Holiday Events, Job Market, and Community News - Charlotte Local Pulse for November 23, 2024

  • Résumé

  • Good morning, this is Charlotte Local Pulse for Saturday, November 23, 2024.

    We're starting off with a chilly weekend, perfect for getting into the holiday spirit. If you're looking for something to do today, there are plenty of events happening around the city. The 96th Concord Christmas Parade is taking place at 2:30 p.m. in downtown Concord, and the Uptown Farmer's Market is open from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the 7th Street Public Market. For those who love ice skating, the Whitewater Center is now open with over 24,000 square feet of unique skating space.

    In local news, there haven't been any major breaking developments in the past few days, but we do have some updates from city hall. The city is gearing up for the holiday season with various events and activities planned throughout the month.

    Moving on to the job market, we don't have any major hiring announcements to report today, but we do see a steady stream of new job postings from top local employers. The current unemployment rate remains stable, with no significant changes reported recently.

    In real estate, there have been some notable commercial property sales in the past week, including a major office building in the SouthPark area. New development projects are also underway, with construction updates on several residential complexes in the NoDa neighborhood. The weekly median home price is around $340,000, with inventory levels remaining relatively low.

    The weather today is expected to be chilly, with temperatures in the mid-40s. This might impact some of the outdoor events planned for today, so be sure to bundle up if you're heading out.

    In new business activity, we have a few openings to report. A new coffee shop is opening on Elizabeth Avenue, and a popular restaurant is expanding its location in the Plaza Midwood area.

    Looking ahead to the next few days, there are plenty of community events to check out. The Southern Christmas Show is happening at the Park Expo and Conference Center until November 24, and Carowinds Winterfest is now open, featuring amusement park rides, live entertainment, and holiday cheer.

    In local school achievements, we have some exciting news from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district. Several schools have been recognized for their academic excellence, and we congratulate them on their hard work.

    In sports, the Carolina Panthers are facing off against the Kansas City Chiefs at Bank of America Stadium on Sunday, with kickoff at 1 p.m.

    For our feel-good community story, we want to highlight the efforts of a local non-profit organization that has been working to provide holiday meals to families in need. Their dedication to the community is truly inspiring.

    Finally, in today's crime report, we have a few incidents to report from the past 24 hours. There was a robbery reported in the SouthPark area, and police are investigating a break-in in the NoDa neighborhood. We urge everyone to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.

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