Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for December 1, 2024. We're starting the day with a look at what's happening around our city.First off, let's talk about the latest news. The Coast Guard has been busy, evacuating a woman from a cruise ship off our coast with the help of crews from San Diego and Sacramento[2]. Closer to home, an at-risk 71-year-old San Diegan has been missing for almost a month, and the police are urging anyone with information to come forward[2].In local business news, Small Business Saturday was a big hit in San Diego neighborhoods like La Jolla and North Park, with many residents choosing to shop local[2]. Speaking of shopping, if you're looking for deals, many Black Friday sales are still going on, including Gelson's online-only sale[1].On the job front, we don't have any major hiring announcements today, but it's worth noting that the new San Diego City Council is gearing up to tackle increased challenges in the new year[2]. For those looking for work, many top local employers are still hiring, so be sure to check out their job postings.In real estate, the iconic Imperial Beach Pier has reopened just in time for holiday walks[2]. If you're in the market for a new home, weekly median home prices and inventory levels are stable, but we recommend checking with local realtors for the latest updates.From City Hall, we have news that the new council is focusing on decisions that affect daily life, including addressing homelessness and improving public safety[2]. Weather-wise, it's looking like a beautiful day out there, with clear skies and a high of 72 degrees[4]. Perfect weather for all the holiday events happening around the city, including the Rady Children’s Ice Rink at Liberty Station and the Holiday Grinch Market at Westfield Mission Valley Center[1].New businesses are popping up around town, including the reopening of the Balboa Park Botanical Building next week[2]. If you're looking for something to do, there are plenty of community events happening over the next few days, including the Downtown Chula Vista Tree Lighting Celebration and the Holiday Choral Concert at San Marcos Lutheran Church[1].In local sports, the San Diego Seals are playing a home game at Pechanga Arena today, and the San Diego Clippers are also in action at Frontwave Arena[1].On a feel-good note, a La Mesa man who saved three lives through organ donation will be honored in the 2025 Rose Parade[2].In our crime report, we have news of an Oceanside man shot in a suspected drive-by shooting during a surfing trip[3].
