RICHMOND, Va (WTVR) -  Governor McDonnell has worked to grow Virginia’s wine industry while in office, and today he’s slated to sign into law a bill that will help  the Commonwealth’s micro-breweries.

Senate Bill 604 gives breweries permission to serve their beer at the same facilities where its made. Right now, the breweries have had to include a full service restaurant  in order to do that.

Without a full-service restaurant they can only sell to go orders, and offer samples.

Several local breweries lobbied for the change including both Legend Brewing and Hardywood Park Craft Brew both of which are Richmond-based.

Watching calories is getting easier when it comes to Slurpees.

7-Eleven is introducing the Slurpee Lite.

A spokesman says the drink will have half of the calories of a regular Slurpee.

The first low-cal flavor to go national – Fanta sugar-free mango.

Eight ounces equals 20 calories.

According to USA Today, 7-Eleven will hand out free samples on Slurp-free Day on May 23.

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT)’s Highway Advisory Radio (HAR) station in Hampton Roads has moved to a new station. Traffic information is now airing on 1680AM. 

Previously located at 610AM, the Highway Advisory Radio station advises the public of current traffic conditions on Hampton Roads highways, 24-hours a day, seven days a week. The transition to 1680AM began early last week and was completed by Friday, May 4, on the Southside and the Peninsula.

“VDOT is always looking for ways to improve upon the traffic and travel information system. The change to a higher frequency could potentially improve the sound quality of the broadcasts,” said Dwayne Cook, VDOT Regional Operations Director, Eastern Region.
