Tulsa Local Pulse

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Saturday, June twentieth, twenty twenty six. We wake up to a calm morning across Tulsa. According to News On 6 and the Weather Network, we stay warm and mostly sunny today, with highs in the mid 80s and just a slight chance of an isolated shower later. Travel forecasters at Florida Weather Center say our region is mostly clear with only a small chance of a quick storm, so outdoor plans at Gathering Place, along Riverside Drive, or in our neighborhood parks look good. Tonight stays mild and comfortable, and the next couple of days keep that typical June pattern, warm afternoons and muggy nights. From City Hall, we continue to see attention on budget priorities and street work. Crews are busy along Peoria, Yale, and parts of Admiral, so we plan a little extra time for lane closures and watch for workers. In breaking public safety news, News On 6 reports Tulsa Police are investigating a robbery and shooting from the past day, reminding us to stay aware, especially around busy commercial corridors. Fox 23 and News On 6 also mention a high profile standoff in Claremore ending in an arrest, showing how quickly situations can change but also how regional agencies coordinate. So far this morning, there are no new major threats reported here in the city, but we keep an ear out for updated alerts from Tulsa Police. On the good news side, Team Oklahoma’s Special Olympics sendoff, highlighted by News On 6, includes athletes from around Green Country, including Tulsa schools, heading out with big community support. Our local high school athletes continue summer workouts, and youth baseball and softball leagues are taking over fields from LaFortune to Mohawk Park. In pro sports, FC Tulsa picks up a solid home win at ONEOK Field, two to nothing over Monterey Bay, as reported by Our Sports Central. That puts our club firmly in the playoff hunt and keeps downtown buzzing on match nights. Culturally, we are heading into a busy weekend. Deep Greenwood Ignited, highlighted by FOX 25, is bringing powerful performances that go beyond the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre and into stories of resilience and creativity in the Greenwood District. Bricktown Comedy Club near downtown hosts Kennedy: Enemies of Freedom tonight, giving us a lighter option if we want a laugh. On the business front, Legacy Plaza notes that the Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits in Tulsa is back open after its Juneteenth closure, a reminder that many offices are now fully into summer schedules. Across the metro, job postings hold strong, especially in health care, logistics, and skilled trades, with roughly several thousand openings in the broader Tulsa area, which means opportunities for those looking to make a change. Real estate agents report that median home prices hover in the mid 200 thousands, with homes near Brookside, midtown, and south Tulsa still moving quickly. Renters are seeing modest increases but also more inventory in newer complexes near Highway 169 and along the Broken Arrow Expressway. For a feel good story, volunteers continue to work in Greenwood and along Route 66, cleaning streets, painting murals, and preparing for summer festivals, showing how neighbors step up to keep Tulsa looking its best.

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Sunday, June fourteenth, twenty twenty six. We wake up today after a stormy night across Green Country. KFOR and local meteorologists report that the strongest storms push through the Tulsa area overnight with gusty winds, lightning, and pockets of heavy rain, but the worst severe weather stays mostly west of us. As we get into the day, the National Weather Service says we cool down a bit, with highs in the mid seventies, mostly cloudy skies, a light north breeze around ten to fifteen, and only a small chance of a lingering shower. That cooler air should make outdoor plans around the River Parks trails, Guthrie Green, and LaFortune Park more comfortable, and we watch for a warmer, more typical June pattern returning early this week. From city hall, we continue to track budget talks and infrastructure work that affect our daily commutes. Tulsa leaders keep emphasizing street repair on key corridors like Peoria, 11th Street along Route 66, and Yale, and we see ongoing lane closures, so we give ourselves a few extra minutes this morning. The city also keeps pushing housing and homelessness initiatives downtown and near 71st and Highway 169, aiming to connect more people with services and make our public spaces feel safer and cleaner. On the community side, Tulsa Juneteenth celebrations take center stage in the Greenwood District today. Organizers on the Tulsa Juneteenth Festival pages invite us to the Melanin Market along Greenwood Avenue, encouraging us to support local Black owned businesses, enjoy live music, and celebrate culture just north of downtown. Over at Expo Square, the Pinto World Championship continues at the Tulsa Fairgrounds, bringing in riders, horses, and visitors from across the country, which is a nice boost for our hotels and restaurants along Yale and 21st. In education and wellness, Tulsa Community College kicks off its Wellness World Cup Bingo program today, running through late July, encouraging students and staff to stay active this summer with a bit of soccer themed fun. In sports, the Tulsa Oilers indoor football team delivers some excitement at the BOK Center. OurSportsCentral reports a dramatic walk off win over the Orlando Pirates, giving fans in downtown Tulsa a big finish and keeping playoff hopes alive. On the jobs and housing front, local recruiters note steady hiring in health care, aerospace, and energy, with hundreds of openings in and around Tulsa, especially near the hospitals along 21st Street and the office parks at 71st and Lewis. Real estate agents say listings stay tight but steady, with typical home prices in the metro sitting in the mid two hundreds, and competition still strongest in midtown and South Tulsa. For crime and safety, overnight storm related calls for downed limbs and power flickers outnumber major incidents. Tulsa Police do not report any widespread threats to the public in the past twenty four hours, though they continue regular patrols around downtown, 61st and Peoria, and major shopping areas. We stay alert, lock our cars, and keep porch lights on, but we can move through our Sunday without any new major safety alerts. For a feel good note, volunteers and church groups across North Tulsa and East Tulsa spend the weekend helping neighbors clear branches and debris after storms, showing once again how quickly our community shows up for one another.

