  • Tulsa Update: Overnight Shooting, Community Conversations, Unsettled Weather, and Local Sports Highlights
    2025/04/22
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Tuesday, April 22.

    We begin with breaking news from overnight. Police have arrested two men, Daniel Lopez and Jonne Padilla, after a shooting in the parking lot near 41st and Sheridan outside Buffalo Wild Wings. Two people were hurt—one man was shot in the torso but is expected to survive, and another was grazed by a bullet. Both suspects were quickly found just a block away thanks to witness descriptions, and they’re now facing serious charges. Detectives are still trying to pin down the motive, but officials say there was no known prior connection between the suspects and victims. We’ll keep following this case for updates on public safety.

    Shifting gears, let’s look to our city leaders. Mayor Nichols and other city officials kick off a new series of community conversations tonight in South Tulsa. These events are set to address resident concerns, with a big focus on mental health services and emergency response following new partnerships at the 911 call center. Also, waterline repairs continue on South Harvard between 51st and 54th, so expect some lane restrictions if you’re driving through that corridor today.

    Turning to the weather, it’s a muggy start across Tulsa. After overnight storms rolled through much of Green Country, we’re sitting with mid-70s temperatures this morning. Expect passing showers and maybe even a rumble or two of thunder as the day goes on, especially south and east of downtown. High humidity persists, with a chance for more rain in the afternoon, so keep an umbrella handy if you’re headed out. The rest of the week looks slightly cooler but stays unsettled, so watch the skies before making evening plans.

    For sports fans, the Tulsa Oilers have inked a new five-year lease with the BOK Center, locking in their home games through 2029. That’s big news for local hockey fans and downtown businesses alike. Speaking of local teams, our school athletes continue to shine. Booker T. Washington’s track team took home several medals at last weekend’s regional meet, and Tulsa Union’s soccer squads both advanced in the state playoffs. Congratulations to all our student athletes representing Tulsa with pride.

    In the job and real estate markets, Tulsa’s seeing steady growth. More than 400 new jobs are opening up this month in healthcare, logistics, and retail. Real estate remains active, with the city approving three new tax increment finance districts designed to support over 1,800 housing units and more retail along the Peoria and Riverside corridors.

    On the cultural front, while the beloved Herbal Affair festival in Sand Springs was called off this past weekend due to the weather, there are still plenty of community events coming up. Look for neighborhood genealogy workshops hosted by the city on Thursday and Friday, and the Oxley Nature Center celebrates its new artist-in-residence this week with a gallery showing.

    Finally, a feel-good note to round us out—local volunteer firefighters from just outside Tulsa are getting a well-deserved spotlight for their efforts helping neighbors during the recent severe storms. Their willingness to answer late-night calls and support the community is a true embodiment of the Tulsa spirit.

    This has been Tulsa Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • Tulsa Updates: Council Approves PAC Renovation, Mental Health Focus, and Stormy Saturday Ahead
    2025/04/19
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Saturday, April 19th, 2025.

    We start with breaking news out of Washington. The Supreme Court has temporarily blocked new deportations of Venezuelans held in northern Texas, but this doesn’t directly affect most of us in Tulsa, though our local immigrants and advocates are watching closely for any ripple effects.

    Back here at home, our city council has been busy. Just two nights ago, the council approved an almost eighty million dollar renovation to the Tulsa Performing Arts Center, a beloved Main Street landmark. Over the next few years, we’ll see a stunning new glass entryway, more restrooms, a full-service restaurant and bar, plus a new coffee shop and expanded performance spaces. While construction is underway, expect to see a pop-up venue right across the street so the show can go on. That’s a major investment in downtown and a boost for jobs in construction and hospitality.

    Speaking of city government, the council is also focusing on mental health. Next week council members will tour several local providers, like Family and Children’s Services, Grand Mental Health, and Parkside Hospital. With state funding in question and contracts recently canceled, our leaders are working to better understand what’s at stake for crisis services, especially care for kids and teens.

    On the planning side, the Metropolitan Area Planning Commission has just held public hearings about possible changes to land use along Highway 75, which could affect future development in both North and South Tulsa County. As always, residents can chime in with feedback by contacting the city planning office.

