Episode Details

Good morning, this is Omaha Local Pulse for Sunday, January 25. We kick off with sports triumphs from last night that have our listeners buzzing. Our Omaha Mavericks mens basketball team dominated Kansas City 77 to 60 on the road, with Paul Djobet exploding for 23 points and 11 rebounds in his second career double-double, as four players hit double figures for their second straight win. Over in hockey, the Mavericks fell in a tight battle to the visiting team, with Brett Hyland scoring first but a late game-winner sealing it for the opponents at the Baxter Arena. Shifting to community wins, Mary Our Queen parish just landed a matching grant up to 200,000 dollars from the Lavigne Foundation and Archdiocese of Omaha to boost local programs near 36th and Burt Streets. City Hall updates mean smoother drives ahead, as public notices in the Omaha World-Herald detail new Douglas County road projects impacting daily commutes around 72nd and Dodge. Job market stays strong with about 5,000 openings listed downtown, especially in tech and healthcare near the Old Market. Real estate heats up too, median home prices hovering around 300,000 dollars, with quick sales in West Omaha neighborhoods like Elkhorn. New business buzz includes a fresh coffee spot opening tomorrow at 50th and Leavenworth, while a longtime diner on Cass Street announces major renovations. Weather today brings light snow flurries impacting morning drives on I-80, but we expect clearing skies by noon with highs near 28 degrees, perfect for bundling up at upcoming events like the free community skate at Heartland of America Park this Tuesday. Local schools shine with Creighton Prep boys winning their debate tournament, and no major crime in the past day, though police remind us to stay vigilant after a minor theft alert near Midtowns Turner Park. For a feel-good lift, neighbors rallied to restore a playground at Strehlow Park, bringing families together in the cold. Tune in for more community events like the Old Market art walk Wednesday.
