Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Saturday, November first.We wake up today to chilly temps across Davidson County, with the sun peeking through as fall settles in. Expect crisp weather most of the day, highs near sixty, and a breeze stirring up those colorful leaves. It is a great day to get outside, just grab a jacket. There is a slight chance for overnight showers, but skies stay mostly dry and clear during daylight hours, so all those outdoor events and errands should be good to go.Our big story this morning is uncertainty around SNAP benefits, as nearly seven hundred thousand Tennesseans await the monthly food assistance that is now caught in federal gridlock. Mayor Freddie O’Connell, speaking from Second Harvest Food Bank, says city resources are available and Nashville is ready to help, but updates on whether the federal funds will reach families this week are still unclear. State officials are urging those who are food insecure to check FeedTN online for emergency help while the situation unfolds.Turning to the job market, major news this week as Japanese IT firm NTT Data announced it will lay off over one hundred Nashville workers by the end of December, about a third of its local staff. This follows several other big layoffs across town this year, but it is not all bad news—there are still nearly fifty thousand jobs posted for the Nashville area, with openings in everything from warehouse work in Lebanon to hospitality at Loews Vanderbilt Hotel and night shift production over at Nissan in Smyrna. The average annual salary in Nashville now sits around sixty-six thousand, just above the statewide mean, which is good news for those looking for stability.In the real estate world, the market remains active but competitive, as new listings continue to pop up around East Nashville, Germantown, and Green Hills. Open house activity is up this weekend, so whether you are looking to buy or just want to browse, it is a prime time to see what is available.City Hall has been busy, with council talk focused this week on arts, parks, and local library projects, including expanded programming heading into winter. Mayor O’Connell will host a town hall next Thursday, and the council plans to debate new proposals for improving community safety and transit in November. Meanwhile, our congratulations to students at Hume-Fogg and Hillsboro High, whose debate and girls’ volleyball teams picked up big regional wins this week—way to represent Nashville!Concert buzz is building as November brings musical stars like Paul McCartney, Maroon 5, Sabrina Carpenter, and Bryan Adams to the Bridgestone and Ryman stages. Mark your calendars for the CMA Awards on November nineteenth. Country music history was made on this day too, with Charley Pride’s special Grammy recognition and the 2021 Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame inductions still resonating across Music Row.We want to let listeners know about some fun events this weekend. The post-race glow from last Saturday’s Nashville Half Marathon is still in the air, with runners and walkers filling our streets from First Horizon Park through downtown. If you are looking for something to do, check out the art crawl tonight or grab tickets to an improv show at Third Coast Comedy Club.On a more serious note, public safety is top of mind. Nashville Metro Police are investigating a tragic shooting that took place yesterday at a Germantown coffee shop, leaving one person dead and four injured. Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward; extra patrols remain visible across the community as a precaution.For a more uplifting story, our community’s generosity shines despite hardship. Local food banks are reporting record volunteer sign-ups this week, as neighbors step up to ensure no one goes hungry. It is a true testament to Nashville’s spirit—we come together when it matters.Thank you for tuning in to Nashville Local Pulse.
