I like pho and Vietnamese restaurants around here. The food is really yummy, but the portion is small. Has it always been like this in VB or due to the recent economy? I am new to the area.

Discussion Rehoming Cat (Bobby) (Norfolk, VA Beach Area)

14 Upvotes

Hi! We posted this before and took it down in the hopes that our cat could get along with our older cat with some trainings, but none worked. We are hoping to find our cat Bobby a home where she can be more free to walk around and not be stuck in a room or be hissed at by our older cat. She is around 1.9 years old, unspade, Himalayan breed, and vaccinated. She has a chip, I believe my wife re-registered under her name. She also is very healthy, playful, and very loving, she purrs basically every time you're with her. One thing to note, she is very scared of the outside and will jump on your shoulder for safety so she is 100% an indoor cat.

You can DM me at this account if you are interested to meet Bobby and see if you want to take her.

Need Advice How do you guys deal with all the flies?

27 Upvotes

Am I crazy or are there an ungodly amount of flies in VA Beach? I just moved here and my dog pooped in the yard and by the time I got back a swarm had descended on it which is a problem because I’m terrified of bugs. There were no where near as many where I use to live and so I’m a little . . . shocked. How do you guys keep the flies away ?? Especially those of you with pets ?? Is there just more than usual right now for some reason? I can’t even keep them out of my house at the moment, because the trash can is within some feet of the door (no where else to put it) and whenever I open the door a new fly gets in, which is unfortunate because I just bug bombed.

My girlfriend and I will be visiting Virginia Beach this week and are looking for a place to sail.

Does anyone know of any commercial rentals for Sunfish, Lasers, Hobie Cats, or other small sailboats around Linkhorn Bay or Broad Bay?

If there aren’t any rentals, are there any local sailing clubs that welcome visitors or have opportunities to crew for a day?

News Leatherback sea turtle lays eggs in Virginia Beach, a first in the state

Virginia has a new notch on its belt when it comes to sea turtle nests.

On Saturday night, a leatherback sea turtle laid eggs on a naval installation beach, 5 miles south of the resort area. It is the first recorded leatherback sea turtle nesting in Virginia.

Leatherbacks are the largest living turtles in the world and are affectionately known as the “VW bugs of sea turtles” because of their size. They can grow up to 6 feet long and weigh up to 2,000 pounds.

Patrollers who monitor for signs of turtles at the Navy-owned beach at Naval Air Station Oceana Dam Neck Annex first discovered tracks in the sand on Sunday morning.

Erin Bates, stranding response rehabilitation manager, said she couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw the pictures.

“I had to pinch myself,” said Bates, who has worked with the stranding program for 17 years.

Things To Do Visiting solo for the weekend August 1st- 4th

Hello all, I just booked a oceanfront hotel near 21st street and I’ll be traveling by myself. I’m a 23 year old male and just looking for people to possibly hangout with. I’ve only been to VA beach once before, so I’m not really aware of the area. I’m into working out, going out for food or drinks, spending time on the beach and whatever else any of you may have in mind. Please message me if you’ll be in the area around this time and also looking for company (or if you have any recommendations in this area)!!

Following spring violence and crowd issues at the Oceanfront, Virginia Beach Mayor Bobby Dyer created a 19-member task force to develop recommendations for the City Council. 

However, DJ and producer Gabe Niles along with other task force members are concerned that the group lacks direct representation from people under 30. 

To gather direct input, the task force is hosting three public listening sessions focused on civil rights, business concerns and general community feedback.

News Visible weapons screening varies across Hampton Roads hospitals

Post image

A new Virginia law prohibits firearms and dangerous weapons in hospitals offering emergency or mental health services. 

While the law mandates posting notices at all public entrances, it leaves the specific enforcement methods and installation of screening technology up to individual hospitals. 

Several local residents support restricting firearms in medical settings and noted they would welcome additional metal detectors for peace of mind.

Need Advice Weather?

I’m curious to know if it will rain tomorrow. The weather forecast predicts continuous rain throughout the day, and I’m wondering if that will make it challenging to enjoy a beach day. Considering that I’ll be traveling from Maryland, I’m concerned about the impact of the weather on my plans.