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Saturday, June thirteenth, twenty twenty six. We wake up today with warm, muggy air over Tulsa. KJRH meteorologists say we are heading for the low to mid nineties this afternoon, with partly cloudy skies and only a slight chance of a stray shower. Overnight lows sit in the upper sixties, so we stay warm even after sunset. That heat will matter if we are out at events or working outside, so we hydrate and take breaks in the shade. From City Hall, we are watching ongoing budget talks that shape what we see on our streets. Councilors are focusing on public safety staffing, road repairs along corridors like Peoria and 11th Street, and funding for bus service through MetroLink. MetroLink reminds us that adult day passes are about four dollars and youth ride free with ID, so many of us can leave the car at home and save a little on gas. In business news, we continue to see churn in our shopping corridors. Local realtors on social media report steady demand in midtown neighborhoods around Riverside Drive and Brookside, with median home prices hovering in the mid two hundreds. That keeps pressure on renters but also signals confidence in our local job market, especially around health care, energy services, and logistics near Highway 169 and the airport. For culture and events, Tulsa has a full slate today. The Tulsa Events calendar shows comedy tonight at Bricktown Comedy Club downtown, Tulsa Oilers indoor football at the BOK Center just off Denver Avenue, and live music with Kat Hasty at Cain’s Ballroom on Main. Over at Gilcrease, the special Declaration of Independence viewing for America at 250 is sold out today, but it is a reminder of how strong our arts and history scene is. Families looking for something light can check out the Taste of Summer ice cream festival promoted by local Tulsa realtors, running late morning to midafternoon and giving us a sweet way to beat the heat. Christ Church on Harvard hosts a men’s breakfast this morning, another example of how our faith communities create space for connection. On the sports front, FC Tulsa hits the road to face Charleston Battery tonight in USL Championship play, with kickoff in the evening and streaming on ESPN Plus. We will be watching to see if our boys in black and gold can bring home points. On crime, Tulsa police report a fairly routine last twenty four hours, with no citywide emergencies. Officers still respond to a handful of overnight burglaries and domestic calls, especially along major corridors like Admiral and Garnett. We stay aware, lock vehicles, and look out for neighbors, but there are no broad public safety alerts this morning. For a feel good note, volunteers across the city are gearing up for weekend cleanups in parks along the Arkansas River and near Gathering Place, quietly picking up trash and planting flowers so all of us can enjoy cleaner trails and playgrounds.

