Discussion Take: July here sucks ass

90+ degrees all month and downright swampy air, zero wind, it finally rains and now I'm seeing a bazillion house flies. It's been like this every year I know, we live on a coastal plain, gulf stream, blah blah blah, but it feels like the freaking tropics...can't wait for fall

News Rabbit invasion? Virginia Beach resort area sees influx of plant-destroying bunnies

Tracey Bracey-Smith knew something was amiss in 17th Street Park when she watched the weather report on a local TV news station in May.

The camera panned across the park — a shot that should have showcased hundreds of flowers Bracey-Smith’s landscaping crew just planted. But none of the flowers came into view. 

“The particular time that I saw it, I was like, I know we just planted. Where are the plants?” said Bracey-Smith, a ground services supervisor for the city.

The culprit?

A band of beach bunnies.

This is the first year that city landscaping crews have seen an abundance of rabbits hopping between the plantings along the Boardwalk, nibbling on the grass in the public parks and wreaking havoc on the foliage.

Need Advice Don’t judge.

0 Upvotes

So I’m sure some won’t agree but I don’t care. I’m looking for a safe secluded place to take my very young daughter to shoot her little .22 Cricket rifle. She has shown a lot of interest in it but I will not take her to the local shooting ranges. Waaay too many bigger caliber firearms and people I don’t trust. Looking for ideas. The mini rifle is about as loud as a fire cracker and shoots a bullet smaller than an average sweet pea for those not familiar with firearms. If anyone knows of a farm or a multi acre property in the Virginia Beach area that would accommodate us it would be greatly appreciated!

News Virginia Beach doctor pushes hospitals to establish protocols for dealing with Parkinson’s patients

Retired Virginia Beach physician Howard Weinberg, who lives with Parkinson’s disease, must take his medication every six hours within 15 minutes of his scheduled time to prevent serious mobility complications and falls.

National data shows that one in six hospitalized Parkinson’s patients suffer avoidable complications because standard hospital rounds often fail to align with strict, individual dosing schedules. 

As an ambassador for the Parkinson’s Foundation, Weinberg is advocating for clearer hospital protocols and self-administration partnerships to ensure patients receive their medications on time.

Need Advice N Great Neck and Shore Drive Cameras?

0 Upvotes

So last Saturday night turning left from great neck onto shore drive the other driver next to me in the 2nd turning lane had merged into my lane and damaged my car. We pulled over exchanged information and decided to handle things privately (stupid I now know). I’m not from here and 25 and I just didn’t know Virginia laws. He led me on to believing he’d pay for the 2 estimates he asked me to get until he realized my newer car would cost more then he realized. He filed through his insurance (information he wouldn’t give me) and claimed I was the one who merged into his lane and damaged his car. Unfortunately from what I can tell there’s not much I can do as it’s a “he said she said” situation and he didn’t write in text expressing fault and I didn’t file and on scene police report…. so it’s up to me independently to acquire the evidence. Any help? 😭

Hi! Husband and I are looking at going to Virginia Beach for a small baby moon in early August. Depending on when we go I’ll be around 6-7 months pregnant. Trying to figure out which is the best resort. We are ultimately looking for relaxation, a nice pool, and easy beach access. We’ve narrowed it down to Hilton Virginia Beach Oceanfront and Marriott Virginia Beach Oceanfront Resort. Any advice that might help us make a decision would be very helpful!

News Push to build new road to Sandbridge gaining steam in Virginia Beach

Thumbnail
pilotonline.com
62 Upvotes

VIRGINIA BEACH — Sandbridge Road, a two-lane winding thoroughfare with ditches on each side, is the only way to Sandbridge Beach. Every time it has closed over the years — for a wreck or a flood or a downed power line — thousands of residents and visitors have had no way in or out.

Emergency vehicles can access the area through Naval Air Station Oceana Dam Neck Annex. Residents can as well under certain circumstances, but that requires a surge of naval security and Virginia Beach police officers to control the route.

A push to build a new road to Sandbridge is nothing new, but it’s gaining momentum again following two recent accidents that shut down the road. City and Navy officials are urging an expedited environmental review of alternative route.

“It’s a safety concern,” said Elaine Fekete, president of the Sandbridge Beach Civic League. She’s lived in Sandbridge since 1995 and says road closures have increased in recent years.

A new road

A reliable alternative would slice through the northern part of Back Bay Wildlife Refuge, which concerns environmental groups about potential effects on birds and other animals.

The project would extend Nimmo Parkway 1.9 miles between Albuquerque Drive in the Lago Mar neighborhood to an improved section of Sandbridge Road via a city-owned right-of-way. A 800-foot bridge would be built over Ashville Bridge Creek in the refuge. Nimmo Parkway Phase VII-B would include a two-lane undivided roadway with shoulders, bike lanes and a shared-use path.

Extending Nimmo Parkway would have minimal effects on private property, requiring no business or residential relocations, according to the city and the Virginia Department of Transportation. It also has fewer impacts to wetlands and streams than redesigning roughly 3.4 miles of Sandbridge Road, which is bordered by homes, businesses, cemeteries, a church and the refuge.

The extension would tie into a recently improved 1-mile section of the east end of Sandbridge Road, which was completed last fall. Those improvements included straightening and elevating the road as well as adding 12-foot-wide travel lanes, new on-road bike lanes, a 10-foot-wide shared-use path, a widened shoulder, new reflective pavement markings, LED street lighting and pedestrian lighting.
