  • Vandalism on Bonney Road, Oceanfront Safety, Steady Real Estate, and Community Happenings in Virginia Beach

    Vandalism on Bonney Road, Oceanfront Safety, Steady Real Estate, and Community Happenings in Virginia Beach
    2025/04/12
    Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Saturday, April 12, 2025.

    Starting with breaking news, Virginia Beach Police are investigating a series of property damage incidents along the Bonney Road corridor. Over 30 reports came in earlier this week for shattered car windows, with at least 14 victims reporting stolen items. Officers remind us to lock our vehicles and keep valuables out of sight while urging residents with security footage to come forward. It’s a sobering reminder to stay vigilant in protecting our property.

    In another safety update, the recent shooting at the Oceanfront on 17th Street resulted in one arrest. Thankfully, no injuries were reported, but the incident has reinvigorated police efforts to ensure safety as visitor numbers increase with warmer weather. Expanded use of technologies like ShotSpotter and FLOCK cameras will help authorities monitor activity in crowded areas. This comes as businesses like Old Time Photos remain committed to serving the community while advocating for continued security investments in the tourist district.

    Now, shifting gears to local development, the Virginia Beach Development Authority recently discussed the city's public-private partnerships, reflecting on a $30 million net gain for our tax base from recent projects. Exciting updates include investments in the Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater and redevelopment plans for the Dome district, promising a bustling season for entertainment and tourism.

    On the real estate front, the market remains steady, with median home prices hovering around $380,000. This aligns with a broader trend of growth as new projects attract homebuyers looking for vibrant community living.

    As for jobs, opportunities are on the rise, with openings at the Oceanfront for seasonal workers and new positions in development projects. Local businesses are also hiring across various sectors, from hospitality to construction.

    Looking ahead to the weekend, there’s plenty to enjoy. Tonight, the Sandler Center for the Performing Arts hosts a jazz ensemble sure to delight music lovers, while live performances continue at the Oceanfront as part of the spring music series. If you’re bringing the family out, check out the farmers' market this morning on Dam Neck Road for local produce and crafts.

    In community news, congratulations to the students of Princess Anne High, who took home first place in this week’s regional robotics competition. Their innovative designs showcase the incredible talent in Virginia Beach schools.

    Weather-wise, today will be sunny with highs near 70 degrees and light breezes—perfect for outdoor plans. The dry conditions provide an excellent backdrop for enjoying events around the city. Looking ahead, expect cooler temps tomorrow with a chance of showers in the evening.

    Finally, here’s a feel-good story to brighten your day: A group of local volunteers came together this week to plant trees along Shore Drive, enhancing both beauty and eco-consciousness in our city. A big thank you to everyone who lent a hand in making our community greener.

  • "Virginia Beach Updates: Crime, Business, Arts, and Community Generosity"

    "Virginia Beach Updates: Crime, Business, Arts, and Community Generosity"
    2025/04/11
    Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Friday, April 11, 2025.

    We start with breaking news from the Oceanfront. Police made an arrest earlier this week after gunshots were fired near 17th Street last Saturday night. Officers responded swiftly to a crowd of 200 to 300 people, and thankfully no injuries were reported. Xavier Gatling, from Georgia, was charged with recklessly handling a firearm. Virginia Beach Police assure us their presence will increase as warmer months bring more visitors. They’ve also highlighted the use of advanced technology like FLOCK cameras and ShotSpotter to enhance safety. Let’s hope for a safe and vibrant summer season at the Oceanfront.

    In other public safety news, police are investigating a rise in “smash-and-grab” car thefts along Bonney Road. Residents are encouraged to lock vehicles, keep valuables out of sight, and report any suspicious activity. Stay alert, Virginia Beach.

    Turning to city hall updates, the Virginia Beach Development Authority is buzzing about tourism boosts from events at the Amphitheater and upcoming plans for the Dome redevelopment. These public-private projects are expected to generate millions for the city while expanding entertainment options. It’s a promising season for local businesses and visitors alike.

    Speaking of businesses, a new café, Shoreline Brews, just opened on General Booth Boulevard, offering cozy vibes and locally roasted coffee. But not all news is cheerful—after nearly 20 years in Town Center, Coastal Threads Boutique will close next month. The owners cite rising rent as the reason. It’s a reminder of the challenges small businesses face.

    Looking at real estate, Virginia Beach’s housing market remains competitive, with median home prices exceeding $435,000 as of March. For those in the market, now’s the time to act as inventory is expected to tighten further.

