Nashville Local Pulse: Crash, Council Delays, Jobs, Weather, and Community Updates for December 18
Published 4 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Thursday, December 18. We kick off with breaking news from our roads. A woman faces vehicular homicide by intoxication and child endangerment charges after a single-vehicle crash Tuesday afternoon at 13703 Old Hickory Boulevard. Metro Police say the incident happened around 3:30 p.m., and they are investigating carefully to support those affected. In other public safety updates from the past day, we have no major alerts, but stay vigilant around busy spots like Broadway.
Shifting to City Hall, Metro Council just delayed a 15 million dollar downtown safety grant amid debates over surveillance tech. This could impact safety plans near the Gulch and Printers Alley, so well keep our eyes on how it affects daily walks and commutes.
On the job front, the latest BLS report shows Middle Tennessee employment holding steady from last year, with nonfarm payrolls essentially unchanged in recent months. Healthcare keeps adding spots, while we see some shifts in manufacturing. Real estate buzzes too, as Coldwell Banker Southern Realty in Nashville snaps up a local sales division, signaling more options for buyers eyeing homes around East Nashville.
Weather wise, heavy rain and possible storms hit Middle Tennessee today, with gusty winds the main worry Thursday afternoon into evening. Expect up to one inch of rain, so plan indoor alternatives for outings near Centennial Park. It clears by Friday, dropping highs to the upper 30s and low 40s, perfect for bundling up.
Culturally, Downtown Franklins White Building glows with its famous NOEL sign, a holiday staple moved here from Nashville in the 80s. Williamson Source highlights it in todays photo of the day, reminding us of our shared traditions. Music pulses on, with Nashville Public Radios December 17 update noting ongoing local scenes.
New business activity includes that Coldwell Banker expansion, boosting realty near Green Hills. For community events, catch holiday lights at Cheekwood through the weekend and a council committee wrap-up echo from December 16.
Quick school nod: Local teams notched wins in recent hoops, keeping spirits high. And a feel-good story, Middle Tennessee missionaries just aided over 1,100 Ukrainian war orphans, showing our big hearts abroad.
