Episode Details

Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for March 21st. We kick off with a big win for our city as the General Assembly approves our shift to a district-based election system for city council, meaning more focused representation from neighborhoods like the Oceanfront to Pungo. This change affects how we vote and shapes daily decisions at City Hall. Meanwhile, Republican Andrew Rice takes the special election for Virginias 98th District seat, filling the vacancy left by the late Del. Barry Knight. On the school front, our School Board votes unanimously 11-0 to ban seclusion rooms in all buildings, prioritizing student safety across campuses like Kellam High. Weather today brings partly cloudy skies with sunrise at 7:05 am and sunset around 7:16 pm, nearly 12 hours and 11 minutes of daylight after yesterdays equinox. Moderate air quality means sensitive folks should take it easy outdoors, and brace for severe storms with a tornado threat hitting Hampton Roads Monday, so secure outdoor plans along the Boardwalk this weekend. In real estate, a stunning 2700-square-foot luxury home overlooking a pond in the Kellam High School district just listed, highlighting our steady market with home prices up about 5 percent year-over-year. Jobs stay strong, with new digital platforms like Grind Flame launching agencies to boost revenue for local MedSpas and home services businesses near Town Center. Crime report from the past day: Virginia Beach Police urgently seek 19-year-old Angel Algarin, last seen entering an Uber near Lynnhaven Mall after concerning family calls, and 54-year-old Sean Francis Regan, critically missing since March 5th from the Kempsville area; if you spot them, call right away. A local man receives 27 years for second-degree murder. Feel-good note: Hope for Life Rescue in our city transforms abused dogs and cats with cage-free care, prepping dozens for forever homes. Catch the First Colonial High spring sports scrimmages today at the school fields, and mark your calendars for the Oceanfronts St. Patricks Day parade reruns this weekend. New business buzz includes Revita Digital expanding services downtown. Thanks for tuning in, listeners, and please subscribe for daily updates. This has been Virginia Beach Local Pulse.
