サマリー
あらすじ・解説
Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Thursday, April 10, 2025.
We begin with breaking weather-related news. Recent severe storms across Tennessee have caused significant damage, and two weather-related fatalities were confirmed this week. Though the storms have subsided, flooding along the Mississippi and Ohio rivers remains a pressing concern, with evacuation orders still in effect for impacted areas. Closer to home, power outages and hail damage have been reported across parts of Nashville. The Tennessee Emergency Management Agency is urging everyone to stay vigilant and avoid flooded roads. Today, we’re looking at partly cloudy skies with a high near 69, but keep an umbrella handy as scattered showers are possible later this evening.
In city government news, the Tennessee House of Representatives continues its 24th legislative session today. Key issues include new discussions on expanding free school meals for children, an initiative aimed at reducing food insecurity statewide. Meanwhile, Nashville’s Second Harvest Food Bank faces challenges after federal funding cuts, potentially impacting thousands of families.
Turning to our community and economy, Nashville's tech sector is booming. Amazon and Oracle have added thousands of jobs, with tech roles boasting median salaries above $84,000. This rapid growth makes Nashville a standout tech hub, drawing talent nationally. On the real estate front, housing demand remains high as the city adds approximately 63 new residents daily. While home prices rise, there is optimism as single-family housing permits keep pace with the population growth.
In business, a beloved local bakery, Sweet Haven on 12th Avenue, announced its closure after 15 years of serving the community. While bittersweet, an exciting newcomer, Riverstone Coffee Roasters, will open this weekend in East Nashville, promising to become a new favorite for coffee enthusiasts.
For sports fans, Smashville came alive as the Nashville Predators clinched a thrilling overtime win against the Chicago Blackhawks last night, solidifying their spot in the playoffs. On the high school front, congratulations to Hillsboro High School’s girls' soccer team for advancing to the state semifinals after a dominant 3-0 victory.
In the arts, the Nashville Comedy Festival continues to bring laughter to the city this week, featuring performances by well-known comedians at venues like the Ryman Auditorium and Zanies. If you're a live music fan, don’t miss local favorite Morgan Wallen’s surprise pop-up at the Bridgestone Arena later today.
For community events, the Celebration of Motherhood event is happening Sunday at Centennial Park, offering support and resources for expecting and new moms. Additionally, the No Mow April initiative in nearby Kingston Springs encourages residents to let their yards grow to help pollinators thrive.
On a more serious note, in crime news, Metro Nashville Police have released images of the vehicle tied to the deadly shooting in Paragon Mills earlier this week and are asking for public assistance. In another incident, 12 teens were arrested for breaking into and vandalizing a home for sale. Authorities remind us all to ensure our homes are secure, especially those listed on the market.
Let’s end on a heartwarming story. The Nashville Library’s "Pinwheels for Prevention" campaign has installed thousands of pinwheels downtown, each representing efforts to combat child abuse in our community. It’s a poignant reminder of the impact we can all have when we come together for a cause.
This has been Nashville Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates. Stay safe and enjoy your day!
