1 month ago | coastalvirginiamag.com | Eric Wallace

As spring kicks in and turns up the heat, it’s time to break out your camping gear and plan a trip in the great outdoors.

But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
Magic in the Trees at Owl Creek

By Leona BakerBahman Azarm’s sense of childlike wonder is infectious. Peering down from the top level of the new Owl Creek Landing Nautilus Tower as workers are rappelling off trees around which they are still busy constructing the wooden canopy walk that will surround the Tower, the founder and CEO of Outdoor Ventures Group is like a kid on a playground. A pretty magical playground at that.
Welcome Back to the Dome

By Leona BakerThe buzzing, banging and beeping of construction equipment inside and outside The Dome this spring may have been loud, but it was music to the ears of those who have waited decades for it to become a reality. Those sounds will soon be replaced by rock vocals, guitar riffs, drum solos and a little bit of “Joy to the World” for good measure.

25 Reasons to Love Summer in Coastal Virginia | Coastal Virginia Magazine

2 months ago | coastalvirginiamag.com | Leona Baker

By Leona BakerThe SunCome August, we might feel differently. Until then, bring on the SPF. Those UV-inspired endorphins are a real thing, and until at least the Summer Solstice on June 20, we’re here to bask like a box turtle on a log. The real beauty of those longer summer days lies in the added hours of light after work in the evenings. Meet a friend for happy hour at your favorite outdoor dining spot, go for run on a local trail or get in some gardening while the getting is good.
Playing to Learn

By Leona BakerJust about anyone who has ever picked up a bat at Little League or ran track in high school understands the power of play. Participating in sports is a physical and social rite of passage for many, but it also teaches teamwork, self-discipline and resilience among many other critical life skills. Opportunities for kids to be involved in sports from a young age have also expanded tremendously in recent years thanks to the popularity of club sports.
These Burgers & Dogs Are Boss

2 months ago | coastalvirginiamag.com | Leona Baker

Here’s a hot-off-grill take. Burgers and dogs are having a moment. But our collective cravings for these meaty American icons have diversified far beyond fast food or even gourmet twists on cookout classics. A harkening back to simpler times—not to mention more wholesome ingredients and saner portions—seems to be at the heart of this trend.
Mike Arlo: Man Behind the Mic

2 months ago | coastalvirginiamag.com | Barrett Baker

By Barrett BakerIf you’re a fan of music and you have an opportunity to sit down with Mike Arlo for a few minutes to chat, take it. He is a walking encyclopedia of knowledge, especially when it comes to little known facts about classic rock bands and musicians. In other words, don’t play Trivial Pursuit against him when the subject is about music (he’s also a big Tchaikovsky fan, so even classical composers aren’t out of the question).
