Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Saturday, February 8, 2025.
We start with some breaking news. A 15-year-old was tragically killed in a shooting outside a tobacco store in Clarksville. Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the victim. In another incident, a pedestrian was killed after being struck on I-65 North in Robertson County. We urge everyone to be cautious on the roads.
In local developments, a bill has been proposed to train tattoo artists to spot signs of human trafficking. This initiative aims to equip professionals with the knowledge to identify and report suspicious activities. Meanwhile, a local construction supply company is bracing for tariffs on Chinese goods, which could impact the industry.
On a lighter note, with Valentine's Day around the corner, a local couple is making chocolate to meet Middle Tennessee's sweet tooth. If you're looking for ways to celebrate, we've got you covered with a list of Valentine's Day events around Music City.
In job market news, Nashville continues to thrive. The city added over 26,000 new jobs in 2023, ranking among the top 5 metro areas in the nation. The unemployment rate stands at a low 2.7%. For those looking for opportunities, the Tennessee House of Representatives is hiring seasonal proofreaders, and there are openings for firefighters and police officers. The nonprofit sector is also hiring, with positions available at the University School of Nashville and Operation Andrew Group.
In real estate, Greater Nashville is seeing a robust upward trend. Single-family and condominium prices have shown modest increases, accompanied by a 7% rise in inventory. This points to the city's attractiveness as a living destination, fueling both residential demand and economic growth.
In sports, the Tennessee Sports Writers Association has released the latest rankings for boys and girls basketball. Local schools are performing well, with Clarksville's girls' team ranked 6th in Class 4A. The University School of Nashville also had a busy week in athletics, with various matches and competitions.
In community news, Fisk University is celebrating its legacy of resistance, resilience, and excellence. The Nashville Sounds are hosting a fan fest with a meet and greet with players. For those looking for something to do this weekend, there are plenty of events around the city, including a community creek clean-up inspired by an injured Blue Heron.
In crime news, a woman was arrested in connection with the mass evacuation at Opry Mills Mall. We remind everyone to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities.
Finally, a feel-good story to end our broadcast. A new nonprofit has held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a house for new moms without a home. This initiative aims to provide support and resources to those in need.
This has been Nashville Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
