Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Saturday, July 19th, 2025.We begin with breaking news at the new Tennessee Titans stadium construction site downtown. Construction is at a complete standstill today after a noose was discovered on the site earlier this week. Metro Nashville Police and the Titans’ construction partners are investigating, and no work will continue until a full sitewide inclusion and respect review takes place. The Tennessee Builders Alliance is also offering a reward for information, calling this act both racist and hateful. The stadium, which broke ground this past February, was expected to finish in 2027, and so far, no delays beyond the current investigation are officially announced.Turning to weather, we’re waking up to rain across much of Middle Tennessee, with temperatures starting in the mid-70s. We can expect some showers to linger through late morning, but skies should clear up somewhat as we head towards the afternoon highs in the low 90s. Humidity will stay high, so keep an eye on heat advisories if you’re headed to outdoor events or festivals today.Switching gears to city hall, there’s fresh debate after a Metro Council proposal suggesting property owners should share the cost of clearing homeless camps around Nashville’s greenways and parks. The mayor’s office is reviewing the plan while local service groups argue it could place too much burden on residents. Also, our police department just concluded a dramatic few months in the courthouse. The most recent Davidson County grand jury indicted nearly every case presented, including several high-profile felony cases. That follows a notably stricter approach compared to earlier this year, which saw an unusually high number of non-indictments, even for serious charges—a point still stirring plenty of conversation in our legal circles.Police are also reporting progress on some major investigations. The third and final teen suspect is now in custody for the June 30th fatal shooting at Buffalo Trail Apartments on Dickerson Pike. In another case, a woman has just been charged with filing a false report tied to an ongoing double-homicide investigation—police say her information hindered their work. On public safety, no widespread alerts this morning, but local authorities are maintaining extra patrols downtown and near construction sites following recent high-profile incidents.In more uplifting news, a resident at Nashville’s Strobel House, Johnnie Williams, has just earned her medical assistant diploma with a perfect GPA. After finding stable housing, she’s an example of how access to support can truly transform lives. The city continues to expand similar transitional housing programs, offering hope to more of our neighbors.On the job front, Nashville’s employment numbers remain healthy this summer, with several major restaurants and music venues still hiring to meet steady tourism demand. The real estate market is cooling a bit, but median home prices are holding firm just above five hundred thousand dollars.Music City’s alive this weekend, with outdoor concerts at Bicentennial Park and indie showcases going on tonight at Exit/In. There’s also cheer as our youth baseball team just advanced to state finals after a dramatic extra-innings win yesterday, and Metro Nashville Public Schools are being recognized for tripling security investments since 2021.And finally, for new business, several local coffee shops are hosting reopening celebrations this weekend, while a new vegan bakery just opened on Main Street in East Nashville.Thanks for tuning in to Local Pulse.
