## Resource

Portsmouth’s 250th birthday bash is underway, but vendors are feeling the heat—low crowds mean slow sales, even for specially crafted nightlights. One nonprofit seller is offering discounts to move inventory, wondering if all the buzz is drifting toward Norfolk. Still, ferry rides are smooth and popular, with visitors like Lymaja Moses enjoying the calm crossing—even if they skip the ship tours. The festivities roll on through Sunday.
