The Port of Virginia, with terminals at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay near Norfolk, is opening a gate Monday at 5 a.m. — an hour earlier than usual — to help accommodate more truckers. The Port of New York and New Jersey, which is expecting additional cargo including autos, is working to allow quick access for transport companies that usually go through Baltimore. A major railroad is expanding its services, too. Fallout from last week’s deadly bridge collapse, which indefinitely closed the nation’s 17th-largest port by total cargo tonnage and the busiest gateway for vehicles, is expected to be largely contained as neighboring facilities with spare capacity tweak their schedules. Snarls, delays and added costs are more likely to appear outside ports as tens of thousands of shipments require longer routes on already-crowded roadways and rail lines.

Outer Banks season 4 officially restarted filming on Monday, November 20, 2023, in a new location. Reports from Star News and local outlets in Wilmington, North Carolina, indicate that filming will take place on November 20 and 21. Outer Banks is among the first Netflix shows to resume production. Originally slated to be filmed in North Carolina, including Wilmington, production shifted to Charleston, South Carolina, in 2017 due to North Carolina’s HB-2. Netflix opted to relocate production to distance itself from the law. The return to North Carolina is notable, especially considering the plot of season 4. The conclusion of season 3 hinted at a new treasure hunt involving the Pogues pursuing Blackbeard's treasure. Blackbeard, also known as Edward Teach, historically sailed the region. Filming for Outer Banks season 4 commenced in June, and there were initial concerns that the season might not return until 2025. However, the recent resumption of production alleviates those worries. The decision to resume filming in North Carolina adds a layer of geographical relevance to the storyline, aligning with the historical context of Blackbeard's presence in the region. Outer Banks season 4's return to its roots in North Carolina promises to bring fans a continuation of the treasure hunt saga initiated in the previous season.

Tim Scott brought a touch of romance to Wednesday's Republican Presidential Primary Debate by introducing his girlfriend, Mindy Noce, to the public eye. The mystery surrounding Scott's love life has been a topic of campaign curiosity, given the 58-year-old South Carolina senator's lifelong bachelor status. In a post-debate statement, Scott's campaign confirmed that the woman joining him onstage was indeed Mindy Noce, a design and renovations manager based in Charleston, South Carolina.

Tim Scott was joined by a notable guest during the recent Republican presidential primary debate on Wednesday — his girlfriend. According to a campaign statement, the woman who appeared alongside Scott on stage after the debate and posed for a photo with him was confirmed to be «his girlfriend Mindy.» The woman in question was later revealed to be Mindy Noce, currently serving as a design and renovations manager in Charleston, South Carolina. Scott's personal life has attracted attention during the campaign, particularly since the 58-year-old South Carolina senator has never been married. In subsequent interviews following the debate, Scott shared that he and Noce have been in a relationship for approximately a year, and she had also attended his campaign launch event earlier in the year. Earlier this year, during a campaign stop in Iowa, Scott opened up about his girlfriend, offering insights into his upbringing and faith as he discussed his relationship.
