Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Saturday, August 23. We’re kicking off today with heavy headlines out of National City where authorities are investigating a tragic crime—local police say 71-year-old Wanda Taylor was found stabbed to death at her home, and the community is rallying around her grieving husband, who’s seeking justice with the help of police and activists. Just outside Fallbrook along Mission Road, deputies made an arrest yesterday, seizing a “ghost gun”—those untraceable firearms continue to challenge local safety efforts.Overnight, clouds and even a little fog pushed across the coast. Expect patchy low clouds through late morning at beaches and spots like Ocean Beach and La Jolla. If you’re inland, prepare for another scorcher with high temperatures flirting with one hundred five degrees in the East County valleys. The National Weather Service keeps the heat advisory up through this evening, so listen in—drink extra water and check on neighbors, kids, and pets. There’s also a slight chance of showers or thunderstorms west of Alpine, mainly in the mountains and deserts, so look for possible quick downpours if you’re hiking at Mount Laguna or driving out Interstate Eight.At city hall, council members have advanced new water conservation guidelines, aiming to curb usage during these ongoing heatwaves. Expect restrictions on watering lawns along El Cajon Boulevard and some limits to fountain use in Balboa Park; updates are promised next week with a public Q and A planned Tuesday evening.In the job market, San Diego’s unemployment rate ticks steady at around four percent, and local hiring remains strong in tech, healthcare, and hospitality with roughly one thousand openings posted this week, especially downtown and up in UTC. Several new businesses are opening, including a vegan bakery in North Park and a microbrewery expansion along Kettner Boulevard in Little Italy; meanwhile, one long-time surf shop on Garnet Avenue announced its closing after more than forty years.School news brings a highlight to La Jolla High’s robotics team—they took home the top trophy at a regional competition, beating out twenty other schools. On the sports front, the Padres won a nail-biter at Petco Park last night, clinching victory with a late ninth-inning run against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Local soccer fans have high hopes as San Diego Loyal prepares to host Sacramento Republic Sunday evening at Torero Stadium.Real estate continues its summer surge, with the average home price near nine hundred thousand dollars. Open houses are bustling in Point Loma and Chula Vista, and realtors report that family buyers are especially active.For music lovers, the San Diego Symphony performs outdoors at The Shell tonight, while indie bands take over venues along Adams Avenue for the district’s live music crawl. Community events include the Gun Buyback in El Cajon today, offering folks a chance to exchange unwanted firearms for gift cards and support public safety.For a local bright spot, a group of volunteers at Balboa Park helped restore the iconic carousel, reopening it for free rides yesterday and delighting families and visitors—just another reminder of what our community can do when we team up together.We wrap up with public safety: besides the investigation in National City, deputies made arrests in Spring Valley after break-ins at several homeless encampments. Stay alert for road closures near Santee due to these incidents.Thank you for tuning in. Don’t forget to subscribe for daily updates. This has been San Diego Local Pulse.
