Description
This week on Tidewater Talk, we’re all over Coastal Virginia, from ghost stories to real-life headlines and a big shift in the weather.
We start with a major update out of Virginia Beach, where a new emergency curfew has been put in place at the Oceanfront following recent incidents. What it means, where it applies, and how it could affect families heading into spring.
Then we head across the Peninsula for a truly eerie Strange and Odd, the story of the Williamsburg Public Hospital, America’s first mental hospital, where harsh treatments, a tragic doctor, and decades of history may have left something behind that never quite moved on.
We also talk storm hype versus reality, how this past system actually played out across Tidewater, and whether the reaction matched the impact.
And for the weather, we’re looking at a classic Tidewater shift, starting cool and gray, then warming all the way up near 70 by the weekend. Not quite beach weather, but close enough to make you think about it.
Plus, local tips including Ainsley’s Angels Heart & Soul 5K, the Shamrock Marathon weekend, and a hidden gem at the Little Theatre of Virginia Beach.
If you’re in Hampton Roads, this is your weekly reset, local stories, local weather, and a little bit of the strange side of Tidewater.
Stay safe, stay curious, and we’ll see you out there.
