Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Saturday, November 23, 2024. We're starting off the weekend with a mix of community events, updates from city hall, and a look at the local job market.
First off, let's talk about some breaking news. The Route 66 Marathon kicks off today with multiple races and road closures across downtown and midtown Tulsa, including the University of Tulsa area. Runners will participate in a 5K route and a one-mile Fun Run, so be prepared for detours if you're planning to be out and about[5].
In other news, the Jenks Christmas Parade is happening today in downtown Jenks. Road closures begin at 9:30 AM, so plan your route accordingly if you're heading out to enjoy the festivities[4].
Moving on to our job market snapshot, we don't have any major hiring announcements or new job postings from top local employers to report today. However, it's worth noting that the current unemployment rate remains steady, with no recent updates.
In real estate news, we're seeing a steady market with no notable commercial or residential property sales to report. New development projects and construction updates are ongoing, but nothing significant to highlight today. Weekly median home prices and inventory levels are also stable, with no significant changes to report.
From city hall, we have updates on decisions that affect daily life. The Oklahoma Department of Transportation is addressing a busy intersection that has been a concern for residents, who are relieved to see action being taken to improve safety[1].
Weather-wise, today is looking to be a pleasant day for outdoor activities, with clear skies and mild temperatures. However, always check the latest forecast before heading out.
In new business activity, we don't have any major openings or closings to report today. However, it's worth noting that local businesses are gearing up for the holiday season, with many offering special deals and promotions.
Looking ahead to community events, the Sapulpa police are keeping families safe at the Route 66 Christmas Chute, ensuring a fun and secure experience for all attendees[1]. Additionally, Northeastern State University is set to start teaching a Taylor Swift course, which is generating a lot of interest among students[1].
In local school achievements, we have advocates taking initiative in improving Oklahoma's academic outcomes, which is a positive step forward for our education system[1].
For a feel-good community story, we have the heartwarming tale of the newborns of two Coweta firefighters recovering from surgery. It's been a tough time for the families, but the community is rallying around them with support[1].
Finally, in today's crime report, Tulsa police are investigating photos from a staff party at the Family & Children's Services of the Francis Tuttle Job Corps, which has raised concerns[1]. Additionally, there's been a recent credit card scam resulting in $3.8 million in losses in October alone, according to the Department of Human Services[1].
This has been Tulsa Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