    On the cultural front, the Virginia Beach Arts Festival kicks off tomorrow at Mount Trashmore Park. Enjoy live music, food trucks, and local art vendors—it promises to be a fantastic family outing. Also, the Sandler Center hosts the Virginia Symphony Orchestra this Sunday for their spring concert, featuring classical favorites.

    In sports, congratulations to the Bayside High School girls’ soccer team for their big win against Ocean Lakes, clinching a 2–1 victory last night. Meanwhile, the city is gearing up for the Shamrock Half Marathon this weekend, so expect some road closures near the Boardwalk.

    As for the weather, it’s a beautiful day ahead with sunny skies and highs in the low 80s. A light breeze makes it perfect for outdoor plans. Tonight will be mild with lows around 60, so enjoy the cool evening.

    Finally, in a feel-good story, students at First Colonial High raised $15,000 for local animal shelters during this year's Paw Power campaign. Their hard work reminds us of the generosity within our community.

  • Virginia Beach Local Pulse: Shooting Probe, Trader Joe's, Surf Lagoon, and Resilient Oceanfront

    Virginia Beach Local Pulse: Shooting Probe, Trader Joe's, Surf Lagoon, and Resilient Oceanfront
    2025/04/11
    Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Friday, April 11, 2025.

    We begin with some breaking updates from our vibrant city. The Virginia Beach Police Department confirmed that a shooting occurred last weekend near the 400 block of Osprey Street, tragically claiming the life of 20-year-old Joshua Rice. This incident is under investigation, and police encourage anyone with information to contact the VBPD Detective Bureau or Crime Solvers. On another note, last Saturday, shots were fired near 17th Street at the Oceanfront, where an arrest was made. Thankfully, no one was injured. With warmer months ahead, police plan to escalate their presence in crowded areas to ensure public safety.

    Switching gears to city development, big things are coming to the Town Center neighborhood. A Trader Joe’s grocery store may soon occupy part of the old Bed Bath & Beyond building, joining Golf Galaxy in revitalizing the space. For residents in the area, this addition could mean more convenient grocery options without needing to travel to Hilltop or beyond. Also, the new Atlantic Park surf lagoon and entertainment venue, Atlantic Dome, are nearly ready to open. From seasoned surfers to beginners, the 2.6-acre surf lagoon powered by Wavegarden technology is a unique addition to our coast, backed by Virginia Beach’s own Pharrell Williams. Its accompanying concert venue, with a capacity of 5,000, is set to become a year-round cultural hotspot.

    Speaking of cultural spots, the Virginia Aquarium is offering an engaging exhibit, “Emotions at Play,” inspired by Disney and Pixar’s *Inside Out.* Perfect for families, the exhibit runs through May 4, with interactive displays exploring core emotions. Meanwhile, the Southern Watersheds Symposium is happening today at the Virginia Beach Convention Center, bringing together environmental leaders to discuss the health of our vital watersheds.

    In the world of sports and schools, Virginia Beach high school athletes continue to make waves. The Beach District’s spring sports are in full swing, with recent soccer and lacrosse matches drawing attention for their impressive performances. Over at the Virginia Beach Sports Center, elite prep athletes are gearing up for the upcoming VA Showcase, promising some record-breaking track and field moments.

    For job seekers, the local market shows signs of growth. The recent expansion in Town Center, along with rising retail occupancy rates, means more opportunities are on the horizon. Real estate, too, remains strong, with properties near the Oceanfront drawing interest as summer approaches. If you're considering buying or selling, now might be a good time.

    Looking forward, we’ve got several events this weekend to brighten your plans. Tomorrow, Red Wing Park hosts its annual Cherry Blossom Festival, where you can enjoy traditional Japanese performances, family-friendly activities, and the beauty of the Yoshino cherry trees. Don’t miss it!

    Finally, let’s talk weather. Today, we’re expecting partly cloudy skies with a high near 66 degrees and a light breeze—a perfect day to head outdoors. However, keep an umbrella handy for tomorrow, as showers are likely to move in during the afternoon.

    Before we wrap up, here’s a feel-good story to warm your heart. A local business owner at Old Time Photos, near the Oceanfront, shared how they’ve rebounded quickly from minor damage caused by last weekend’s chaotic crowd. "We’re resilient,” they said. “Come down and enjoy the area—the Oceanfront is open for business and ready to welcome you.”
