Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Sunday, October 26th, and we hope you are having a great start to your weekend. We begin this morning with a developing story just outside Mt. Juliet. A serious multi-vehicle crash involving a hayride-style vehicle happened late last night on Central Pike near Beckwith Road. Multiple people were injured and emergency crews from both the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office and the Tennessee Highway Patrol responded. As of late last night, the roads had reopened but if you are heading east today, expect some delays and be sure to drive with extra care. In another traffic incident closer to the city, a crash yesterday afternoon on Old Hickory Boulevard took the life of a 67-year-old Nashville resident. The accident involved a Toyota Camry that reportedly crossed into oncoming traffic before rolling over. No impairment is suspected, but it is a somber reminder to stay alert, especially as traffic increases this weekend.Turning to city hall, Metro Council has just passed sweeping new zoning regulations aimed at protecting residential neighborhoods. These new rules require bars, tobacco shops, and check-cashing businesses to stay at least half a mile away from homes. Residents in areas like East Nashville and 12South have voiced their concerns for years and city leaders say these measures will help preserve neighborhood character. The law is in place now, so any new business looking to open nearby will face tougher hurdles.In real estate, with Nashville’s skyline continuing to grow, office vacancy rates are peaking around nineteen percent this year according to national real estate analysts. This means more options for businesses seeking office space and perhaps some deals for those willing to sign longer leases. For renters and buyers, competition remains tough, but some neighborhoods on the east side and North Nashville are showing slight dips in prices as inventory gradually increases.The job market is heating up with over thirty-eight thousand open positions across the city, from downtown to the suburbs. Healthcare and logistics roles continue to drive hiring, with jobs like loader and crew member now paying up to eighteen dollars an hour and benefits available. At Vanderbilt Medical Center, the average hourly wage sits just above twenty-four dollars. These opportunities add to the sense that Nashville remains a city of growth and optimism.Music City did not disappoint this weekend. Fans flocked to Broadway for a string of sold-out shows and smaller clubs like The Basement on 8th Avenue are celebrating new local artists breaking through. In sports, it is a busy day downtown as the Nashville Predators host the Dallas Stars at Bridgestone Arena tonight. The Preds are looking to extend a two-game win streak and the game starts at five. Nashville SC recently wrapped up their season in Miami and attention now shifts to Vanderbilt as College GameDay visited their campus for the big matchup with Missouri.On the education front, local schools are getting some well-deserved attention as a pair of high school robotics teams qualified for regionals this weekend. Kudos to those students and coaches. Weather today is looking clear with morning temperatures in the upper fifties and sunny skies expected through the afternoon, reaching the mid-seventies. It is perfect weather for a walk along the Cumberland or for checking out one of the city’s pumpkin patches. The week ahead calls for mild temperatures and more sunshine, so it is a great time to get outdoors.Before we go, we want to highlight a feel-good moment. Neighbors in the Wedgewood Houston area came together yesterday to clean up Dudley Park, collecting over fifty bags of litter and planting new trees. Events like this remind us of the strong community spirit that makes Nashville special.Thanks so much for joining us this morning, and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a beat here in Music City.
