Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Friday, November 14th, 2025.We start today with breaking news that will affect just about everyone on the road this morning. Interstate 24 West is shut down near Thompson Lane and the Briley Parkway exit following a deadly crash involving a dump truck. Police have closed the entire stretch of roadway and say it is unclear when the interstate will reopen. If you commute that way, expect major delays and take alternate routes through Nolensville Pike or Murfreesboro Pike.Turning to public safety, Metro Police have arrested a 16-year-old accused in a string of seven armed robberies at businesses across South Nashville including a cell phone store on Murfreesboro Pike, Subway on Bell Road, and a Family Dollar. The suspect faces multiple aggravated robbery charges in juvenile court. Separately, a delivery driver was charged with attempted criminal homicide after police say she fired two gunshots at another driver near Harding Place and Humber Drive during an argument, then continued her deliveries. Officers tracked her to South Perimeter Park Drive where she was arrested, and thankfully no one was seriously hurt. Metro Police are asking anyone who witnessed either incident to come forward as investigations continue.On a brighter note, Nashville continues to attract new residents. According to the latest multifamily investment report cited by Arbor Realty Trust, our city now ranks first in the nation for multifamily property investment thanks to strong population growth, steady jobs, and tax advantages. The local unemployment rate is holding steady right near three percent, and it is estimated that we have seen a population boost of more than twenty percent over the last decade. New residential and mixed-use developments are springing up around The Nations and East Nashville as the city keeps up with demand, so if you are house-hunting, expect competitive prices and more rental options opening soon.In City Hall news, Metro Council is focusing this week on measures to update our waste services and strengthen public health programs, with hearings scheduled through next week. City leaders say their priorities right now are improved street cleanliness, more accessible medical clinics, and expanding drop-off recycling locations around the Bordeaux and Donelson areas.Looking ahead, the Nashville Predators are on the world stage. They are opening their games in Sweden today against the Pittsburgh Penguins as part of the NHL Global Series. We wish them luck as they show international fans what Smashville spirit is all about.In high school sports, congrats to the Hillsboro Burros volleyball team taking home their first state title in more than a decade. That kind of dedication truly inspires us.For music lovers, November fourteenth has always been special in Nashville. It is the anniversary of some famous CMA Awards ceremonies and a big Garth Brooks concert at Nissan Stadium. Tonight, local venues along Lower Broadway are buzzing with up-and-comers and a few surprise country legends rumored to drop in. If you are downtown, keep your ears open for something memorable.Expect a cool, cloudy day with highs around 51 degrees and some showers possible by late afternoon. Bring a jacket if you are headed to campus events at Vanderbilt or hiking at Percy Warner Park. The weekend forecast is shaping up milder, so outdoor plans should still be a go.And before we wrap up, we want to share a feel-good story.
