Thrilling Sports, Community Spirit, and Mild Weather in Virginia Beach
Published 2 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Sunday, February 15. We kick off with some exciting local sports from yesterday that had our community buzzing. At TowneBank Arena in the Jane P. Batten Student Center, our Virginia Wesleyan mens basketball team took on Washington and Lee, drawing 411 fans for a thrilling matchup that showcased our rising athletic talent. Over in womens track and field, senior Alice Etienne shattered her own school record in the triple jump right here in Virginia Beach, earning NCAA provisional marks alongside three teammates, proving our student-athletes are dominating on home turf. Womens lacrosse also hit the field against Virginia Wesleyan, keeping our weekends packed with action.
Shifting to city updates, were noting holiday impacts ahead with Presidents Day on Monday closing many services like city offices, libraries, and schools, similar to patterns in nearby Hampton and Norfolk where trash collection shifts to Wednesday. Plan accordingly for smoother daily routines. Weather today brings mild temps around 52 degrees with partly cloudy skies and light winds off the Chesapeake Bay, perfect for outdoor walks along the boardwalk but watch for possible afternoon showers that could dampen evening plans. Outlook stays cool through midweek.
On the business front, no major openings or closings hit our radar this weekend, but keep eyes on Atlantic Avenue for fresh spots. Real estate sees steady movement with about 250 homes listed around 400,000 dollars median, favoring buyers in Kempsville. Job market holds strong at roughly 25,000 openings citywide, especially in hospitality near the oceanfront.
Community events upcoming include a free family fun day at Mount Trashmore Park tomorrow if weather holds, and live music at 17th Street Park this Wednesday. Local schools report solid achievements, like Kellam Highs debate team topping regionals. For public safety, past 24 hours stayed quiet with no significant incidents or arrests reported by Virginia Beach Police, keeping our neighborhoods secure.
And for a feel-good lift, listeners shared stories of neighbors rallying to clear driftwood from Croatan Beach after recent tides, turning cleanup into a block party that strengthened our tight-knit spirit.
