Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Sunday, August 24. We’re starting off the day with a big win for the Boys in Gold last night. Nashville SC set a new home record, blowing past Orlando City 5 to 1 at Geodis Park. Sam Surridge and Hany Mukhtar both scored two goals each in the first half, with Surridge reclaiming his spot at the top for the MLS Golden Boot. Hany Mukhtar also notched two assists, joining only a handful of players in league history to hit double digits for both goals and assists this season. That launch back into the win column feels especially sweet after our recent run of tough away games, and with just four points between us and the top of the Eastern Conference, it’s shaping up to be another electrifying finish to the season.Turning to city hall, the biggest development is talk of a major rezoning plan up for debate next week. If approved, this could clear the way for thousands of new homes across the city, with the main impact expected near the Charlotte Avenue corridor and out toward Antioch. It’s just one piece of the ongoing effort to make housing more accessible in our booming city.A dark note this morning on crime: police report a pair of break-ins last night in the East Nashville area, specifically off Woodland Street. Officers responded quickly, and while no injuries are reported, there have been two arrests connected to these incidents. The Metro Police Department reminds neighbors to stay alert and keep doors locked, especially as we move into the last days of summer.Weather is at the top of everyone’s mind today, with that simmering late August heat sticking around. It’s mostly cloudy this morning and expected to hit a sticky high of 89 this afternoon. Some scattered showers could roll in after lunch. Anyone planning outdoor plans around Bicentennial Park or a Sunday stroll on the Greenway might want a backup or umbrella handy. Looking ahead, the next few days bring more clouds, with another storm chance late Tuesday.On the music front, we saw an inspiring story at the W.O. Smith Music School downtown, which continues its mission to offer music lessons for just fifty cents to families with limited incomes. Over the past four decades, this school has given Nashville kids—including our current mayor—the chance to chase their musical dreams, regardless of family finances.And speaking of music, country singer Gavin Adcock delighted fans at the Franklin Walmart yesterday with a surprise album signing. He’s currently on tour with Morgan Wallen and made a special stop just for his Nashville fans. These are the kinds of hometown moments that make our community feel close-knit even as we grow.On real estate, new affordable housing units are opening this week in the Bordeaux area, bringing relief for working families. The recent report put Nashville’s median home price just below 440 thousand, and the job market continues to trend upward with a bump in postings for healthcare and education positions around the Vanderbilt and Midtown areas.In schools news, congratulations to the Hume-Fogg Blue Knights for their robotics team victory at the state competition yesterday, and a quick shout out to Metro Nashville high schools with the start of fall sports—football and volleyball seasons are both officially underway.Before we go, here’s a feel-good story: Kane Brown, along with volunteers from Habitat for Humanity, spent Saturday building homes in North Nashville—a reminder of the strong spirit in our music city.
