Good morning, this is Charlotte Local Pulse for Saturday, August 23, 2025. We wake up under sunny skies and mild temperatures on this summer Saturday. The National Weather Service tells us we can expect a high near 87, with a light breeze and barely a cloud—perfect for any weekend plans. Looking ahead, Sunday stays warm, with just a slight chance of a late afternoon thunderstorm.We start this morning with breaking news from South End, where Charlotte paramedics responded late last night to a stabbing near the Lynx Blue Line station at East Boulevard and Camden. One person was pronounced dead at the scene, another was taken to the hospital in critical condition, and a third suffered minor injuries. Police have not yet named any suspects or released additional details, but extra patrols are visible along the Blue Line this morning, so let’s remain vigilant as we get around.At City Hall, council members voted Friday to approve new noise ordinances in Plaza Midwood and NoDa, aiming to balance the booming nightlife with resident concerns. The updated rules mean bars must now wrap up outdoor music an hour earlier. City council also greenlit a pilot for expanded greenways in the University City area, giving commuters and families more options for safe walking and biking away from traffic.Turning to the economy, the Charlotte job market is bouncing back, with about 750 new positions listed just this past week. Tech firms clustering near South Tryon are leading the pack, and Atrium Health is hiring across multiple hospitals if you are looking for clinical roles. Over in real estate, median home prices held steady this week at around four hundred fifty thousand, but we are seeing a pickup in condo sales Uptown, especially along North Davidson.The city is buzzing with new business activity, too. This weekend Crosstown Coffee opens a new location on Providence Road, focusing on locally roasted beans. Meanwhile, SouthPark waves goodbye to a longtime staple—Sunrise Deli is closing its doors after thirty years, with loyal customers lined up for one last sandwich yesterday.There is no shortage of things to do. Charlotte’s annual Open Streets festival winds through Dilworth and South End today, so expect partial road closures and lots of cyclists and live performances. At Romare Bearden Park tonight, we can enjoy a free jazz concert under the stars, and tomorrow kicks off the Taste of the Carolinas food festival at Truist Field. Kids and families, mark your calendars for the Back to School Bash at Freedom Park this Sunday, where local nonprofits are handing out free backpacks and supplies while supplies last.In sports, the Charlotte FC scored a decisive win last night at Bank of America Stadium, keeping playoff hopes alive. Local high school football also kicked off with Myers Park notching its season opener victory over West Charlotte thanks to a late-game touchdown.We want to highlight a little feel-good news: students at UNCC just finished a weeklong Community Clean-Up that collected more than five hundred pounds of litter from Little Sugar Creek, turning environmental concern into neighborhood pride.That wraps up our Local Pulse for today. Remember to stay aware around transit stops and call authorities if you see anything suspicious. Thanks for tuning in and be sure to subscribe for updates and tomorrow’s Charlotte Local Pulse.
