Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Saturday, August 23rd, 2025.We’ve got a vibrant Saturday ahead here in Nashville, with news that hits close to home. To kick off, there’s breaking news from last night’s Titans preseason game at Nissan Stadium. The Titans came out ahead against the Vikings, but the crowd made headlines as well. Police are investigating after a neon green object was thrown onto the field late in the fourth quarter, an incident that drew plenty of attention but was contained quickly by security. Police have already identified those involved and are working with stadium officials to keep future games safe.Turning to City Hall, neighborhood voices are shaping development in District 33 along Annalie and Leefield. At this week’s community meeting, local parents spoke out with concerns about increased construction traffic and how it could affect kids playing outside. City planners are reviewing options and say they’ll prioritize input from families as the development moves forward. Meanwhile, Metro is expanding affordable housing, aiming to add hundreds of new units this year, a welcome relief as home prices continue their steady climb, with the median now hovering just past five hundred thousand dollars.In real estate, we’re seeing more new homes coming to neighborhoods like East Nashville and Germantown, but longtime residents are raising questions about parking and traffic. As these projects move through planning, there are calls for community walk-throughs to make sure new roads and amenities work for everyone.On the business front, downtown welcomes several new ventures this week. There’s a lot of buzz around the opening of The Emo Cowgirl, a rooftop bar at The Westin, which just hosted country star Megan Moroney’s platinum single celebration. We’ve also got a handful of local coffee shops and bakeries expanding to Hillsboro Village and Sylvan Park, appealing not just to daytime crowds but evening music lovers, too. Sadly, one local favorite, the historic Bryant’s Deli on 8th Avenue, is closing its doors after over sixty years, citing rising rent and slowing foot traffic.Today promises plenty to do outdoors. The Music City Brewers Fest takes over Walk of Fame Park with over one hundred craft brewers, live bands, and games. With the sun out and temps reaching the high eighties, expect a summer atmosphere perfect for yard games and live tunes. Cool off later as the forecast calls for a few clouds but no major storms on the horizon.Music is everywhere this weekend. Megan Moroney’s platinum bash is fresh on our minds, and local acts from the Sweet Lizzy Project to up-and-coming country artists are lighting up venues from the Westin Rooftop to Mercy Lounge. Over at the W. O. Smith Music School, a long-running program offers music lessons for just fifty cents, keeping creativity accessible for every child in the city.For sports fans, our local high school teams are back in action. Pearl-Cohn’s football squad secured a statement win last night, while Overton’s girls’ soccer took home a regional victory. Congrats to all our talented student athletes making Nashville proud.No major crime alerts beyond the stadium incident, but Metro Police urge us all to watch for extra traffic around the Green Hills and Bellevue shopping corridors this weekend due to back-to-school sales. Stay alert and travel safe.Ending on a bright note, let’s celebrate our neighbors: the Bellevue community just raised over ten thousand dollars in a charity run for tornado relief, showing off the true heart of our city.That’s all for today’s Nashville Local Pulse.
