Good morning, Hampton.

Amy's Banh Mi, a family-run restaurant known for making its own crusty bread, is attracting local attention with its Vietnamese banh mi sandwiches available in beef, pork, or chicken.

The takeout shop operates Tuesday through Sunday on North Armistead Avenue and also serves Vietnamese coffee (prepared with sweetened condensed milk).

The city will dedicate a new historical marker to honor the Battle of Hampton Roads at a waterfront location on Chesapeake Avenue near East Avenue at 1 p.m. Monday, March 9 (road closures are in effect from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.) for the ceremony.

Virginia Natural Gas received state approval to build a $90 million compressor station along South Military Highway and Bainbridge Boulevard in Chesapeake—its electric motors are expected to raise gas bills by about $2 monthly—while local communities expressed environmental justice concerns.

A bill awaiting Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s signature would stop insurers from directing biopsy samples away from local labs — ensuring faster results for patients.

Unanimously approved by the General Assembly, the measure aims to improve diagnosis timelines in eastern Virginia.
