UPDATE: Restaurant's to Unveil Transformation Friday

Good morning, Hampton and North Hampton. Here are five things you need to know for Thursday, May 2:

1. Today's Top Thing: Bella Rose, which was scheduled to reopen today after undergoing a "Restaurant: Impossible"-inspired makeover to its building and menu, won't open until Friday at 11 a.m. because owner Sean Correll said they "want to get it done right" and "need an extra day."

2. Today’s Winnacunnet High School Sports Matchups (information via Winnacunnet.org):

3. What Else Is Happening Today? The annual fun- and food-filled Toast to the Coast is tonight, while any and all proposals for the vacant storefront in the Seashell Complex must be presented to the state in person today.

4. This Day in History: Although accounts of an aquatic beast living in Scotland's Loch Ness date back 1,500 years, the modern legend of the Loch Ness Monster was born when a sighting makes local news on May 2, 1933.

The newspaper Inverness Courier related an account of a local couple who claimed to have seen "an enormous animal rolling and plunging on the surface." The story of the "monster" (a moniker chosen by the Courier editor) became a media phenomenon, with London newspapers sending correspondents to Scotland and a circus offering a 20,000 pound sterling reward for capture of the beast.

5. Today's Forecast:

Day
Mostly sunny, with a high near 63. Light and variable wind becoming east 5 to 10 mph in the afternoon.

Night
Partly cloudy, with a low around 43. Northeast wind around 10 mph.
