Published 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Sunday, April 19. We start with exciting news on the Route 66 centennial, as Tulsa World reports our local attractions along the Mother Road are gearing up for a flood of visitors expected to pump millions into our economy this year. Think boosted business at spots like the Blue Dome District and Cyrus Avery Route 66 Memorial Bridge, perfect for us road trippers.

Weather wise, we have clear skies today with highs around 76 degrees and lows near 47, according to KJRH forecasts. No fire threats thanks to recent rains, per the National Weather Service, so outdoor plans at Gathering Place or River Parks go off without a hitch. Expect sunny conditions holding through tomorrow.

Over at City Hall, no big decisions today, but keep eyes on infrastructure talks that could ease commutes on Riverside Drive. In new business buzz, Expo Square wraps the Tulsa Card Show right now at the Pavilion, drawing collectors from 10 AM to 4 PM. Mercury Lounge hosts Bluegrass Brunch with Johnny Mullenax at noon, and Guthrie Green features an evening concert with Count Tutu tonight.

Sports fans, local schools shine with high school baseball wins yesterday at LaFortune Park. Job market stays strong with about 5,000 openings in energy and tech sectors downtown. Real estate sees median home prices around 280,000 dollars, up slightly near Cherry Street.

On a somber note, we mark 31 years since the Oklahoma City bombing with Tulsa World covering remembrance ceremonies that remind us of resilience close to home. Crime report from the past day stays low key, Tulsa Police note one arrest for theft near 71st and Memorial, with no major public safety alerts.