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Friday, June 12, 2026. We start today with weather, because it shapes everything we do. Local forecasters and News 9 meteorologists say we stay hot and muggy, with highs in the low to mid 90s and heat index values pushing closer to triple digits by midafternoon. Storm trackers like Davion Huggins warn that another round of strong to severe storms could fire up late today and into tonight, mainly along and east of Highway 75, with damaging winds and large hail the main concerns. That means we keep an eye on the sky if we have evening plans around downtown, Cherry Street, or out by Woodland Hills. From City Hall, we are watching budget talks that could shift how our streets get fixed and how often our trash and recycling are picked up. Council members are weighing more money for arterial street repairs, especially along Peoria, 11th Street, and stretches near Riverside, and discussing modest increases in utility fees to cover rising costs. The tone is cautious, but the focus is on core services we feel every day. On the jobs front, local workforce boards report that Tulsa’s unemployment rate is hovering around three percent, near what economists call full employment, with health care, aerospace, and logistics adding dozens of positions this month. Major employers near the airport and along Highway 169 are posting openings in maintenance, nursing support, and warehouse roles, mostly in the 18 to 25 dollars an hour range. In real estate, local agents say the median home price in the Tulsa metro sits near two hundred fifty thousand dollars, with homes around midtown and South Tulsa still moving quickly if they are priced right and updated. We are seeing more listings hit the market than earlier in the spring, giving buyers a bit more breathing room, especially around Brookside and near TU. For culture and events, Tulsa Flyer highlights a busy weekend. Tonight at Guthrie Green, William Beckmann brings a free country show under the lights, with Tulsa’s Jacob Tovar opening. Over at the Tulsa Zoo, Zoo Nights on the Rocks returns as a 21 and over, after hours event with live music and a masquerade theme. And if we feel like a short drive, Broken Arrow hosts the Taste of Summer ice cream festival at Central Park on Saturday, with all you can eat Blue Bell and a splash zone for the kids. Tech fans can swing by Gradient, the innovation hub on North Cheyenne, for the Google I O 2026 recap watch party and live Gemini demo this evening. Our schools continue to shine. Tulsa Community College just celebrated more than one thousand three hundred graduation applicants at the BOK Center, sending new nurses, technicians, and future teachers into our local workforce. In sports, the Drillers are in the middle of a home stand at ONEOK Field, and ticket sales staff say crowds have been strong with this early summer stretch, especially on fireworks nights. On public safety, Tulsa Police report several stolen vehicle recoveries overnight near 11th and Garnett and a burglary investigation in a retail strip off Memorial. Officers emphasize locking vehicles, bringing valuables inside, and calling in suspicious activity as they add extra patrols around high traffic shopping areas. For a feel good note, volunteers on the north side have been working along Peoria near Rudisill to clean lots, repaint benches, and stock a free community pantry, all funded by small donations from neighbors and local businesses. It is a reminder that our city moves forward when we look out for each other. Thanks for tuning in, and please remember to subscribe so we can keep bringing you our city’s daily story.

