 Good morning, this is Charlotte Local Pulse for Friday, November 21. We are starting the day with a sigh of relief as the high-profile immigration crackdown that has swept through Charlotte over the last week is now officially over. Law enforcement leaders here say federal officials confirmed that the border operation, known as Charlotte’s Web, has ended, and no further border agent activity is scheduled for today. This brings an end to days of uncertainty for many families, following hundreds of arrests since last weekend. The student response was remarkable, with over 21,000 Charlotte-Mecklenburg students walking out of school on Monday to protest the raids, turning uptown and key school campuses into scenes of peaceful, passionate demonstration. Our community's resilience remains on display.

In other news from city hall, council members have extended their debate on new zoning changes meant to expand affordable housing options on Beatties Ford Road and in northeast neighborhoods. No final decision yet, but officials hope a compromise before next week will keep multiple development projects on track. The city continues to invest in small business growth, highlighted by the recent grand opening of the Plaza District Market, bringing over 120 jobs and new retail and dining options to central Charlotte.

Now, let us talk weather. We started the morning with mild temps in the mid-fifties. Expect some clouds and a slight chance of afternoon showers, especially along Park Road and South End, but nothing heavy enough to disrupt your plans. Weekend outlook calls for cooler temps, dropping into the low forties overnight, so bundle up if you are heading out Saturday.

The local job market is experiencing a fall hiring boost. Several area employers, including Atrium Health and Bank of America, are each looking to fill hundreds of positions this season. Unemployment has edged down to just under four percent across Mecklenburg County, marking a year-low and giving job seekers more options.

Real estate remains hot. Median home prices inside the I-485 loop are trending above four hundred and fifty thousand dollars, up nearly eight percent from last year. First-time buyers are finding some relief, with new developments along Wilkinson Boulevard including affordable units coming next spring.

Music lovers can catch Truth Club playing live at The Evening Muse tonight, while The Bechtler Museum is hosting a family jazz day this Saturday. In sports, our Charlotte Hornets clinched a nail-biter against Miami at Spectrum Center, led by LaMelo Ball’s thirty points. Charlotte-Mecklenburg high schools celebrate after Myers Park took their regional football championship in a rain-soaked thriller last night.

On the crime front, we saw a quiet day for serious incidents. CMPD reports a significant arrest in the NoDa area Wednesday night connected to recent auto thefts. Officers urge residents to secure their vehicles, particularly in lots near North Davidson and 36th Street.

On the brighter side, since it is the season of giving, volunteers from Second Harvest Food Bank are teaming up with students at West Charlotte High to deliver holiday meal boxes to nearly seven hundred families today, showing once again the strength and kindness of our city.

That wraps up another busy Friday in Charlotte. Thank you for tuning in and make sure to subscribe. This has been Charlotte Local Pulse. We will see you tomorrow with more local updates. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
