Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Sunday, July 13, 2025.We wake up today under partly cloudy skies, with temperatures expected to reach the mid-80s across Davidson County.

No major storms expected, but a stray shower could pop up late this evening.Big news this weekend from our local government—city hall announced updates to zoning rules near Centennial Park and Midtown, aiming to spur more mixed-use developments and increase housing options. The plan could bring over 300 new units and make it easier for local businesses on West End Avenue to expand sidewalk dining. Supporters say this marks a step toward balancing growth with our city’s character.On the economic front, the job market remains hot. According to the Chamber of Commerce, Nashville added just over five hundred new jobs in June, especially in healthcare, tech, and tourism.
