 Good morning, this is Charlotte Local Pulse for Saturday, December 13, 2025.

We start today with transportation, because it affects how we all move around town. According to WFAE, CATS is shutting down the entire Gold Line and most of the Blue Line for preventive maintenance today and tomorrow. The south segment from 7th Street down to I 485 is closed, and later today the north segment up to UNC Charlotte shuts as well. Bus bridges are running, but we should build extra time if we are heading through uptown, South End, or to campus. Service is expected to be back to normal Monday morning.

From city hall, council members are focusing on transit reliability and public safety funding, especially after recent high profile incidents on trains and around uptown. We can expect more debate over how much of next year’s budget goes to CATS upgrades and CMPD staffing.

Our weather today is mild and a bit cloudy, with highs in the upper 50s and a small chance of a passing shower in the afternoon. It stays cool and dry into tonight, a good setup for evening plans in South End, Plaza Midwood, or NoDa. The short term outlook is seasonable and calm, with no major storms on the horizon.

On crime, WCNC reports a heartbreaking story out of Washington Heights. A missing Charlotte mother was found dead inside her car near LaSalle Street, just a short distance from the gas station where she was last seen. Police have not yet released a cause of death, and CMPD is still confirming details about a possible arrest. We keep her family, and especially her young child, in our thoughts as this investigation continues.

In the job market, UNC Charlotte’s Hire A Niner board lists dozens of open full time roles in our area, from software engineers and data analysts to healthcare, banking, and construction positions. City of Charlotte job postings and staffing firms like Randstad are also showing nearly a hundred local openings, many in professional and skilled trades, giving our workforce solid options heading into the new year.

Real estate agents say the median home price in Charlotte is hovering around the mid 400 thousand dollar range, with strong activity along Providence Road, Steele Creek, and near the light rail corridors, even with today’s shutdown. Rents around South End and NoDa remain high but are stabilizing as new apartment buildings open.

For culture and music, we have holiday concerts at Belk Theater and smaller shows in NoDa and Camp North End tonight. Local breweries along North Davidson and the Rail Trail are hosting toy drives and makers markets through the weekend.

In school news, several CMS high school basketball teams opened their seasons with big wins this week, including strong showings from programs on the west and south sides, giving students and families something to cheer about as exams approach.

Our feel good story today is about volunteers along West Boulevard who have been organizing food and coat drives, making sure neighbors have what they need as temperatures dip. Churches and community groups have teamed up so families can pick up groceries, warm clothes, and toys in one stop.

Thank you for tuning in, and please remember to subscribe so we can keep bringing our listeners the stories that shape life in our city. This has been Charlotte Local Pulse.
