That has yet to take place. (more…)
A little after 9 a.m. Tuesday, Alexandra Serrano found yet another reason to jump for joy.
The home she was helping renovate on Keats Street would be getting a new washer and dryer.
Well, new-ish. The appliances recently had been donated to the Habitat for Humanity of South Hampton Roads. They were the latest on a very long list of materials — 510 items from ceiling fans to new hardwood floors to paint — used to completely redo the three bedroom ranch-style home. (more…)

No one could beat Kori Riddick in a festive game of musical squares, and because of that, the Nansemond River High School senior earned a $1,000 college scholarship.

Irvin Cantor and Jeffrey Breit grew up in different parts of Virginia (Cantor in Richmond, Breit in Virginia Beach), graduated from law school a year apart (Cantor in 1978 from the University of Virginia, Breit from Tulane in 1979), and later became great friends and two of the most heralded trial attorneys in their home state.

In Hampton Roads, Breit, Drescher and Imprevento is viewed as the “go-to” practice for complex personal injury cases. (more…)
