    "Tulsa Weekend Update: Weather, City News, Business, and Community Happenings"
    2025/10/18
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Saturday, October 18, 2025.

    We start today with a look at the weather. After that overnight rain, we’re waking up to cooler, mostly cloudy skies across Tulsa, with temperatures hanging near 62 degrees as we move into the morning. The clouds should linger, with a slight chance for more rain after lunch, so folks headed out might want to carry an umbrella just in case. Highs will reach about 70, and it’s expected to be breezy at times. Looking ahead, Sunday should be dry and a little warmer, so outdoor plans are a safer bet.

    Turning to city news, Tulsa councilors have been busy this week. Yesterday, City Hall confirmed the official vote to return a city park near West 61st and Riverside Drive to stewardship under the Muscogee Nation, a move expected to impact recreation opportunities and cultural programming in the area. Mayor Monroe Nichols is inviting all of us to Tuesday night’s Community Conversation at Tulsa Tech’s Lemley Campus on South Memorial Drive. This meeting focuses on children, youth, and family outcomes, and listeners can weigh in on topics like public safety, youth outreach, and homelessness. Local leaders from ImpactTulsa, CAP Tulsa, and The Opportunity Project will be on hand to hear our ideas and concerns.

    In business updates, Tulsa’s aerospace sector is having a moment, with several local manufacturers at Airpark East near Pine Street reporting a boom in hiring. About 100 new positions ranging from engineering tech to assembly have posted this week, many through local staffing agencies. There’s also been movement on the food scene: a new branch of Prairie Fire Coffee opened on Brookside, and True North Brewery is set to open downtown next Friday. On the flip side, longtime diner Rosie’s on Admiral Place closed its doors Friday after forty years, citing shifting neighborhood traffic and rising costs.

    Local real estate numbers show steady growth with around 450 active single-family listings and homes spending only around 20 days on market this month. Median price continues at about $240,000, reflecting high demand in neighborhoods like Maple Ridge and Cherry Street.

    For job seekers, Tulsa’s unemployment rate remains stable at about 3.5 percent. CareerTech programs, highlighted at this week’s State Superintendent board meeting, are promising more workforce training and better alignment with school and city initiatives, offering new paths for recent grads and those seeking career changes.

    Turning to schools, Tulsa Public Schools just celebrated a big achievement, with Edison Preparatory’s robotics team winning regional honors for their latest drone project. Meanwhile, Booker T. Washington football earned a close win against Union Friday night, 24-21, thanks to a late fourth-quarter touchdown.

    On the crime front, Tulsa Police yesterday arrested Wesley Leach near West 41st Street for threatening someone with a gun. Officers later found the weapon to be a BB gun painted black, but the situation drew a heavy response as Leach is a convicted felon. No injuries were reported, but police remind us to stay aware and always report suspicious activity.

    For a feel-good story, our neighbors came together this week for a “Fill the Shelves” food drive in the Kendall-Whittier district. More than 1,200 pounds of food were donated for local families in need, led by area schools and churches.

    If you're looking for activities this weekend, the ALS Association invites everyone to join the Walk to Defeat ALS this morning at Harvard Avenue Christian Church. Registration opens at 9, and walkers set out at 10. Over at Hurricane Soccer Stadium tonight, Tulsa’s Golden Hurricane men’s soccer team hosts Florida International for Hispanic Heritage Night. The game starts at 7, and tickets are available at the gate. The team is on a home win streak, and Coach McIntosh is rallying new recruits and returning stars as Tulsa fights for a championship season.

    That wraps up a busy weekend for our city.

    Thank you for tuning in. Remember to subscribe for daily local news and stories that matter. This has been Tulsa Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • Tulsa City Park Returned to Muscogee Nation, Aerospace Boom, and Neighborhood Food Drive

    Tulsa City Park Returned to Muscogee Nation, Aerospace Boom, and Neighborhood Food Drive
    2025/10/17
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Friday, October 17, 2025. We start today with an update from City Hall, where Tulsa councilors have officially voted to cede control of Stickball Park back to the Muscogee Nation. This move aims to preserve its cultural significance while saving city taxpayers money since the tribe will now cover future park expenses. The council’s decision wasn’t without some passionate discussion, especially from descendants of Muscogee Freedmen, who voiced concerns over ongoing citizenship issues. Councilor Hall-Harper acknowledged these challenges, adding a personal note as someone with indigenous heritage herself. Listeners can expect more on tribal and historical land issues at future council sessions.

