 Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Sunday, October 12, 2025.

We start today with a vibrant recap of our city’s heart. This weekend, the Tulsa Pride parade rolled through downtown with floats, live music, and a resource fair—Organizers stepped up security to make sure everyone felt safe and included. Families and friends gathered from Brookside to Archer Street, embracing the day’s theme of hope and unity. Private security teams and police patrols were highly visible, helping festival-goers relax and enjoy the celebration. Many voiced appreciation, saying the extra precautions allowed everyone to focus on joy, not worry.

Looking to city hall, Mayor Monroe Nichols prepares for his first State of the City address since taking office. He’ll speak live from Chapman Music Hall at Tulsa Performing Arts Center on November twelfth. His vision covers reaching zero homelessness by 2030, adding six thousand units of affordable housing, and making Tulsa the safest big city in America. Local listeners who care about jobs, student achievement, and partnerships with tribal nations won’t want to miss what’s next.

As for real estate, the story continues to be affordability. Median home prices around Tulsa are holding steady near two hundred sixty thousand dollars. Yet nearly half of households statewide—about seven hundred thousand—now struggle to afford basic needs. Property taxes have climbed to an average of around a thousand dollars per year for owner-occupied homes, fueling debates about reform. Local leaders are cautious about big changes, warning that deep cuts could hit schools and fire departments hard.

The job market is feeling ripples from the ongoing government shutdown. Local employers, especially in heating, air, and plumbing, report sluggish business and rising anxiety, especially for folks waiting on federal contracts or financing. Owners like Cassie Pound at Quality Heat and Air say more people are postponing repairs, and loan approvals for customers are down. If the shutdown stretches on, we could see job losses and delays for materials across Tulsa.

On the crime front, Tulsa Police are urging vigilance after spotting a murder suspect from Florida near Woodland Hills Mall last Friday. Jesus Jimenez is wanted for probation violation tied to murder, robbery, and battery. Authorities ask anyone with tips to call 911 or Crime Stoppers. Otherwise, our weekend has been quiet, with routine patrols keeping South Peoria and Admiral Place safe for evening walkers and late-night businesses.

Let’s check the weather—We're waking up to partly cloudy skies, highs in the upper seventies, and a light south breeze sweeping across Riverside Drive. The chance for rain is low, but keep an eye out as cooler air rolls in tonight; Monday looks breezy and slightly cooler.

In schools, Booker T. Washington High took the win in last night’s football game against Union; congratulations to all Hornets athletes. Tulsa Public Schools also received praise for improving attendance and launching new mental health supports for students this fall.

For business buzz, a new brunch spot opened its doors on Cherry Street this weekend, and local favorite Ida Red will soon expand its hours for fall shoppers. We’re also hearing about a few temporary closings—especially construction near 71st and Memorial could impact shoppers through next week.

Community events to keep on your radar: Indigenous Peoples Day celebrations are happening Monday at Guthrie Green and along the Blue Dome District, featuring tribal vendors, storytelling, and live performances. The Philbrook Museum launches their autumn art series this week, perfect for a family outing.

And for a feel-good story to start your Sunday, volunteers at Tulsa Food Bank served more than five hundred families yesterday, handing out fresh produce and meal kits with smiles and a helping hand. In times of need, our community steps up—reminding us what makes Tulsa so strong.
