Virginia Beach Vibe District Ride + Drug Bust Story + Warm Sunny Week

Good evening, neighbors! In this week’s Tidewater Talk, Brodie and Co shake off nap brain and bike bloopers to bring you what’s happening across Coastal Virginia. We break down an eye‑opening local news story out of Portsmouth: the EPA’s upcoming public meeting on the Peck Iron & Metals Superfund site, including recent discoveries of military ordnance and radium‑painted objects, what “Superfund” means, and why this matters to nearby communities. Then we time‑travel to Matthews County for a “Strange Tidewater” stop at the museum’s Medicine on Wheels exhibit—where a horse‑and‑buggy country doctor once made house calls and sometimes got paid in eggs—plus a look at how the general store tied community life together.We round things out with a calm, sunny forecast (cool start, warming to the 80s—and yes, the pollen is relentless), and a stack of Tidewater tips: family‑friendly fun at Virginia Beach’s FFX Theater, Battleship Wisconsin’s 82nd birthday celebration at Nauticus, glassblowing and meditation at the Chrysler Museum, and the Norfolk Tides’ Bark in the Park dates. Question of the week: On the first real warm day, are you headed to the oceanfront, the bay, or the backyard? Tell us on Facebook or email tips@tidewatertalk.com.