    Turning to today’s weather, it’s a brisk fall morning with temperatures hovering in the mid-fifties across downtown and the Riverside area. Expect highs to reach the upper sixties by this afternoon. Rain isn’t in today’s forecast, but clouds will linger. If you’re headed to the Gathering Place for outdoor events, bring a sweater to stay comfortable.

    In real estate, Tulsa continues to feel the effects of high insurance premiums, with many residents surprised by increases in their home and car policies this month. One local agent on Peoria says rates have jumped about ten percent since summer for most houses under three hundred thousand dollars. A public hearing on insurance is set for next week at City Hall, giving us a chance to voice our concerns or questions.

    For those looking for a job or career change, Tulsa’s aerospace and medical sectors show promising growth this fall. Employers have posted over four hundred openings around Midtown, South Tulsa, and near the airport just this week. If you’re a teacher, there are changes at the top: Lindel Fields, our new State Superintendent, is building ties with Oklahoma’s CareerTech system and promising greater collaboration for hands-on technical education in our schools. This renewed focus could mean more training and job opportunities for students and adults alike.

    On the police blotter, Tulsa police responded to a late-night burglary at a convenience store on Admiral near Sheridan. A suspect is in custody and no injuries were reported. Police continue to urge businesses to increase lighting and security, especially as days get shorter this fall. No major incidents have been reported downtown in the last twenty-four hours, but we remind listeners to keep an eye out for increased patrols near Tulsa’s event venues this weekend.

    Our schools are making headlines: hundreds of preschoolers in Tulsa public schools are facing suspensions, many for serious behavioral issues. Educators and parents are coming together to address solutions, hoping to boost classroom supports and early intervention programs. Meanwhile, congratulations to Jefferson Elementary’s robotics team, which took second place in last night’s state qualifying meet.

    Community events are in full swing. Tomorrow, local music fans can catch live jazz at Guthrie Green starting at six. The Tulsa Library broke ground yesterday on a new Owasso branch that will include apartments above the library, a first for our city. For those passionate about civic engagement, a town hall on the ongoing federal shutdown is scheduled for Saturday at the Greenwood Cultural Center. And if you’re looking to make your voice heard, Tulsa joins cities nationwide for No Kings Day protests this weekend, with rallies set for downtown and multiple local parks.

    For sports, our University of Tulsa cross country teams are competing today. The women race at the Arturo Barrios Invitational in College Station, while the men head to Madison for the Nuttycombe Invitational, gearing up for the American Championships next month. Let’s wish the Golden Hurricane strong finishes and safe travels.

    Closing our morning with a feel-good story, neighbors in Maple Ridge recently organized a food drive that collected more than two thousand pounds of canned goods for area pantries. Their generosity goes a long way as colder months approach.

  • Tulsa Local Pulse: Curfew extended, Stickball Park transferred, and a new superintendent's reversal.

    Tulsa Local Pulse: Curfew extended, Stickball Park transferred, and a new superintendent's reversal.
    2025/10/16
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Thursday, October 16, 2025.

    We woke up today to a major development in the city’s ongoing commitment to safety. Last night, Tulsa City Council held a contentious vote over the downtown youth curfew. Originally enacted in June after a series of gun violence incidents involving teens, the curfew restricts kids under eighteen from being inside the Inner Dispersal Loop between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. on most weekend nights. Council members debated extending the curfew and tweaking its rules, with strong community opinions both for and against. Most folks expressed public support for keeping it, citing safer streets and fewer citations since it started. The vote is expected to pass, meaning the curfew could continue into next year and keep our downtown evenings calm.

    Downtown also saw a big move yesterday, as councilors unanimously voted to transfer control of Stickball Park to the Muscogee Nation. The park, tied deeply to tribal and Black history, drew passionate testimony from Freedmen descendants who urged the city not to finalize the transfer. They want overdue citizenship rights honored by the tribe. Despite the emotion, councilors seemed to agree the land’s return was too important to put off. The Muscogee Nation now takes over stewardship, and the city saves on maintenance costs, but the community conversation around rights and recognition continues.

    Turning to crime and public safety, we have closure in a disturbing case. Tulsa Police Special Victims Unit made an arrest last month after a woman was attacked at Hunter Park back in August. Investigators connected Brent Allen Reamy to the scene using electronic data and photographs, and the victim’s strong recollection clinched the identification. He remains in custody on a substantial bond, and families who use the park say they finally feel true peace of mind returning.

