  • "Tulsa Recap: Altercation, Weather, Housing Market, Community Events, Sports, and Feel-Good Story"

    "Tulsa Recap: Altercation, Weather, Housing Market, Community Events, Sports, and Feel-Good Story"
    Apr 4 2025
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Friday, April 4, 2025.

    We begin with breaking news from the Bradford Park Apartments on East 31st Street, where a violent altercation between two brothers escalated into a stabbing and shooting. Tulsa Police report that both men were hospitalized but are expected to recover. This is a developing story, and we’ll keep you updated as more details emerge.

    On a lighter note, the weather today is looking spring-like but breezy. Expect sunny skies with a high of 75 degrees, though gusty winds may reach up to 25 miles per hour. Keep that in mind if you’re planning to attend evening outdoor events, like the Tulsa Hurricane softball game against Charlotte at the Collins Family Softball Complex starting at 5 p.m.

    Real estate remains a hot topic in Tulsa, with the market showing steady but moderate growth. Median home prices have risen to just over $301,000, marking a 2.69% year-over-year increase. While inventory is up by about 16% compared to last year, competition remains fierce, so buyers should act quickly. Areas like Jenks and Broken Arrow are especially in demand, thanks to ongoing developments and infrastructure improvements.

    In community events, the Tulsa Regional Chamber will host its Legislative Briefing Breakfast this morning at 6110 South Yale Avenue. This event, focusing on tax reform, offers a chance to hear updates from state and local officials, including Senator Dave Rader and Representative Mark Lepak. Doors open at 7:30 a.m., so if you're interested, you might still have time to join.

    For music and entertainment fans, the Cain's Ballroom is hosting a highly anticipated concert tomorrow night featuring local favorite The Tulsa Playboys, bringing their signature Western swing to the stage. Meanwhile, the Tulsa Performing Arts Center continues its run of *Hamilton* this weekend, so grab tickets if you haven’t yet.

    Turning to education and sports, Union Public Schools celebrated the achievements of its student-athletes this week. Union Baseball swept Classen with two impressive wins, while Union Girls Tennis had another strong showing on the court. Looking ahead, the Union Girls Basketball team prepares for their trip to the Tampa Bay Christmas Invitational later this year.

    In employment news, a new initiative has been announced to address the teacher shortage in Tulsa. A partnership between local schools and community organizations is rolling out a fast-track certification program, making it easier for aspiring educators to join the workforce. This comes as job opportunities in healthcare, energy, and aerospace also continue to grow, reinforcing Tulsa’s expanding economy.

    On the cultural front, volunteers at the Tulsa Fire Museum are working hard on restoration efforts to preserve the city’s firefighting history. If you have time this weekend, consider stopping by to support their efforts and learn about our rich local heritage.

    Finally, a feel-good story to end our roundup. A Tulsa man, who recently restored a family memorial bench that had fallen into disrepair, has inspired his neighbors to share their own family stories and artifacts. Community members are now collaborating to create a small park exhibit to showcase these heartfelt memories, proving once again the strength of Tulsa’s community spirit.

    This has been Tulsa Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates. Stay safe, and have a great day!

    Tulsa Tornado Damage, Walmart Shooting, and Teacher Shortage Solutions | Tulsa Local Pulse
    Apr 3 2025
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Thursday, April 3, 2025.

    We begin with breaking news from South Tulsa. Late Tuesday night, a shooting at a Walmart near 81st Street and Lewis Avenue led to a chaotic scene. Police say two suspects attempted a robbery in the store and fired shots at a civilian. An off-duty sheriff's deputy working security intervened, exchanging fire with the suspects. One suspect was injured, and both were later apprehended. Thankfully, no other injuries have been reported. This incident has raised ongoing concerns about safety in local shopping areas, with residents calling for heightened security measures.

    In weather news, Green Country is cleaning up after two confirmed tornadoes touched down early Wednesday morning, causing significant damage, especially in Owasso. Residents are recounting close calls as fences, roofs, and trees took the brunt of the storms. Emergency crews are continuing their efforts to restore power and clear debris. For today, expect cloudy skies with a high near 69 degrees and the potential for light rain, so keep an umbrella handy if you're headed out.

