Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Thursday, March 19. We kick off with some thrilling sports news as our Nashville SC made history last night in Fort Lauderdale, tying Inter Miami one to one on the road to advance to the Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinals. Despite Lionel Messi scoring his nine hundredth career goal early, Cristian Espinoza's seventy-fourth minute strike sealed the win via away goals, with goalkeeper Brian Schwake making five key saves. The Boys in Gold return to GEODIS Park Saturday at five p.m. to face Orlando City, so grab those tickets if you can.

Over in college hoops, Vanderbilt freshman standout Leverett is praising his coaches and teammates after a breakout season, giving us plenty of optimism heading into spring. On the weather front, we are seeing partly cloudy skies this morning after that massive fire at the East Nashville recycling plant yesterday sent smoke billowing over I-forty near Shelby Avenue. Crews have it under control now, but NES has doubled lineworkers on standby for storms brewing this weekend, following our January ice cleanup. Expect mild temps in the low sixties today with a chance of scattered showers by afternoon, so plan outdoor errands early. NDOT just wrapped the first round of brush pickup, hauling over one point one million cubic yards since early February to prep for the rough stuff ahead.

City Hall updates include nonprofits like Elevate North Nashville and Nashville Diaper Connection expanding free diaper support to local daycares, directly easing burdens for families around Bordeaux and North Nashville. New business buzz has Nashville Waste Services finishing a major tech overhaul for one hundred forty-four thousand households, boosting pickup reliability citywide.

Crime reports from the past day are sobering. Metro Police seek two suspects in an East Nashville carjacking near Shady Hills mobile home community, where a twenty-two-year-old man was shot twice; stay vigilant around there. An eighteen-year-old faces charges after police found a loaded gun hidden on him while driving with a two-month-old baby near Murfreesboro Pike.

For feel-good vibes, local daycares are thrilled with the diaper drive, helping parents focus on what matters. Upcoming, catch NOAH pro-democracy award nominations through First Unitarian Universalist Church this week, and Americas two hundred fiftieth anniversary events ramp up downtown soon.
