Description
In this week's Tidewater Talk, We dive into Virginia Beach's ongoing public safety saga, including the new $10 million lawsuit filed by two people arrested during the Oceanfront curfew—one a resident walking home, the other an independent journalist challenging the idea of "press credentials."
We revisit last year's carnival cancellation and note this year's advance notice due to security constraints. We also spotlight Virginia Beach Parks & Rec's new Fit Pop initiative launching at Red Wing Park, plus a full local weather run-down: warm temps with midweek showers and thunderstorms, cooling by late week, and a sunny Mother's Day before rain chances return Sunday evening.
For our Strange and Odd of Tidewater, we explore Smithfield's charmingly quirky identity—painted pig statues, a museum-hosted century-old ham with its own "HamCam," and a town that proudly leans into its history. We wrap with Tidewater Tips for Mother's Day outings—from brunch options to a Botanical Garden walk-and-talk—and pose our question for next week: Where's the best place to take your mom (and how was it)?
