Hampton Fireworks and Drone show

so due to the weather and the fact that it's storming an hour prior to the event time does anyone know if it's still going on or got cancelled?

The 4th

Who remembers back in the late 70s early 80s Huntington park in newport news having fire works and games for ribbons and stuff like that we would go there like all day and see the fire works at night ?

Fireworks

Hey guys- My mother is disabled, so it would be very difficult getting her down to Victory Landing for the July 4th event. Does anyone know another park or even parking lot we can see them? I haven’t lived in Newport News for over 10yrs, so my memory of where we could go is kinda hazy.
Thanks so much!

Safe Places to Practice Skateboarding?

I’m completely new to skateboarding and I am aware of the parks in the area, but I am looking for spots that I can go around and just practice very basic cruising so I can get the fundamentals down and where it won’t be frowned upon. Any recommendations are appreciated.

Pros/Cons to Kiln Creek Neighborhood?

Looking for a home there now. I know schools aren't the best and we will be having kids in the future. The other thing that's sorta keeping me away is the HOA fees and fear of those going up all the time.

That said, I heard it's a very safe area, convenient, and overall a nice community being near a golf course and all.

Any input/advice for anyone who's lived there? How was your experience?

Looking for a nice apartment complex in the area.

Hey, my husband landed a job at Newport News. Unfortunately, we won’t be in Virginia until we actually move there so we won’t be able to tour any complexes in person.

We are looking to spend around $1500 or a little more for a two bedroom. Looking for any suggestions or places to stay away from. If we are being too cheap for what we are asking please let me know!

Best apartment complex in Newport News?

My boyfriend (military) and I are in our early 20’s and planning on moving in together soon, but so far the ones I’ve seen seem to have below 2 star ratings :/

Our top musts are that it’s in a safe area, below $1,100 rent per month, and preferably in the Hampton area.

Please help!

Bike/scooter/skateboard trails

Hi I live in Yorktown and I’m looking for places I can ride my skateboard for a cruise. I got kicked off of VA beach over the weekend by some bike cop. Any ocean front places I can skate? Any non ocean front recommendations? Any recommendations so I don’t have to cross the bridge? I skate everyday so I prefer not having to cross the bridge! Thanks
