Virginia Beach Local Pulse: Oceanfront Curfew Vote and Spring Weather Updates
Published 1 week, 3 days ago
Description
Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Thursday, April 16. We kick off with breaking news from City Hall, where our City Council holds a special session at 4 p.m. today in Building 1 on Courthouse Drive to vote on a new all-ages curfew at the Oceanfront. This would ban everyone from Pacific Avenue and the Boardwalk between Rudee Loop and 31st Street after 9 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays through late April, building on the existing 7 p.m. rule for unaccompanied minors. It follows Saturday nights shooting on Atlantic Avenue that wounded eight people amid a group altercation, according to police reports. Mayor Bobby Dyer says well form a task force with community input to tackle violence, and exceptions apply for work, emergencies, worship, or ticketed events. We stay safe out there, listeners.
In the past 24 hours, no major new crimes, but police remind us to report suspicious activity near the resort area. On a brighter note, the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art just opened its bold new building with The Pursuit of Happiness exhibit, drawing crowds for cultural inspiration.
Weather today brings partly cloudy skies with highs near 68 degrees and a light breeze off the Chesapeake Bay, perfect for outdoor plans but watch for scattered showers this afternoon that could dampen evening beach walks. Outlook stays mild through the weekend.
New business buzz includes a fresh farmers market popping up Saturday at the Oceanfront, alongside Thoroughgood House Tours tomorrow and Saturday, reserving spots now at culture.virginiabeach.gov. Job market shows about 500 openings in hospitality and tech downtown, per local listings, while real estate holds steady with median home prices around 425,000 dollars.
Local schools shine with Kellam Highs recent soccer win over Landstown, and upcoming, catch weekend events like live music on the Boardwalk. For feel-good vibes, neighbors rallied to clean Lynnhaven Park, fostering community spirit.
