Listen "Nashville Pride, Film Boom, and a Giving Spirit: Your Sunday Local Pulse"
Episode Synopsis
Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Sunday, September 28, 2025.We begin with a sense of pride running through the city as Nashville SC clinched a playoff spot in Major League Soccer for the fifth time in six seasons. After a decisive three to one win over Houston Dynamo at GEODIS Park last night, the Boys in Gold are charging into the postseason with their best-ever regular season win total. Sam Surridge set a new club record with his twenty-seventh goal of the season, while Hany Mukhtar and Andy Najar added to the action. All eyes turn to Wednesday when SC takes the field in its first ever U.S. Open Cup Final at Austin FC—an opportunity to bring home the first major pro sports championship in Tennessee’s history.Shifting to breaking developments in the local entertainment world, excitement is still buzzing from last week’s Nashville Film Festival, where Oscar-winner Nicole Kidman announced she will bring more production work to our city. She revealed that the hit series Scarpetta will begin filming its second season right here in Music City. Industry insiders are already sensing a local boom, with more jobs opening up on set, and local crews and businesses seeing new opportunities. City officials are moving fast to handle increased permitting and logistics as film and TV production ramps up.Over at Nashville Yards, plenty of foodies are already looking forward to next year, as acclaimed Mexican restaurant Puesto is confirmed to open its first-ever location outside of California right on the ground floor of The Everett tower. The restaurant is famous for its Mexico City–style tacos and vibrant atmosphere. It’s another sign of how our city continues to attract national brands eager to contribute to Nashville’s culinary landscape.Weatherwise, we expect a warm and mostly sunny Sunday with highs reaching 86 degrees. Early risers may have noticed mild fog along Charlotte Pike this morning, but it should clear quickly. There’s a slight chance of an afternoon shower, but most outdoor events—including the Golden Pheasant Triathlon and neighborhood farmers markets—should go on as planned.Turning to city hall, debate continues over the major transit referendum that could reshape how we navigate downtown and the historic East Bank. Voters and neighborhood groups are weighing concerns about costs and potential traffic during the construction phase. Meanwhile, city council approved new funding for Greenway improvements, especially along the Cumberland River—promising better bike and pedestrian access by next spring.If you’re looking for something to do, the International Black Film Festival lights up Belmont University from October first through the fifth, showcasing global cinema and hosting panels open to the public. On the sports front, local high schoolers are making headlines as Pearl Cohn’s football squad remains undefeated after Friday’s overtime win on their home turf at Noelton Avenue.Today’s crime report notes a quieter than usual Saturday night. Metro police responded to a single attempted car break-in near 12th and Demonbreun, making an arrest after a swift call from a neighbor. Officers remind us to lock our vehicles and report suspicious activity quickly. The department says overall crime rates continue to trend lower this month.And finally, on a heartwarming note, a local chef gathered friends and fans for an impromptu cookout yesterday at Curry Boys BBQ to celebrate raising over ten thousand dollars for addiction recovery programs in South Nashville. Every dollar came from neighbors who simply wanted to help.That’s everything for this Sunday morning in our city.
