サマリー
あらすじ・解説
Good morning, this is Lexington Local Pulse for Saturday, April 12, 2025.
We start today with breaking news: the University of Kentucky’s Greek Sing takes center stage tonight at Rupp Arena. This annual event, hosted by Chi Omega and Beta Theta Pi, showcases choreographed performances by Greek life organizations and raises funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Over the past five years, it has raised nearly $1 million for critically ill children. Tickets are still available if you’re looking for a night of fun and philanthropy.
Turning to the job market, Lexington continues to shine with a post-pandemic employment growth of 5.5%, the highest in the Cleveland Fed’s Fourth District. Despite a national slowdown, Lexington outpaces many metro areas. For job seekers, the Lexington Career Fair is happening Tuesday, April 29, at 9:30 a.m. downtown. With positions in healthcare, tech, and education, it’s an excellent opportunity for networking. Don’t forget to bring an updated resume.
In real estate, home prices remain stable, with the average listing sitting around $320,000. However, inventory remains tight, so sellers may still have the upper hand this spring. Prospective buyers should act quickly, especially for homes near downtown or in popular neighborhoods like Chevy Chase.
City Hall updates include strides in flood preparedness after recent rains caused minor localized flooding earlier this week. Officials announce plans to improve stormwater infrastructure along North Limestone. Meanwhile, the Lexington Police Department is mourning the unexpected loss of Officer Richie Wells, who passed in a tragic accident in Georgia. Our hearts go out to his family and colleagues.
On a brighter note, today’s weather is perfect for outdoor plans. After a chilly start in the upper 40s, sunshine will take over by midday, with highs reaching the low 60s. Sunday looks even better, hitting the upper 60s under clear skies. If you’re looking for weekend fun, Keeneland hosts the Stonestreet Lexington Stakes at 5:16 p.m., a thrilling race with a $400,000 purse. Gosger, a rising star, is one to watch.
Local schools continue to impress, with Henry Clay High School’s robotics team winning a state competition last night. They’ll now compete nationally in Atlanta next month. Meanwhile, in sports, the Transylvania University women’s basketball team celebrates an undefeated season after clinching their championship last weekend.
Finally, here’s a feel-good story to wrap up: a Lexington boy, 10-year-old Ethan, raised $2,000 for the humane society by selling lemonade on Euclid Avenue. His outstanding efforts show how even the smallest acts can make a big difference.
This has been Lexington Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
