Nashville Digs Out After Ice Storm, Metro Battles State Laws, SC Signs Midfielder, Mild Weekend Ahead
Published 2 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Friday, February 13th. We kick off with recovery from that brutal ice storm that hit us hard last week, knocking out power for days across neighborhoods like East Nashville and Green Hills. Crews from Owensboro Municipal Utilities joined our local teams to clear lines and restore service, and warmer temps today are helping everyone dig out downed limbs along streets like Murfreesboro Pike. Metro Water Services reports many of you are seeing spiked bills from the 3 percent rate hike plus dripping faucets or busted pipes, adding about two dollars a day per faucet. They are waiving late fees, offering leak adjustments, and prepping legislation for storm relief, so check your usage graphs online or call for an investigation if pressure is low.
At City Hall, Metro attorneys just argued before the Tennessee Supreme Court to defend our 40-member council size and airport authority against state laws targeting us, emphasizing home rule protections right across from the Capitol. The Planning Commission met yesterday too, hashing out growth plans that shape our daily commutes.
On a positive note, Nashville SC signed promising midfielder Charles-Emile Brunet from SMU to a multi-year deal, boosting our squad for the season ahead. Predators star Filip Forsberg saw limited ice time in Sweden's Olympic win over Italy due to roster rules, but we are rooting for more minutes against Finland.
Today's weather brings sunny skies and highs near 55 degrees after the chill, perfect for cleanup or a stroll downtown, though watch for icy patches near the Cumberland River. Outlook stays mild through the weekend.
New business buzz includes tree services like Full Circle booked solid for storm cleanup. Jobs are steady with about 12,000 openings in healthcare and logistics per recent listings. Real estate sees median home prices around 450,000 dollars, up slightly post-storm as demand holds.
Crime report from the past day: a motorcyclist sadly died in a collision on local roads, with the other driver suffering minor injuries and no impairment noted.
Quick school shoutout: local teams notched wins in recent hoops tourneys. Feel-good story: a small business owner near 12South got community help to rebound from storm damage, turning despair into a happy comeback.
Upcoming, catch music nights at The Bluebird Cafe this weekend and Farm Bureau legislative updates on key bills.
