Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Friday, October thirty-first, twenty twenty-five. We’re waking to a crisp autumn sunrise here in Music City, and we’re ready to share what’s happening around Nashville today.Let’s start at city hall. Yesterday, Mayor Cooper led a news conference downtown where the city announced new steps to improve transit along Broadway and increase pedestrian safety near major venues. According to Metro Nashville officials, we’ll see more crossing guards and clearer signage going up near Bridgestone Arena and the stadium this week. The mayor’s team also confirmed a new partnership with local electric vehicle companies aiming to expand charging stations in East Nashville and Green Hills before the holidays. So, for commuters, we’ll want to keep an eye on those construction crews and redirected traffic patterns over the next few days.On the weather front, we’re seeing heavy clouds today as some morning fog hangs over I-40 and the Cumberland River, with a slim chance for showers around lunchtime. The high will stay near sixty-four. If you’re heading out for Halloween festivities or attending events, remember to grab a jacket—it’ll be cooler by sunset, down to the mid-fifties. The National Weather Service warns that the lingering haze could affect air quality today, so folks with respiratory concerns might want to limit outdoor activity this morning.Turning to business news, Nashville’s job market remains active, with the city reporting over two hundred new postings in logistics, healthcare, and hospitality this week. Fifth and Main welcomes two new restaurants—The Peach Pit opens tonight with a soul food menu, and the revamped Belle Tavern is back serving classic cocktails. Meanwhile, we’re also seeing closures; the long-running Books of Broadway announced yesterday that it will close by late November, citing rising downtown rents. It’s a reminder of the shifting landscape for small businesses in our city.In the real estate sector, demand is strong with about eight hundred homes on the market, median prices holding at around four hundred seventy thousand dollars. East Nashville and the Nations are hotspots for younger buyers, while Green Hills continues to draw families looking for larger lots.There’s a lot happening culturally: Christian music is enjoying a resurgence here, with several top recording studios hosting public showcases along Music Row tonight and tomorrow. Centennial Park prepares for the Saturday Harvest Festival with live bluegrass, food trucks, and local craft stalls. Plus, Vanderbilt University students collected nearly two thousand pounds of canned goods for Second Harvest Food Bank as part of their annual Halloween food drive—a big win for community spirit.Sports fans will want to mark their calendars: Nashville SC faces Atlanta at Nissan Stadium tonight, with traffic expected along Woodland Street and Korean Veterans Boulevard. On the school front, Hume-Fogg’s girls’ soccer team clinched their regional title last night, while Antioch High’s debate club took home top honors in their statewide competition.On the crime report, Metro Police investigated a robbery late last night at a convenience store near Dickerson Pike. Officers responded quickly, and no injuries were reported. One suspect is in custody; neighbors are advised that police presence will remain increased in the area as investigations continue.For a touch of heartwarming news, Williamson Health’s EMS team dressed up local orchard guardians in hand-crocheted outfits lovingly crafted to celebrate the fall harvest. Pumpkins, apples, and corn are looking especially festive, and we’re reminded of these small acts of care that bring neighbors together.That wraps up today’s Nashville Local Pulse.