    And in the courthouse, the high-profile Chris Morland murder trial resumes this morning for closing arguments. The state and defense rested their cases yesterday after emotional testimony from a former inmate and the medical examiner. Cassidy Ritchie’s family hopes for justice, remembering her as a vibrant, beloved presence in Tulsa.

    In other headlines, Oklahoma’s new superintendent Lindel Fields announced yesterday that he’s canceling his predecessor’s mandate to place Bibles in public school classrooms. This reversal returns authority to local school districts and means no more state spending on religious materials. Teachers and parents across Tulsa welcome this move, seeing it as a win for local control.

    Our weather today stays mild, with high clouds building and a slim chance of showers late. But right now, the forecast calls for a perfect autumn Thursday, so outdoor events and park visits should be enjoyable.

    Tonight at 10:16 a.m., thousands across Tulsa will join the national Great ShakeOut earthquake drill. This event helps schools and businesses review their emergency plans, so don’t be surprised if you see folks practicing drop, cover, and hold on drills.

    On the real estate front, activity continues to be brisk in Midtown, with open houses popping up near Utica Square and Cherry Street. New listings are holding steady, around one hundred homes this week, and average prices are inching up. Job seekers can find more than two thousand postings right now, especially in logistics, healthcare, and the tech corridor out by Highway 169.

    For those with kids, Union and Jenks High Schools report big wins in last night’s soccer matches, with Union celebrating a narrow 2-1 victory at their home field. Local students continue to shine academically too, with Booker T. Washington recognized for its National Merit Scholar semifinalists.

    Looking ahead, the Gathering Place hosts a fall music series on Friday and Saturday evenings. There’s also a community art walk along Riverside tomorrow, and farmers markets are open Saturday morning at Cherry Street and Brookside.

    Let’s end with a quick feel-good story. Volunteers at Iron Gate downtown started a winter gear drive yesterday, collecting coats and boots for Tulsa families. The outpouring of donations shows how strong our community spirit is as we head into cooler months.

  • Tulsa Pride Celebration, Mayor's Vision, and Community Support - Tulsa Local Pulse Recap

    Tulsa Pride Celebration, Mayor's Vision, and Community Support - Tulsa Local Pulse Recap
    2025/10/12
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Sunday, October 12, 2025.

    We start today with a vibrant recap of our city’s heart. This weekend, the Tulsa Pride parade rolled through downtown with floats, live music, and a resource fair—Organizers stepped up security to make sure everyone felt safe and included. Families and friends gathered from Brookside to Archer Street, embracing the day’s theme of hope and unity. Private security teams and police patrols were highly visible, helping festival-goers relax and enjoy the celebration. Many voiced appreciation, saying the extra precautions allowed everyone to focus on joy, not worry.

    Looking to city hall, Mayor Monroe Nichols prepares for his first State of the City address since taking office. He’ll speak live from Chapman Music Hall at Tulsa Performing Arts Center on November twelfth. His vision covers reaching zero homelessness by 2030, adding six thousand units of affordable housing, and making Tulsa the safest big city in America. Local listeners who care about jobs, student achievement, and partnerships with tribal nations won’t want to miss what’s next.

    As for real estate, the story continues to be affordability. Median home prices around Tulsa are holding steady near two hundred sixty thousand dollars. Yet nearly half of households statewide—about seven hundred thousand—now struggle to afford basic needs. Property taxes have climbed to an average of around a thousand dollars per year for owner-occupied homes, fueling debates about reform. Local leaders are cautious about big changes, warning that deep cuts could hit schools and fire departments hard.

    The job market is feeling ripples from the ongoing government shutdown. Local employers, especially in heating, air, and plumbing, report sluggish business and rising anxiety, especially for folks waiting on federal contracts or financing. Owners like Cassie Pound at Quality Heat and Air say more people are postponing repairs, and loan approvals for customers are down. If the shutdown stretches on, we could see job losses and delays for materials across Tulsa.

    On the crime front, Tulsa Police are urging vigilance after spotting a murder suspect from Florida near Woodland Hills Mall last Friday. Jesus Jimenez is wanted for probation violation tied to murder, robbery, and battery. Authorities ask anyone with tips to call 911 or Crime Stoppers. Otherwise, our weekend has been quiet, with routine patrols keeping South Peoria and Admiral Place safe for evening walkers and late-night businesses.

