Can someone make some gnarly t-shirts to mark this occasion?

Hey y'all! Big USA soccer fan and I'm thinking about going out tomorrow to watch our lads play the belgians. What spots around town will be poppin for the big game? I'd love to watch the match with a hyped up crowd.

Good evening,

On June 27, 2026, two Saturdays ago, police received a call around 2 PM which sent them to the 3500 block of Arcadia St. in Ingleside. There, they found a woman in a vehicle suffering from a serious gunshot wound. Emergency services pronounced her dead on the scene. Police identified her as Teona A. Purnell, 19 years old.

The blue dot for this incident is the eastern of the two southern-most dark blue dots. Does that make sense?

A few observations:

- Firstly, I must apologize for this entry being so late. I meant to give it another day to match it up with the time between the previous two murders and then forgot for a whole week. The murder this past weekend spurred me to catch up. The only silver lining is that I can say much more confidently that this was the last murder in June, to our knowledge.

- Ms. Purnell's death was the 17th this year and the fifth in June.

- The average age of those killed in June was 35.4 years old. The average age in 2026 has been 37.06 years old.

- Of the 17 people killed in Norfolk in 2026, Ms. Purnell was the fourth woman. The other 13 people have been identified by police and media as men. This is roughly equivalent to the ratio in most years.

- This project is meant to give us clearer data on serious crime in Norfolk; it is not meant to scare us all into leaving town or indulging in chaotic terror.

Be safe, make good decisions!

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a place to rent in the Suffolk, Chesapeake , Newport News or VB part of Virginia. I travel throughout Virginia for work and commute from North Carolina, so I’m open to different areas. My budget is around $1,000 a month or more just depends. I’m open to an apartment, townhome, house, in law suite, guest house, private room, or anything similar. I do have one dog, so it would need to be pet friendly. If anyone has something available or knows of anything, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!

Hi all, my roommate and I are looking for a 2br, 2b apartment in Norfolk or Va Beach! We’re looking to pay no more than $2,200/mo including utilities, any recommendations?? (pls no pest!!!!)

With this heat and dry weather the area is a tinderbox. Save them for New Year’s Eve

Mine was the pickleball place on Menchaca and the Brooklyn breakfast place that … opened at 9.

Hi! I’ll be relocating to Norfolk soon for school to get my second degree. I’ve found plenty of jobs and housing in Norfolk. What areas would you guys recommend to live? What are the safe areas, etc.?

Thanks so much!

What are the best chicken and waffles in the area? Including Virginia Beach, Norfolk, anywhere nearby

Thank you!

Well, 100⁰+ heat is probably a bad time for the ac in one's car to give up, but here I am. I had a freon charge last year, so I know that's not the problem... Since it's blowing hot air and not making the telltale noise it usually makes when the ac kicks on, I'm guessing it's either the ac compressor fuse, the compressor... or maybe a leak?

Anyway. In your opinion, where woukd be the most honest, and reasonably priced place around to get auto ac diagnostics and work done around here?

*JT retired from AccurateTune last year, and the main mechanic refused to work on my car because it's a 2000.

Looking for somewhere I can sit for an hour or so that is absolutely blasting the AC and I can get an iced coffee while working on my laptop for an hour or two.

I know our public libraries are serving as cooling centers this weekend, which is fantastic, but I would like to get coffee and most don’t allow food/drinks.

We’re looking to have a gathering at a local brewery, but the ones I know have crap for parking.
Any suggestions in Norfolk or Virginia Beach would be appreciated.
EDIT: we are expecting upwards of 100 people, maybe more. All of the breweries I know can handle this traffic, but this many cars? Trying to be considerate.

Exactly that. Any bars anyone knows will have the game on?