    Moving to city updates, starting today, West 5th Street between South Cheyenne Avenue and South Boulder Avenue will close for construction. This project will improve drainage in the area near the BOK Center and is expected to last through mid-May. Be prepared for detours when navigating downtown.

    In the job market, Tulsa Public Schools is launching a program aimed at addressing the teacher shortage, offering alternative certification pathways for aspiring educators. With over 5,000 staff already employed, this initiative underscores the district’s commitment to quality education.

    Turning to sports, congratulations to Union High School for a stellar week! The boys’ soccer team is bringing home the Smoky Mountain Cup after their championship win, and the girls’ 4x400 relay team set a new school record. Meanwhile, Tulsa University is celebrating academic success, with over 200 student-athletes receiving American Athletic Conference honors. Go Golden Hurricane!

    In real estate, local agents report that housing demand remains high, with median home prices now hovering around $240,000. Buyers are encouraged to act quickly in this competitive market.

    For music fans, Cross Canadian Ragweed has sold out their upcoming performances. Though they’re in Stillwater, many Tulsa residents are planning to make the trip. Closer to home, the Tulsa Zoo is hosting its 55th annual ZooRun this Saturday, featuring a revamped course. Whether you’re running or cheering, it’s a great family event.

    For a feel-good story, Mannford Public Schools, affected by recent wildfires, received a donation of books and supplies to help students recover and get back to learning. Their resilience is a reminder of the strength found in community.

    Finally, our crime report includes a safety update from Jenks, where police resolved an hours-long standoff overnight near 71st Street and Elmwood Avenue. The suspect was taken into custody without incident. We also remind you to stay alert for severe weather warnings, as April’s unpredictable storms continue.

    That’s all for today. This has been Tulsa Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates. Stay safe and have a great day!

    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Tuesday, April 1, 2025.

    We're starting off with some breaking news from overnight. Tulsa police are investigating a homicide near Pine Street and Lewis Avenue. A man was shot just before midnight and later died at the hospital. Two individuals have been detained for questioning. If you have any information, please contact Crime Stoppers.

    In city hall news, today's the day Tulsans head to the polls for several important local elections. The City of Claremore is asking voters to approve a 1% sales tax increase for infrastructure improvements. Meanwhile, several school districts have bond proposals on the ballot, including Nowata's $17 million package for building repairs and new buses.

    Speaking of schools, congratulations to the Union High School girls tennis team, who brought home six medals from yesterday's tournament. Way to go, ladies!

    In business news, we're excited to share that a new art exhibition is opening this week at the Tulsa Artists Coalition. Local artist Mery McNett's "Flowers Shall Grow" explores themes of grief and spiritual transformation through multimedia pieces. The exhibit runs from April 4 to 26 at 9 East Reconciliation Way.

    Looking at today's weather, we're in for a beautiful spring day with highs around 72 degrees and partly cloudy skies. Perfect weather for getting out to vote or enjoying some outdoor activities.

    In sports, the Rice Owls men's basketball team defeated our Tulsa Golden Hurricane 70-64 in their last matchup. However, our track and field athletes shined at the recent ORU Invitational, bringing home six first-place finishes.

    On a heartwarming note, we want to highlight a Tulsa man who's working to restore his family's memorial bench on the Katy Trail. The bench, which mysteriously vanished, holds special meaning for the family, and he's determined to keep the memory of his loved ones alive.

    For job seekers, we've noticed an uptick in healthcare and technology positions around town. The Tulsa Job Fair is coming up next week at the Cox Business Center, so mark your calendars if you're in the market for new opportunities.

    In real estate, the average home price in Tulsa has risen to about $225,000, up 5% from this time last year. New developments are popping up in the Broken Arrow area, with several townhome communities breaking ground this month.

    Looking ahead to tomorrow, don't forget about the free community yoga class at Guthrie Green at 6 PM. It's a great way to unwind and connect with fellow Tulsans.
