City Hall, we note a recent court win where a city employee beat retaliation claims and got reinstated, reminding us how fair practices protect our workforce daily. Job market stays solid with around 5,000 openings listed locally, many in hospitality and tech near Lynnhaven Mall.
In real estate, median home prices hover near 450,000 dollars, up slightly, drawing buyers to neighborhoods like Kempsville. New business buzz includes the Virginia Beach Development Authority relaunching facade grants for Atlantic Avenue shops, sparking fresh looks soon.
Crime report from the past day: VBPD arrested a suspect in a malicious wounding on Witchduck Road, no serious injuries, and they urge vigilance around that area. Stay safe, folks.
Sports quick hit: Local high schools shine, with Kellam victory over Green Run in basketball last night. Upcoming, catch community events like Stars, Stripes and Spurs weekend this spring at the Farm Bureau Live amphitheater.
For a feel-good lift, Pusha T headlines a Made in Virginia market tonight in Richmond, repping our Virginia Beach rap roots with Clipse vibes. And a heartwarmer: students at Bayside High rallied to restore a beach cleanup site at Croatan Beach, picking up over 200 pounds of trash.
