  • Tulsa Local Pulse: Government Shutdown Fears, Weather Update, Housing Crisis, and Community Events

    Tulsa Local Pulse: Government Shutdown Fears, Weather Update, Housing Crisis, and Community Events
    2025/09/14
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Sunday, September 14, 2025.

    We start today with breaking news from downtown. As Congress races toward a September 30 deadline, uncertainty lingers about a possible government shutdown. With only a handful of working days left—thanks to a recess for the Jewish holidays—Oklahoma’s delegation, including Congressman Tom Cole, is on edge as negotiations continue. If funding runs out, many of our federal services could see delays, affecting everything from Social Security offices on South Lewis to VA support near the Hillcrest corridor.

    This week’s local weather looks more pleasant. After a few muggy and rainy evenings, we wake up to clear skies. Temperatures will hover in the upper 70s all day. That’s perfect for outdoor gatherings, but we should keep an eye out for brief gusts later this afternoon, especially if you have tickets to Drillers Park.

    On the housing front, Tulsa families continue to feel the squeeze. Newly released census data places Oklahoma as the eighth poorest state in the country, with about one in seven residents living at or below the poverty line. Rents on Riverside and downtown keep climbing, and zoning rules currently make it tough for builders to add apartment complexes, with 81 percent of Tulsa’s residential land dedicated to single-family homes. Advocates say expanding affordable housing options would make a real difference, especially as evictions and shelter shortfalls place pressure on struggling neighbors.

    At city hall, the big conversation centers on public safety. Following a recent order from Governor Stitt, Tulsa police and the Highway Patrol have stepped up sweeps of homeless encampments near the I-244 corridor and Admiral Place. While the initiative promises shelter or support, local service groups insist there aren’t enough beds or facilities, leaving many with few options and raising concerns among business owners along Cherry Street and Yale Avenue.

    Tulsa’s job market shows steady improvement, although the poverty rate still impacts working families. Major employers near the Tulsa Tech campus and along 61st Street are actively hiring for food service, security, and healthcare roles, with about 180 positions posted this week.

    In sports, we watched Tulsa’s Golden Hurricane come out strong on Saturday night at Chapman Stadium but ultimately drop their American Conference opener to Navy, 42-23. Quarterback Baylor Hayes threw for 189 yards and two scores. Defensive standout Elijah Green grabbed two interceptions. Our next game takes us to Stillwater’s Boone Pickens Stadium on Friday the 19th. Meanwhile, the Tulsa Drillers hosted the Arkansas Travelers last night, drawing impressive crowds to ONEOK Field even as playoffs approach.

    On the crime report, the past 24 hours have seen increased patrols along Peoria and 11th Street with three arrests linked to car thefts. Police urge us to keep vehicles locked and valuables out of sight.

    Community events brighten the week: The Gathering Place hosts a free jazz in the park tonight, and Woodward Park brings back its autumn flower show. Our local schools, including Booker T. Washington High, celebrated two students winning state science fair awards, another point of pride for educators.

    Before we wrap, here’s a feel-good moment. Neighbors in Maple Ridge raised $3,000 for flood victims in last week’s round of storms, organizing a block party that united families and local businesses in support.

  • Tulsa Graffiti Cleanup, New Jobs, and Community Coming Together in Tough Times - Local Pulse Saturday Update

    Tulsa Graffiti Cleanup, New Jobs, and Community Coming Together in Tough Times - Local Pulse Saturday Update
    2025/09/13
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Saturday, September 13. We’ve got plenty to cover, so let’s start with breaking news out of downtown. Tulsa’s new graffiti cleanup program is ramping up efforts to keep our city looking sharp. Thanks to a $250,000 federal grant, crews have already cleaned over 40 properties, with more than 100 still waiting their turn. City hall just allocated even more funds to fight graffiti—an extra hundred thousand dollars for next year, and contractors are equipped with new paint-matching trailers and more staff. Mayor Monroe Nichols says this is more than wall cleaning—it’s restoring pride and making folks want to invest and live right here in Tulsa.

    On the weather front, skies are partly cloudy as we wake up, with a high near 84 expected today. Afternoon outdoor plans look solid, but keep an umbrella handy as scattered showers may move in around sunset. We’re watching a warm pattern with possible storms Sunday, so take advantage of today’s sun if you can.

    For those following job numbers, Tulsa’s unemployment rate has ticked down slightly again, now sitting just below 4 percent. Local manufacturing firms along Admiral Place and Memorial Drive have reported hiring dozens for new shifts, and we’re seeing restaurant openings in the Cherry Street and Brookside districts. Speaking of new business, a specialty bakery just opened near Utica Square, drawing crowds for its gluten-free selections. Over in East Tulsa, a long-time thrift store on 21st Street is closing after 30 years, making way for a new sporting goods retailer—which plans to hire at least 15 staff.

    Looking ahead to community events, we’re hosting the 2025 USA Boxing National Open tournament all week at the Cox Business Convention Center downtown. You can watch some of the best amateur fighters in the nation throw down through next Friday. Schools across the city report big news as well. Glenpool’s fourth-grade football team is rallying after tragedy struck their community—a deadly accident earlier in the week claimed young Talyn Bain. The team’s home game today at 151st and Warrior isn’t just about football, it’s a show of support, with rival Kiefer’s school joining in solidarity by wearing Glenpool blue. Volunteers have raised thousands for the Bain family, reminding us how our communities rally in times of need.