    Let’s check the weather—We're waking up to partly cloudy skies, highs in the upper seventies, and a light south breeze sweeping across Riverside Drive. The chance for rain is low, but keep an eye out as cooler air rolls in tonight; Monday looks breezy and slightly cooler.

    In schools, Booker T. Washington High took the win in last night’s football game against Union; congratulations to all Hornets athletes. Tulsa Public Schools also received praise for improving attendance and launching new mental health supports for students this fall.

    For business buzz, a new brunch spot opened its doors on Cherry Street this weekend, and local favorite Ida Red will soon expand its hours for fall shoppers. We’re also hearing about a few temporary closings—especially construction near 71st and Memorial could impact shoppers through next week.

    Community events to keep on your radar: Indigenous Peoples Day celebrations are happening Monday at Guthrie Green and along the Blue Dome District, featuring tribal vendors, storytelling, and live performances. The Philbrook Museum launches their autumn art series this week, perfect for a family outing.

    And for a feel-good story to start your Sunday, volunteers at Tulsa Food Bank served more than five hundred families yesterday, handing out fresh produce and meal kits with smiles and a helping hand. In times of need, our community steps up—reminding us what makes Tulsa so strong.

    Thanks for tuning in, and remember to subscribe for the latest neighborhood updates. This has been Tulsa Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease dot ai.

  • Eastside Fall Festival, Sustainability Survey, and Community Growth - Tulsa Local Pulse October 11, 2025

    Eastside Fall Festival, Sustainability Survey, and Community Growth - Tulsa Local Pulse October 11, 2025
    2025/10/11
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for October 11, 2025.

    We're starting the day with a look at the weather. Expect partly cloudy skies with a gentle breeze, making it a great day to get out and enjoy some local events. The Eastside Fall Festival is happening today from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 1801 S. Garnett Road. This free event promises a fun-filled day with inflatables, food trucks, trunk-or-treat activities, and booths from local nonprofits and community resources. It's a great opportunity to connect with your neighbors and celebrate the season.

    In community news, residents have until today to share their thoughts on Tulsa's sustainability plans through the "Let's Talk Sustainability" survey. This initiative aims to gather public feedback to shape future policies and investments in clean energy, recycling, and green space development.

    On the job front, Tulsa remains a promising market with new businesses opening and existing ones expanding. The city continues to attract startups and entrepreneurs, contributing to a dynamic local economy. In real estate, the demand for housing remains steady, with prices holding firm around the $200,000 mark for single-family homes.

    In sports, we're looking forward to several upcoming high school football games this weekend. Last week, several local teams secured impressive wins, and we're excited to see how they perform this week.

    In local news, Christian Guerrero was arrested on October 10 for his role in a fatal crash that killed two men. The incident occurred early on October 5 when Guerrero's Jeep collided with a Dodge pickup at 21st Street and Memorial. He faces charges including second-degree murder and kidnapping. Guerrero allegedly forced his ex-girlfriend into the vehicle and drove recklessly, running a red light before the crash.

    For those interested in local culture, the Muscogee Nation recently broke ground on a new courthouse in Okmulgee, signaling a significant investment in tribal justice infrastructure. Additionally, a new traffic court opened in Jenks as part of the nation's district court.

    Lastly, we want to highlight a feel-good story. The Eastside Fall Festival is not just about fun but also about community growth and revitalization. It's a testament to the energy and commitment of local residents to build a stronger, more connected community.

  • "Tulsa's Big Developments, Crime Update, and Community Events - Tulsa Local Pulse for October 10th, 2025"

    "Tulsa's Big Developments, Crime Update, and Community Events - Tulsa Local Pulse for October 10th, 2025"
    2025/10/10
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Friday, October 10th, 2025.

    We begin today with a major announcement from city hall. Tulsa’s city council has just approved a new tax increment finance district to support The Riverline, a massive joint development with the Muscogee Creek Nation. This project near 81st Street and Lewis Avenue, across from the River Spirit Casino, will cover 37 acres and transform South Tulsa with $200 to $300 million of new retail, restaurants, housing, and entertainment. City leaders expect construction to begin by next summer, promising new jobs and big changes to the landscape.

