À propos de ce contenu audio

 Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Saturday, January 24. We kick off with breaking news on transit disruptions from adverse weather, as Hampton Roads Transit reports last bus trips ending early today on all Southside and Northside routes, so plan ahead if youre heading to the Oceanfront or Lynnhaven Mall and check gohrt.com or call 757-222-6100. This chilly, windy morning with scattered showers will impact outdoor plans, but we expect clearing skies by afternoon with highs near 45 degrees, perfect for indoor events.

From City Hall, were watching pushes for public sector unionization, as Virginia Beach leaders face pressure to expand collective bargaining for city workers, following Fairfaxes lead with 27,000 educators already covered, which could mean steadier staffing for our schools and services. On the job front, Virginias minimum wage hit $12.77 an hour this month, boosting paychecks for about 200,000 workers here and easing hiring at spots like the Boardwalk shops.

Real estate stays hot, with median home prices around $375,000, drawing families to neighborhoods near Red Mill Commons amid low inventory. New business buzz includes talks of a fresh natatorium and gym complex inspired by Norfolks plans, promising community health boosts right here.

Upcoming, catch free Sail250 maritime history talks this weekend at the Cape Henry Lighthouse, tying into our coastal roots. Local schools shine with Virginia Beach Highs team clinching a regional basketball win Thursday, and Kellam posting top debate scores.

In sports, the VB Surf Riders gear up for their next match amid the unions chatter affecting public worker morale. Todays crime report notes no major incidents in the past 24 hours, but we stay vigilant around Pleasure House Road after recent Norfolk-area alerts.

For a feel-good lift, listeners shared stories of neighbors clearing sidewalks near Rudee Inlet after last weeks snow, fostering that tight-knit spirit we love.
