  • Lexington Local Pulse: Cool Start, Union Concerns, and Bluegrass Battle

    Lexington Local Pulse: Cool Start, Union Concerns, and Bluegrass Battle
    2025/04/22
    Good morning, this is Lexington Local Pulse for Tuesday, April 22, 2025.

    We wake up today to a cool and cloudy start, with temperatures lingering in the mid-fifties. Expect some scattered showers passing through town this morning, but conditions should clear by mid-afternoon. So if you have errands or outdoor plans, keep an umbrella handy for the early half of the day. Looking ahead, we’ll see a mix of sun and clouds into the evening with milder temperatures returning tomorrow.

    Turning to breaking news that impacts workers across our community, local unions are raising concerns over recent cuts to NIOSH, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, warning that these reductions could affect workplace protections for thousands in Kentucky. Leaders urge state and city officials to push back, given the significant role industrial and healthcare jobs play in our economy.

    In city hall news, the Lexington City Council is set to discuss updated zoning proposals tonight, focusing on affordable housing options near Red Mile Road and the South Broadway corridor. These changes could mean more accessible rentals and first-time buyer opportunities for young families and essential workers.

    On the jobs front, Lexington continues to show remarkable strength post-pandemic. New data reveals our metro has grown employment by nearly six percent since 2020, outpacing cities like Cincinnati and Cleveland in our Federal Reserve district. Our current unemployment rate remains low, holding steady near three and a half percent, reflecting a robust job market across sectors from logistics to healthcare and tech.

    For the arts, we have a special treat this Thursday evening. Academy Award-winning filmmaker and University of Kentucky alumnus Paul Wagner returns to campus for a documentary screening and Q and A session at the UK Student Center. It’s a great chance for students and locals to engage with an acclaimed storyteller with deep Lexington roots.

    In live music, tonight country heavyweight Lee Brice will headline a special acoustic concert at the historic Lexington Opera House at 7:30. Tickets are still available and doors open early, so expect some traffic on Short Street and around Triangle Park as fans arrive.

    In sports, the city’s buzzing as UK hosts Louisville for the second edition of the Battle of the Bluegrass tonight at Kentucky Proud Park. Both teams will have plenty of local eyes on them, and with the rivalry heating up, this promises to pack the stands and energize the campus.

    On the community beat, we celebrate our Henry Clay High School robotics team, who took home second place at the regional championships this past weekend. Their mentor credits the win to hard work and community support.

    For public safety, Lexington Police responded yesterday to a disturbance on Tates Creek Road, leading to one arrest but no injuries reported. Authorities remind everyone to stay vigilant and report suspicious activity, especially as we move into busier spring nights.

    Finally, here’s a feel-good story to brighten your morning. UK Healthcare doctors and Kentucky State Police teamed up for the first-ever wilderness rescue simulation, landing an emergency helicopter right on the University’s rooftop pad. The exercise aims to boost readiness and collaboration, ensuring faster response times when it truly counts.

    That’s all for now. This has been Lexington Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • Weekend Weather, Infrastructure Updates, and Local Happenings in Lexington

    Weekend Weather, Infrastructure Updates, and Local Happenings in Lexington
    2025/04/19
    Good morning, this is Lexington Local Pulse for Saturday, April 19th, 2025.

    We start our day tracking the weather, as a slow-moving cold front sits over our region this weekend, so we can expect on-and-off showers throughout today. If you’re heading to a local event or planning anything outdoors, be sure to bring an umbrella and keep an eye out for scattered rain that could interrupt your plans. Temperatures will stay cool but mild, and this pattern looks to stick around through much of the weekend, so our grass and gardens are in for a good drink.

    In breaking news, the city is still buzzing about the ongoing cleanup efforts across central Kentucky. Our neighbors in Bowling Green are facing significant challenges after recent floods left dozens of sinkholes and several impassable roads. While we haven’t seen that level of disruption here in Lexington, it’s a reminder of how unpredictable spring weather can be and the importance of storm preparedness in our own neighborhoods.

    From city hall, we’re watching for updates on coming infrastructure projects and how they’ll impact traffic around Main Street and the University district. City leaders continue to discuss ways to support local businesses impacted by recent storms, including emergency grants and expedited permits for repairs.

    On the job front, our local unemployment rate remains healthy, hovering near three percent—one of the lowest rates in the state. For those looking to make a move, two major career fairs are coming up. There’s a virtual event today, connecting job seekers with employers from customer service to healthcare. Then on April twenty-ninth, the Career Fair Connection is happening downtown on Lexington Street. Dress to impress and bring a stack of resumes—many companies are ready to hire on the spot.

