Show Notes

In this week’s Tidewater Talk, Brodie and Co cozy up for a chilly Coastal Virginia evening and dive into two heartwarming community stories and a brand-new segment. We spotlight Nansemond-Suffolk Academy students who teamed up with FACT (Families of Autism Coming Together) to design and build a sensory-friendly, accessible floating fishing dock on school property—complete with community-donated life vests, poles, and a newly stocked pond. We also debut “Strange and Odd of Tidewater,” exploring a small green triangle in Ghent that hides a somber history: a mass grave from Norfolk’s 1855 yellow fever epidemic, now marked thanks to a local Girl Scout troop’s persistence.

Plus, we run through the local weather outlook (freezing nights, sun returning, and weekend warming), share listener prompts, and pass along a couple of Tidewater tips: the Virginia Aquarium’s “Survival of the Slowest” exhibit featuring sloths and other uniquely adapted creatures, and the Grand Holiday Bazaar at the Hampton Roads Convention Center with free bounce houses and photos with Santa. Send us your odd local finds or community highlights to [email protected], and we’ll share them on the show.
