We hope everyone enjoyed a safe and spirited Fourth of July across the Queen City. Uptown Charlotte was aglow last night as thousands gathered for the annual fireworks show. We’re pleased to share that police report no major incidents during the festivities, just two arrests with some minor confiscations of marijuana, cash, and a few firearms. Everyone came together for a memorable, peaceful celebration along Trade Street and at Romare Bearden Park.
A special moment unfolded yesterday at the courthouse, where dozens of our neighbors became new U.S. citizens. The naturalization ceremony, filled with cheers and proud families, was a heartfelt reminder of Charlotte’s growing, diverse community.
On the weather front, we’re waking up to clear skies and mild, comfortable temperatures. We can expect a warm and mostly sunny day, with the mercury climbing into the upper 80s by late afternoon. If you’ve got outdoor plans, like catching a soccer game or hitting the Rail Trail, pack water and sunscreen, but leave the umbrella at home. This clear stretch should last through the weekend, making it perfect for local events and festivals.
For sports fans, the big story tonight is at Bank of America Stadium, where Charlotte FC returns home after a month of road matches. They’re squaring off against Orlando City, with kickoff at 7:15 p.m. This match is a chance for redemption after their last 3-1 loss to Orlando back in May. The stadium will be buzzing, and our home team is hoping for a major win to even up the season series.
In community news, City Hall is moving forward with plans to expand bike lanes on South Boulevard and remap traffic around the Elizabeth neighborhood to improve walkability. These updates are part of Charlotte’s push for safer, greener commuting options.
On the business front, we’re seeing a flurry of activity in South End. This week marked the grand opening of a new farmers market on Camden Road, while a beloved local coffee shop, Queen Perk, announced it will close at the end of the month after ten years in business. Meanwhile, job postings in the metro area jumped to around 4,200 this week, especially in healthcare, technology, and hospitality.
Looking ahead, the Charlotte Jazz Festival kicks off tomorrow at Spirit Square with free afternoon performances. Families can also check out the Plaza Midwood Art Walk starting tonight, featuring more than fifty local artists and live music.
In school news, Myers Park High’s robotics team took top honors at a national competition, making us all proud with their innovation and teamwork.
Lastly, a quick update on public safety: CMPD’s Homicide Unit continues its investigation into a death earlier this week in the Steele Creek area on Archdale Drive. No further details are available yet, but the area remains calm and officers urge anyone with information to reach out.
We’ll close with a feel-good mention: the Dilworth dog park just received a donation of new benches and shade trees from a local gardening club, making canine outings even better for our four-legged friends and their humans.
This has been Charlotte Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
