Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Friday, September 26, 2025. We are starting our day with big news about city services. In observance of California Native American Day, all San Diego Superior Court offices and courtrooms are closed today. Listeners who need court services should check the court’s website to handle traffic tickets or get information. This holiday is also recognized by our Board of Education, which has emphasized the unique contributions and ongoing challenges faced by local Native American communities, especially in our schools and public life.Turning to the weather, we wake up to cloudy skies at around 68 degrees, but by midday expect mostly sunny conditions and highs near 74. There is just a light breeze from the west, and humidity stays around 70 percent, so a comfortable early fall day all around. It looks like a great afternoon for outdoor plans across the city, with just a slim chance of clouds rolling in late.At City Hall, the Planning Commission has just approved the much-anticipated Midway District redevelopment. This project, years in the making, aims to replace aging warehouses and strip malls along Sports Arena Boulevard with affordable housing and fresh businesses. Supporters hope the revamp will bring new energy, safer streets, and more options for local families and renters.Overnight, San Diego police are investigating a string of hate crimes stretching from Bankers Hill to North Park. Since December, a suspect has vandalized multiple churches and shrines with hateful graffiti in the early mornings. Surveillance footage shows a heavyset man in his late twenties to thirties, usually wearing dark clothing and glasses. Police encourage anyone with leads to contact Crime Stoppers right away. In other public safety news, a tragic bicycle collision near Lake Murray last week claimed the life of 68-year-old David Engler of El Cajon. Another cyclist is recovering after being hospitalized, reminding us all to take it slow and wear helmets, especially on crowded paths.In the community, job seekers will want to take advantage of new opportunities as several tech and biotech companies ramp up hiring in Mission Valley and Sorrento Mesa. Unemployment in the area remains below five percent, and more than 500 new jobs have been posted this week across healthcare, hospitality, and defense.Real estate watchers see steady demand for homes around Balboa Park and Point Loma, with median prices holding at just under a million dollars. The rental market remains tight, fueled by new residents and students settling in for the fall.This weekend, look for the Adams Avenue Street Fair returning to Normal Heights, with live music, food trucks, and local artists starting Saturday morning. The Padres continue their late-season push at Petco Park, and several high school sports teams celebrate big wins this week, including Torrey Pines soccer and Patrick Henry football.Finally, a feel-good note this Friday. Volunteers gathered at Sunset Cliffs last night to help release seven rescued sea turtles, drawing cheers from families and surfers alike. Moments like this remind us of the small but powerful ways we come together as a community.Thank you for tuning in to San Diego Local Pulse.