    In the courts, the Oklahoma Supreme Court has struck down the creation of special business courts planned for Tulsa and Oklahoma City. The bill would have allowed the governor to appoint business court judges, but the court ruled that these positions must be filled by election under the state constitution. Business leaders will now have to wait for fresh legislation possibly next year.

    Speaking of business activity, the eastbound lanes of Interstate 44 near Memorial Drive have just reopened after a crash with injuries caused a shutdown during the morning commute. Drivers should see normal flow again but remain vigilant for lingering slowdowns in the area.

    Turning to real estate, rising development in South Tulsa is not the only big news. The Tulsa Housing Authority is advancing a $190 million redevelopment project in Comanche Park that will bring much-needed affordable housing and economic activity to North Tulsa.

    On the weather front, we can expect warm and breezy conditions today. Temperatures will top out around 86, with similar highs over the weekend. Keep an eye out for occasional gusty winds if you have outdoor plans.

    Now to safety and public affairs. Tulsa police are searching for a suspect after a tragic shooting in North Tulsa left an 18-year-old dead and a 14-year-old hospitalized. Authorities are urging anyone with information to contact police. In another case resolved this week, a Tulsa man has been sentenced to life in prison for the 2021 killing of his stepfather near 21st and Sheridan. Officers and community groups continue to work diligently to address violence and offer support to victims' families.

    Let’s shift our focus to education and sports. Tulsa Public Schools are celebrating improved student achievement this fall, which Superintendent Johnson attributes to growing collaboration across the district. On the volleyball court, The University of Tulsa’s women’s team is enjoying its best start since 2016. The Golden Hurricane will face UAB at the Reynolds Center tonight at six o’clock, with a big Pink Game for breast cancer awareness. Sunday’s match brings Memphis to town, promising another spirited crowd. Young fans can join Capes and Crowns Day and meet costumed characters between rallies.

    For our job outlook, South Tulsa’s new development is expected to open hundreds of jobs by next year. Meanwhile, city jobs boards list just under a thousand open positions across retail, healthcare, and construction this week, a sign of ongoing economic momentum.

    With the Board of Adjustment meeting canceled for October 14th due to a lack of quorum, residents interested in land use issues should check the city’s planning website for the next opportunity to weigh in.

    Looking forward at community events, Tulsa’s neighborhood associations are holding fall festivals all weekend, and the Gathering Place is hosting its autumn family picnic on Saturday afternoon. For a feel-good story to start your day, volunteers coordinated a food and clothing drive near Admiral and Harvard this week, helping over fifty local families with warm meals and essentials as we move closer to the holiday season.

  • "Tulsa Tunes In: Autumn Weather, Tasty Events, and Community Connections"

    "Tulsa Tunes In: Autumn Weather, Tasty Events, and Community Connections"
    2025/10/09
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Thursday, October 9, 2025.

    We wake up in Tulsa to some welcome autumn weather. Skies are mostly clear this morning, with a gentle breeze and temps in the upper fifties. We can expect the afternoon to stay mild and bright, topping out in the mid-seventies, perfect for enjoying some of the city’s outdoor events. Tonight will dip back into the fifties, so you might want a light jacket for any evening plans.

    Kicking off our day, the big story is the 10th Annual Taste of Brookside happening tonight. More than a dozen local restaurants are gathering along Peoria Avenue to offer tastings and raise money for Youth Services of Tulsa. One highlight is T-Town Tacos, a local youth job-training program that not only delivers delicious food but helps young people like Alana, who’s about to graduate and is aiming for college and a future as a doctor. Registration for the event starts at 530, and tastings run until nine, with local favorites like Biga, Cafe Ole, and Elmer’s BBQ joining the fun. This is one of those unique Tulsa events that brings us together for a good cause and some good eats, all along the Brookside stretch.

    On the city front, Mayor Bynum is inviting residents to take part in a community forum focused on essential city services. This is a chance to hear about and shape decisions affecting our daily lives, from public safety to downtown development. Participating in these conversations is more important than ever, and the mayor’s office is encouraging as many voices as possible.

    Turning to public safety, Tulsa Police responded late last Friday to an incident on South Yale near 3rd Street, where an SUV crash led to a short foot chase through nearby neighborhoods. Thanks to a TPD helicopter, officers quickly located and arrested the driver, who now faces DUI and hit-and-run charges. No serious injuries were reported, but police remind us to stay alert and report any suspicious driving in our neighborhoods.

