Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for March 7, 2025.
We're starting with breaking news from earlier this week. A fatal crash occurred on Virginia Beach Boulevard in the early hours of March 2nd. Theodore Ford Jr., a 36-year-old Norfolk resident, was pronounced dead at the scene. The Virginia Beach Police Department's Traffic Safety Unit is investigating the incident and urges anyone with information to come forward.
In city developments, Virginia Beach has given the green light to install speed cameras in school zones. This decision, made on March 4th, aligns our city with five other Hampton Roads localities that have implemented similar measures. The move aims to enhance safety for students and pedestrians in these areas.
On a brighter note, we're excited about the upcoming Read Across America celebration. The City of Virginia Beach is joining the National Education Association for this event on March 7th and 8th. It's a great opportunity for our community to come together and promote literacy.
Looking ahead to this weekend, the AAU Track & Field Indoor National Championship kicks off today at the Virginia Beach Sports Center. The event runs through March 9th and promises to showcase some of the best young athletic talent in the country.
In business news, we're seeing continued growth in the Town Center area. While Legal Sea Foods has closed its doors, Armada Hoffler, the property manager, is actively seeking a new tenant. There's also buzz about a potential Trader Joe's coming to the former Bed Bath & Beyond site, which could be operational by 2026.
For sports enthusiasts, we're proud to report that three TCU Horned Frogs have qualified for the NCAA Division I Track and Field Indoor Championships. The event will be held right here in Virginia Beach at the Sports Center on March 14th and 15th.
In real estate, the Virginia Guesthouse in Charlottesville is set to open this fall, replacing the previous Cavalier Inn. While not in Virginia Beach, it's an exciting development for our state's hospitality industry.
On the culinary front, our city welcomes Victoria's Pizza, a new pizzeria focusing on homegrown, organic ingredients. It's a great addition to our local food scene.
Weather-wise, we're looking at a mild day with temperatures in the mid-60s. It's perfect for outdoor activities, so consider checking out one of our beautiful parks or beaches.
Lastly, in public safety news, the police department continues to investigate recent incidents. They remind residents to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activities.
This has been Virginia Beach Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
