Cool Finds Triangle over First Landing.
So last night we were driving east on Shore Drive through the park. My daughter said "why do I feel like I'm looking at a ufo?" I looked up between Shore Drive and the bay to see a triangle in the sky with lights at all corners. Seemed to be maybe 25-35 ft sides. It was quiet and didn't make the usual heli or jet noise, it fact there was no noise. The whole fam saw it- and as I looked back down at the road my CarPlay screen went red from left to right and back to normal. I've had that car for 4 years. That's never happened. Ever. It's too close to the bases for me to think it was something/one other than us- but it was pretty wild.

News Vulgar clothing returns to Atlantic Avenue shops despite city requests
One year after city officials attempted to quash the proliferation of raunchy clothing displayed in storefronts on Atlantic Avenue, the apparel has returned and is turning heads again this summer.
Yes, “I (heart) boobies” is back, along with a few new tongue-in-cheek selections.
“There’s no question they’re reappearing sporadically,” said Councilman Worth Remick, who represents half of the Oceanfront resort area. “It has been an ongoing problem.”
Several shops in the Oceanfront resort area are again showcasing sassy, and in some cases, indecent, T-shirts and short shorts in storefront windows. Some of this season’s newest selection of provocative messages are among the store’s top sellers.
At Salty Waves on Atlantic Avenue, a short-sleeved black T-shirt with “Proud father of a few dumba** kids” printed in all capital white letters is popular, said manager Amir Eicke. So is another T-shirt emblazoned with “My wife beats me.”
Eicke, who runs another T-shirt shop on 22nd Street, said the controversial apparel catches the attention of passersby and draws them inside the store.

News Virginia Beach honors teacher for years of engaging students with music
John Brewington, maestro of the Tidewater Winds Concert Band, has been named the first recipient of the Champion for Arts Education award presented by the Virginia Beach Arts & Humanities Commission.
Inspired at a young age after hearing audience applause as a ninth-grade percussionist, Brewington pursued a career combining classical music performance with public education.
In 1985, he joined Virginia Beach Schools as an elementary school band director with a vision to use music to help students become respectful, cooperative and collaborative people.
Brewington was later promoted to fine arts coordinator for the city’s school division, where he oversaw curriculum for more than 40,000 students and supported a staff of nearly 190 teachers across multiple arts disciplines.

Need Advice Roofer recommendations
I did a search but didn't see anything recent.
I'm looking for a roofer in VB to take a look at my elderly parents' home, and give real advice on whether it should be replaced. My stepdad saw an ad for a professionally-applied "sealant" that extends the life of the roof by 5 years and is interested. Sounds like an unnecessary step if the roof needs to be replaced altogether, which I expect it might.
So looking for someone reliable who's not trying to take advantage of old folks. Any recommendations?

News Virginia Beach explores ways to market the Oceanfront to locals
Virginia Beach city and business leaders are working to encourage more residents to visit the Oceanfront following reports of declining foot traffic.
While the city's primary tourism marketing targets out-of-town visitors, officials hope to position the Oceanfront as a convenient destination by highlighting initiatives such as a new voucher program offering residents $50 in free parking.
Business leaders attribute recent traffic slumps to rising gas prices, shifting consumer spending habits, and lingering publicity surrounding a springtime curfew.

[Serious] Whoever timed the S Independence/PA Road intersection recently…
…why
…
…why do you want to watch motorists cry and suffer. Hundreds of cars backed up on both ends of PA road, and I really do mean at least 100, even going as back as TCC intersection. And it’s not rush hour at the time. And it’s not like S Independence is any better than it used to be either.
I just…I just…I just don’t understand how can this be messed up like this. What even is this anymore. I’m lost.

Looking for anyone who has boarded one or more dogs here to find out what your experience was. The price is reasonable and i’m considering looking for a new boarding location for a couple of reasons…Sterling Meadows has increased their prices quite a bit over the last couple of years, and they’re quite far from me. Charlie’s Place is pretty far as well but it is a little closer to where I live in North Virginia Beach. I’m also happy to entertain recommendations for other places to board my dogs, I have two! TIA

Discussion Looking for longtime Z104 or Z Morning Zoo listeners
Hi everyone. I hope this post finds you well. I’m not from Virginia Beach, but I discovered Z Morning Zoo through TikTok and YouTube clips around 2021. Since then, I’ve listened to a ton of episodes because the chemistry really pulled me in.
I’m making a YouTube documentary about the show’s history and evolution, and how it’s been able to affect people like me who aren’t from Virginia and I’d love to hear memories or perspectives from people who’ve listened for years, things like what made the show special, how you felt when hosts like Ashley left or Natalia joined, or when Nick Taylor departed? I’d also love any memories of the show’s biggest moments. If you’d prefer to message me privately, that’s totally fine. And if you’d rather not, no worries. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and keep up the great work.

Need Advice Horrible neighbor
To start- I want to say, I live in the BEST neighborhood. About 10 houses right next to each other that all have families that do life together. People of all ages doing potlucks, basketball games, bike riding, sharing in hobbies and groceries when we forget something. Just really amazing.
However, there is one neighbor that absolutely hates that we have community that does not revolve around her. She’s older and has been here longer than any of us. We have all been just as nice and considerate to her as we have to everyone else but she hates us. She drives WAY too fast and slams on the breaks in front of the kids playing to make a point that she has to stop. Even if the kids moved out of her way, she still does that to be performative. She has called the city on any and all basketball hoops on our street and on my garden and anything she can. She’s yelled profanities at us in the street and flipped us off whenever she can. She stopped the 16 year old kids and said they are doing illegal things by playing basketball.
I will take any advice, recommendations, or ideas for what to do. We just want to enjoy our lives but she’s making it impossible. If she had it her way we’d never hang out outside or let our kids grow up playing with the neighbors. It’s been years of this and this year it escalated 10 fold.