    Turning to real estate, the spring market is brisk. Homes around Chevy Chase and Hamburg are selling quickly, with average prices holding steady from last month. We’re seeing continued demand from new families moving into the area, especially near our best school districts.

    Now for your weekend plans. Easter egg hunts and the Tour de Lou are drawing crowds, and Kentucky’s own Tyler Childers plays Kroger Field tonight, sure to be a highlight for music lovers. If you’re looking for a good time with the family, keep an eye on the city calendar for art walks and farmers markets popping up along Short Street and Triangle Park.

    In local sports, congratulations to Dunbar High for their big win in the regional baseball semi-finals. And hats off to the Lafayette girls’ soccer team, who advance to the state playoffs after a dramatic shootout victory last night.

    As for today’s crime report, police are investigating an incident after a man arrived at a local hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound yesterday. Officers responded to the scene quickly, and the investigation is ongoing. Public safety officials remind us to report any suspicious activity and look out for our neighbors.

    Finally, a quick feel-good note. Students at Henry Clay High organized a citywide cleanup last weekend, filling dozens of bags with trash from local parks. Their leadership and effort remind us all of the power of community pride.

    This has been Lexington Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • Lexington Local Pulse: Bourbon County Probe, Snow Budget, Weather, Jobs Fair, Drag Show, Real Estate, Sports, Community

    Lexington Local Pulse: Bourbon County Probe, Snow Budget, Weather, Jobs Fair, Drag Show, Real Estate, Sports, Community
    2025/04/17
    Good morning, this is Lexington Local Pulse for Thursday, April 17, 2025.

    We start with breaking news out of Bourbon County where testimony has revealed new details in the double homicide investigation that’s shaken our neighboring community. Closer to home, Mayor Linda Gorton has just proposed a new budget that sets aside a record amount for snow and ice removal—something many of us will appreciate as we look back on past winters and plan ahead for the next one.

    The weather today is starting cool and dry, with a mix of clouds and sun expected. Highs will reach the mid-60s this afternoon, so it’s a great day to get outside or take care of outdoor errands. There’s little chance of rain, making it a perfect setup for school sports and after-work strolls. Looking ahead, we’ll stay mostly dry with temperatures gradually warming as we head into the weekend.

    From City Hall, the Planning Commission and Board of Adjustment are meeting in a joint work session today. They’ll be discussing new zoning proposals and development plans, which could impact how properties on Newtown Pike and around the Hamburg area are used in the coming years. These are big decisions that could shape Lexington’s growth and traffic patterns, so we’ll keep an eye on updates.

    Turning to the job market, Lexington’s unemployment rate continues to hold steady at just under three and a half percent, keeping us ahead of the national average. And if you’re on the job hunt or considering a career move, mark your calendar for the Lexington Career Fair happening April 29 downtown. Employers from healthcare, tech, education, and more will be there, giving you a chance to connect face-to-face and maybe land your next big opportunity.

    In local business, a beloved Kentucky restaurant has reopened after nearly two hundred thousand dollars in flood damage repairs. It’s a relief for the owners and neighbors who rallied to support them, and a sign of resilience in our food scene.

    On campus, the University of Kentucky’s Chellgren Center is celebrating the induction of new student and faculty fellows. That’s a big shoutout to local academic achievement. Meanwhile, last week’s Gayla drag show hosted by the UK Gender Sexuality Alliance brought together students and community members for a night of fun, performances, and solidarity—a reminder that Lexington’s spirit of inclusion remains strong.

    Real estate activity remains brisk, especially in neighborhoods like Chevy Chase and Beaumont. Demand for single-family homes is still high, with new listings moving quickly.

    In sports, congratulations go out to our high school baseball teams, some of whom scored impressive wins this week, and to the UK women’s track team for setting a new school record in the relay.

    For community events, UK Bike Week begins next Monday, so expect to see more cyclists around campus and city trails. And don’t miss the farmer’s market returning to the Fifth Third Pavilion this Saturday with spring produce and crafts.

    Our public safety report is thankfully quiet this morning. Police responded to a few minor incidents along Nicholasville Road last night, but no major arrests or threats to public safety have been reported.

    And to end on a high note, volunteers on Leestown Road spent their weekend planting over two hundred trees in honor of Earth Month, bringing more green and shade to our city.

    This has been Lexington Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