    For job seekers, there is a major opening right now with AEP in Tulsa for a Vice President of Generation Transformation, a role focusing on energy innovation and strategy. The position starts at a salary of around two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars and reflects Tulsa’s growing status in the energy sector.

    In the housing market, we continue to see a steady stream of listings and new construction, especially in south Tulsa and Jenks. Real estate agents are noting strong demand for family-sized homes, with average home prices holding steady in the high two hundreds, making Tulsa an affordable choice for newcomers.

    For our local sports fans, tonight is a big one at Case Soccer Complex, where the ORU women’s soccer team looks to extend their five-game win streak as they welcome St. Thomas. The Golden Eagles are nine, three, and one on the season and have been on a roll since late September. Recent honors went to Hannah Voskuhl as the Summit League’s top defender, so look for a strong showing from her tonight.

    In schools, several Tulsa area high school teams picked up playoff wins across volleyball and football this week, keeping our student athletes in the spotlight and the community rooting for them.

    As we look ahead, Green Country is buzzing with Halloween spirit. From haunted hayrides at the Gathering Place to trick-or-treat trails across Riverside and Tulsa Botanic, there’s plenty for families to explore this weekend.

    And we’ll close with a feel-good story — a local group of volunteers worked together last weekend to clean up the Arkansas River trails, collecting over 90 bags of trash and making our favorite walking paths safer and cleaner for all.

    Thanks for tuning in this morning. Stay safe, enjoy the sunshine, and let us know what matters most to you in Tulsa. Remember to subscribe for your daily local news fix.

  • "Tulsa Local Pulse: New House Speaker, Mild Weather, and Community Impact"

    "Tulsa Local Pulse: New House Speaker, Mild Weather, and Community Impact"
    2025/10/05
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Sunday, October fifth, and we are glad you are with us.

    Let’s start with some breaking news out of Oklahoma City where big changes at the state capitol are set to ripple through daily life in Tulsa. Kyle Hilbert, who represents both rural Creek and parts of Tulsa County, has just been elected Speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives, making him the youngest to ever hold the role. Alongside him, Anthony Moore steps in as Speaker Pro Tempore. Both leaders promise more transparency and a strong focus on education, roads, and economic growth, so we’ll be watching closely as their new term gets underway and how it could impact city funding and school budgets close to home.

    Turning to the weather, we are starting the day with mild fall temperatures around the mid-sixties, warming into the upper seventies by afternoon. Skies are mostly sunny, and winds should stay light, making it perfect for any Sunday plans. Expect clear weather to continue into tomorrow, so it is an excellent day to get outdoors or explore local events.

    In crime news, Tulsa police responded overnight to a break-in near the intersection of Peoria and East 21st. Thankfully, no injuries were reported, and officers quickly apprehended one suspect following a short foot chase down the Midland Valley Trail. Authorities remind us to keep vehicles locked and to be aware, especially as holiday shopping increases in the coming weeks. Extra patrols are scheduled for the downtown and Utica Square areas after a string of minor thefts earlier in the week.

    On the jobs front, Tulsa’s unemployment rate holds steady at about four percent, with several new positions opening up at local healthcare providers and the continued expansion at the Port of Catoosa. The city’s workforce office on Archer has resources for job seekers, and employers say skilled trades and nursing are especially in demand this month.

    Our real estate market is staying hot, with about four hundred homes currently on the market. Median sale prices are hovering near two hundred twenty thousand dollars. First-time homebuyers may find slightly better deals in neighborhoods like Kendall-Whittier and Red Fork, where competition is a little less fierce.

    For those following Tulsa sports, it was a tough night for the Golden Hurricane football team, who fell to Memphis forty-five to seven. Our soccer fans have something to cheer for, though, as Tulsa’s women’s team recently set a program record for corner kicks and continues to build momentum after a strong preseason. Area high schoolers also brought home several wins this week, and Edison Prep celebrated a first-place finish in regional cross-country.

    On the cultural scene, all eyes are on the premiere of the newest episode of Tulsa King tonight. Also, the Blue Dome Arts Festival wraps up downtown this afternoon, and the Gathering Place is hosting a Sunday Jazz Picnic starting at noon. Several new coffee shops opened near Cherry Street, bringing fresh energy and jobs to the area.

    A feel-good story to wrap up: Over at Booker T. Washington, a group of students teamed up to collect and deliver over three thousand pounds of food to the Community Food Bank, making a real difference for families ahead of the colder season.