    Tulsa Golden Hurricane football fans, we’ve got a big night ahead as Navy comes to Skelly Field. The odds makers favor Navy, but Tulsa’s determined to bounce back after last week's loss. Kickoff is at 7 p.m., so expect traffic backups around University Avenue and the stadium.

    Not to be outdone by football, the University of Tulsa’s women’s basketball team has scored an invite to the Baha Mar Hoops Nassau Championship this fall. After finishing strong in last season’s conference games, they’re fired up for international competition. Good luck to the Golden Hurricane ladies.

    On the real estate front, the average price for a home along Riverside has inched up again, now averaging just over three hundred twenty thousand dollars. Realtors say demand is steady, especially for homes with walkable access to Gathering Place and downtown.

    In city government news, there’s talk about the recent agreement affecting native citizens and traffic tickets, as the city transitions certain cases to tribal courts, aiming for more fair handling across jurisdictions.

    Now, for today’s crime report, Tulsa police have continued their crackdown on illegal graffiti, tying their cleanup efforts into broader public safety measures. No major violent incidents reported overnight, though authorities remain vigilant along Peoria and 11th Street after a rash of car break-ins early in the week. County officials address heated debate after a Tulsa public defender drew fire for a social media post related to controversial national events. Local leaders stressed respect and zero tolerance for political violence.

    Before we wrap, let’s share a feel-good story. Across Glenpool, neighbors gathered blankets, groceries, and even dog food for the Bain family this week. Hundreds of volunteers printed shirts and raised money, setting aside differences and standing together for one family in their time of need. That’s Tulsa—heart and unity in action.

  • Tulsa Local Pulse: Gunfire, City Progress, Art, Sports, Weather, and New Citizens

    Tulsa Local Pulse: Gunfire, City Progress, Art, Sports, Weather, and New Citizens
    2025/09/12
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Friday, September 12, 2025.

    Let’s start with the breaking news from overnight in southwest Tulsa, where police are investigating a shooting that left eight vehicles damaged near Parkview Terrace Apartments on Santa Fe. Officers on patrol heard gunfire and responded to find a crowd and up to a hundred shell casings scattered around. Witnesses saw several teenage boys firing guns. No injuries, but property damage is significant. The Crime Gun Unit is working to identify those involved and urges anyone with information to contact Tulsa Crime Stoppers. This kind of incident reminds us why the city’s new safety programs are so important.

    That brings us to City Hall, where Tulsa leaders just unveiled the fiscal year annual report and new initiatives for downtown. Over the past year, $800 million in active projects have helped fuel road improvements and housing. The “Safer Together” initiative is boosting public safety and tackling homelessness. The mayor reported impressive progress: thousands of outreach contacts and services, hundreds of thousands of pounds of trash collected, with graffiti and biohazard cleanups on the rise. There’s a push to cut housing wait times from two hundred days down to just forty-five, aiming for a “functional zero” homelessness rate.

    Downtown, we’re also seeing a big push to clean up the city. A fresh, $250,000 graffiti removal program has already scrubbed more than forty properties and identified another hundred needing attention. Crews are working closely with code enforcement and police, and the Downtown Tulsa Partnership is encouraging legal murals so creativity isn’t lost when illegal tagging is removed. Residents can report graffiti directly to help keep the city looking good and safe.

    On the cultural front, today at Living Arts of Tulsa, two exhibitions, “State of the Union” by Valentin Esparza and “Dinkum Hokum” by Austin Gober, invite us to reflect and enjoy visual art through the afternoon. And don’t miss the Greek Street heritage sign ceremony at 2 p.m. on Guthrie Avenue. Tulsa is honoring its Greek American community, celebrating a century of history in the Riverview School area. The new city sign program for heritage districts aims to boost pride and visibility for neighborhoods and visitors alike.

    Sports fans, Tulsa Hurricane Volleyball is on a roll, fresh off four straight wins. The team travels to Texas State Invitational tonight with a match at six p.m., hoping to extend their hot streak. Local high school athletics also reported strong performances this week, including Edison Prep’s soccer team advancing in regional play.

    For today’s weather, we’re in for sunny skies with afternoon highs in the mid-eighties. Breezes from the south might pick up, so outdoor events like Food Truck Friday at Guthrie Green should be comfortable. Looking ahead, mild evenings make it perfect for those weekend porch gatherings or concerts at River Parks.

    In local business, we heard about new shops opening in Cherry Street and Oil Capital Innovation District, while one longtime bookstore off Peoria is closing after thirty years, citing rising rents. Job market numbers from the Chamber show steady hiring, with about 500 job postings citywide, strongest in healthcare, logistics, and technology.

    Let’s pause for a feel-good moment. Yesterday at City Hall, Tulsa marked its fiftieth naturalization ceremony, welcoming twenty new citizens from fourteen countries. Mayor Monroe Nichols addressed the group, emphasizing the value of community and civic participation. New citizens also received voting resources and info on connecting with city services.
