 Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Friday, November 21, 2025.

It is a crisp start across Green Country as we head into a cool and cloudy Friday, with highs expected around 52 and a chance of light rain this afternoon. The weekend looks much the same, so if you are headed out, you might want to bring a jacket and be ready for scattered showers, especially on Saturday.

Turning to City Hall, Mayor Monroe Nichols addressed local business leaders at his first State of the City speech, setting an ambitious vision for Tulsa’s future. He celebrated $1.7 billion in new capital investments, including the Stevenson Cancer Center, a new veterans hospital, and two level one trauma centers. Mayor Nichols shared the positive news that Tulsa has seen an 18 percent reduction in the growth of homelessness this year. A new winter shelter just opened this week, and a vote is scheduled soon on our city’s first low-barrier shelter, which would help those most in need get off the streets as colder weather approaches. The city’s goal is six thousand new affordable homes by 2028, aiming to use a one hundred twenty million dollar housing impact fund to bring new life to existing neighborhoods and fill vacant houses across the city.

Public safety continues to be a top priority. Crime is reportedly down this year. Operation Ceasefire, a recent citywide initiative, led to eighty-eight felony arrests and more than 160 illegal guns taken off Tulsa’s streets. For the first time in years, our 911 center is fully staffed, and graduating new police and fire classes ensure we have eyes and boots on the ground in every neighborhood.

Let’s talk sports. The Tulsa Golden Hurricane men’s basketball team is back home tonight at the Reynolds Center, hosting Austin Peay at 7 pm. Tulsa is coming off a dramatic, one-point loss at Kansas State, with Miles Barnstable putting in an impressive eighteen points and nine rebounds. Single-game tickets start at fifteen dollars, so it’s a great night to cheer on our home team. Across town, Tulsa schools report strong fall sports finishes, with Booker T. Washington’s girls volleyball making the state semifinals and Edison Prep’s cross country team placing three runners in the top ten statewide.

On the housing market, realtors note home sales are steady. The median home price this week is just under two hundred and ten thousand dollars, down slightly from this time last year. Job postings are up, particularly in healthcare and manufacturing, with about sixteen hundred open positions citywide according to Tulsa Community College workforce reports.

Businesses along Route 66 are gearing up for the season, with the highly anticipated grand opening of the renovated Warehouse Market on East 11th Street happening this weekend. Light displays are popping up near Gathering Place and Woodward Park, so it’s a perfect time for a family stroll after dark. Don’t forget, the Greenwood Cultural Center is hosting a Thanksgiving food drive tomorrow from ten until two, inviting all Tulsa families to join in.

In public safety news, police report a relatively quiet Thursday, with an arrest made in a downtown car burglary near Archer and Main just after midnight. Officers also responded to a non-injury traffic crash on South Yale near 41st Street during the early morning commute. No major incidents or public safety alerts have been issued at this time.

Let’s end on a feel-good note. This week, students at Emerson Elementary delivered care packages to the local VA hospital. The drive, organized entirely by the school’s fourth graders, brought together dozens of families and provided everything from warm socks to handwritten cards for our Tulsa veterans.