    Turning to the weather, after a series of wet days, we’re facing a soggy and stormy Saturday. If you have outdoor plans, keep an umbrella handy and be prepared for possible thunder. Temperatures will hover in the low seventies, and this pattern could continue into Sunday, so keep an eye on event cancellations or delays.

    Let’s take a look at what’s happening around town. The Tulsa Oilers hockey team has secured their future at the BOK Center with a lease extension through 2030, so you can count on catching games downtown for years to come. Soccer fans will want to catch FC Tulsa as they head to Las Vegas tonight for a key matchup against the Lights FC. On the high school front, congratulations to Booker T. Washington’s track team, who set two new regional records at last night’s meet.

    On the business scene, local shops and restaurants are bracing for the busy spring season. While we haven’t seen major closings this week, several small businesses have been sprucing up for warmer weather and the increased foot traffic near the Gathering Place and Cherry Street.

    In crime news, police responded to a handful of property crimes overnight, including a break-in near 21st and Harvard. No injuries reported, and officers made arrests in connection with the incident. Public safety remains a priority, and officials urge us to lock up cars and keep porch lights on.

    For community spirit, a quick feel-good story: Volunteers from Tulsa’s Lineman Appreciation group spent their Friday cleaning up debris in neighborhoods hit hardest by spring storms. Their efforts are a reminder of how we pull together when weather hits.

    That wraps up our Tulsa Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • Tulsa Local Pulse: Arrests, Weather, College Campus Upgrades, and Community Connections
    2025/04/17
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Thursday, April 17, 2025.

    We start our morning with breaking news that Tulsa Police have arrested two suspects after a shooting at the Buffalo Wild Wings left two people injured. This happened late yesterday near 71st and Memorial, and both victims are expected to recover. In another development, a Tulsa teen murder suspect was captured in Mexico and will be extradited back to face charges for a February shooting, bringing some reassurance to the community after months of investigation. And just outside Tulsa, police in Owasso have recovered a stolen truck and have a suspect in custody after a search that stretched overnight.

    Turning to city life, the weather is shaping up to be a big story today. We expect highs in the low eighties, a bit cooler than yesterday’s record warmth. There’s a light breeze, with mostly sunny conditions, making it perfect for getting outdoors. Keep an umbrella handy for the weekend though, as a chance of storms appears by Saturday.

    Over at city hall, the Tulsa Community College Board of Regents meets this morning, with their big agenda item being the approval of nearly two hundred thousand dollars for modernization work at the Southeast Campus. This means safer and more reliable elevator service for students and faculty soon.

    In real estate, one of the largest downtown residential projects in recent history—the Western Supply community at 424 North Boulder Avenue—is halfway complete. This seven-story, three hundred and twenty unit complex is aimed at Tulsa's growing hybrid and remote workforce and will include affordable housing for residents earning between sixty and one hundred twenty percent of the area median income. With fifty units already getting interior upgrades, this is a big step toward making downtown living more accessible and lively for all.

    On the job front, Tulsa’s employment scene looks cautiously optimistic. Union Public Schools has managed to restore several bus routes after making steady progress with their driver shortage, easing concerns for families. Kitchen 66 is also opening applications for their 2025 Summer Launch, which helps local food entrepreneurs get their businesses off the ground—a sign our small business spirit is alive and well.

    Looking ahead, don’t miss the free outdoor screening of Inside Out 2 tonight at Guthrie Green, perfect for a family picnic under the stars. And for the runners among us, today is the last day to register for the Rooster Days Run before the price goes up at midnight, so lace up those shoes if you want to join the fun next month. The 2 Hip Chicks Roadshow is also rolling into Tulsa Expo Square this weekend, offering everything from vintage décor to handmade crafts, which always draws a creative crowd.

    On a lighter note, the Cherokee Nation is marking the anniversary of the Wilma P. Mankiller and Charlie Soap Water Act by investing nearly twenty-four million dollars into community water projects, ensuring cleaner and safer access for thousands of families—a reminder of how our nations and neighborhoods are interconnected.

    That wraps up our pulse on Tulsa for today. This has been Tulsa Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
