Episode Synopsis

Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Saturday, July 19, 2025. We are waking up to clear skies and beautiful summer weather shaping up across the county. Temperatures along the coast will stay in the low seventies, a light breeze keeping things comfortable at the beaches and parks, while places like El Cajon and Valley Center can expect highs in the low to mid eighties. As we move into next week, those coastal clouds will linger a bit, but we’ll feel more warmth and sunshine by Wednesday.Our city is buzzing this weekend with the kickoff of San Diego Pride. The parade steps off today and celebrations will continue all weekend long throughout Balboa Park and Hillcrest. Thousands of visitors are here, so expect streets like University Avenue and Sixth Avenue to be extra lively. If you’re attending the events, police are reminding everyone to watch their belongings. Last year saw a spike in thefts, especially cell phones and wallets at crowded venues and bars, so keep those valuables in your front pockets and look out for your friends.Tragically, the community mourns the loss of an eight-year-old boy after a scooter accident earlier this week, highlighting ongoing concerns about e-scooter safety on city streets. In other top stories, the beloved Las Cuatro Milpas in Barrio Logan is up for sale, stirring nostalgia in the neighborhood where it’s been a staple for generations. And in Escondido, police confirm a fatal incident last night on South Maple Street involving a pedestrian, with details still emerging.Turning to real estate, our market stays hot but steady. Median home prices in San Diego now hover just above eight hundred sixty thousand dollars, with inventory ticking slightly up. On the job front, local tech firms along the I-15 corridor have announced about one hundred new positions opening in software and biotech, offering fresh opportunities for job seekers.Businesswise, we’re seeing new faces and fare. The Gaslamp Quarter welcomes a new artisan bakery on Fifth Avenue, while the boardwalk says goodbye to a much-loved surf shop at Pacific Beach after thirty years in business.Sports fans, Padres play the Nationals at home this afternoon, with plenty of eyes on star shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr., who’s chasing his twentieth home run of the season. Local high school sports delivered a standout as San Diego High’s tennis team clinched the state semifinals this week, making waves in the city’s prep sports community.For some weekend fun, the Over The Line World Championship is back on Fiesta Island, with colorful teams and crowds guaranteed. Farmers markets pop up from Little Italy to Pacific Beach, and the Filipino American Friendship Festival lights up Liberty Station today. Meanwhile at Fashion Valley, it’s Christmas in July, complete with local vendors and giveaways.And to end on a positive, neighbors in Encanto rallied together last night to build new playground equipment at Lomita Park, a true show of community spirit that will bring joy to local kids for years to come.Thank you for tuning in this morning, and don’t forget to subscribe to our updates.