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Thursday, June 11, 2026. We wake up today watching the sky. KJRH and the National Weather Service in Norman are calling for a hot, humid day with highs in the low 90s, a heat index near 100, and a strong chance of afternoon and evening thunderstorms across Tulsa County. Some storms could bring heavy downpours and gusty winds, so we plan around that if we are driving home on the BA Expressway or grilling in the backyard. Tomorrow looks a bit cooler with more sun and lower rain chances, and the weekend trends warm but not quite as stormy. At City Hall, the big focus this week is on budget and basics. The mayor’s team is pushing ahead on street and water line improvements, with attention on corridors like Peoria, 11th Street, and around downtown where construction is already slowing traffic. That means more short term lane closures, but also smoother commutes and fewer water main breaks by the end of summer. Council discussions also continue around public safety staffing and housing incentives near the IDL. On the job front, local recruiters report steady hiring in health care, manufacturing, and logistics, especially along the Highway 169 and Port of Catoosa corridors. Starting wages for many entry level roles are landing in the mid to upper teens per hour, with experienced trades and nurses much higher. Tulsa Community College, which just celebrated more than 1,300 spring graduates at the BOK Center, is highlighting short term certification programs that feed directly into many of those jobs. Real estate agents around Midtown and south Tulsa say listings are still moving, just a little slower than last year. Typical single family homes near Brookside and around 71st and Memorial are getting offers within a few weeks, with prices holding close to recent highs but not spiking. For culture and music, we have plenty despite the storms. Songkick lists more than a hundred upcoming shows in the Tulsa area, and tonight includes rock and indie sets downtown and along Main Street. Down at the Jenks RiverWalk, the Summer Concert Series is getting underway with free evening shows on the amphitheater stage, a short drive down Riverside. Tulsa Botanic Garden is hosting evening bands and blooms events, giving us a chance to walk the grounds, listen to live music, and enjoy cooler air once the sun drops. Local theater is busy too, with campy productions like Little Shop of Horrors getting a Tulsa twist at venues such as Club Majestic. In sports, local high school summer leagues are in full swing, and youth baseball and softball tournaments are bringing teams into complexes around 61st and Union and LaFortune Park. We also keep one eye on the national scene, with the NBA Finals capturing attention in living rooms across Tulsa after that wild Knicks comeback reported overnight by NPR. On the education front, several Tulsa Public Schools campuses and area districts are running summer learning and enrichment programs this week, giving students extra support in reading, math, and STEM while keeping cafeterias open for meals. As for crime, Tulsa police report a typical midweek pattern, with property crimes and vehicle break ins still the big concern around apartment complexes and shopping areas. Officers are reminding us to lock cars, remove valuables, and keep porch lights on, especially in busy corridors like 21st, 31st, and 41st Streets. Any major overnight incidents are still under investigation, and we stay tuned to local outlets for updates as the day goes on. For a feel good note, Tulsa Service Year just welcomed its latest cohort of young fellows, recent grads who choose to live and work in our city for a year of service. They are spread across nonprofits and schools from north Tulsa to east Tulsa, bringing fresh energy and ideas to neighborhoods that need it most.

Councilor Laura Bellis led the push, citing concerns over noise and zoning fit near neighborhoods like those around Riverside Drive. This pause lets our planning office study impacts while Project Anthem phases one and two continue at their site off 71st Street. Nineteen speakers backed it, saying it protects our daily lives from unchecked growth. Shifting to education, we celebrate Rogers State University today at 1 p.m. with the presidential investiture of Dr. Don Raleigh at First Baptist Church Claremore, just a short drive from Tulsa. Its a milestone for our local college community. Weather-wise, mild temps in the low 60s greet us this morning with partly cloudy skies, perfect for outdoor plans around Gathering Place.

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Thursday, March 26. We start with breaking news from City Hall that affects us all. Yesterday, Tulsa City Council voted unanimously to pause new data center construction for nine months. This comes after a rally at Dream Keepers Park where folks voiced worries about water and power strains from these massive projects near East 11th Street and South 193rd Avenue in east Tulsa. It exempts ongoing work like Project Anthem and Project Clydesdale in north Tulsa, giving us time to review zoning rules that impact our daily resources. Shifting to our schools, Tulsa Public Schools announced cuts to about 90 positions—50 jobs and 42 vacancies—to tackle declining enrollment and budget squeezes.

This hits home as families plan for next year. On a brighter note in jobs, our market shows steady demand, with around 5,000 openings listed locally last week, many in healthcare and tech near Riverside Drive. Real estate stays hot, with median home prices hovering near $280,000, up 4 percent, drawing buyers to south Tulsa neighborhoods.

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Friday, March 20. We start with breaking developments from city hall that hit close to home. The rezoning decision for Project Anthem, a massive data center on over 300 acres between 11th and 21st Streets near the Creek Turnpike in east Tulsa, got delayed by two weeks until April 1. Tulsa Flyer reports planning staff recommended denial due to weak justifications, but the committee granted developers more time amid strong community pushback from residents like Bobby Ross, who worry about neighborhood changes, property values, and environmental hits. We will keep showing up to shape our east side. Shifting to new business buzz, a Community Systems Development Specialist job opened with the Oklahoma State Department of Health right here in Tulsa, paying around $43,000 to boost infant outcomes—great for our health pros eyeing stability.

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Thursday, March 19th. We're starting with a significant ruling out of federal court that affects tribal jurisdiction right here in our city. A federal judge has decided that Oklahoma cannot intervene in a settlement between the City of Tulsa and the Muscogee Nation. The case stems from a dispute over prosecuting tribal members for crimes committed on the reservation. Under the agreement reached last June, Tulsa is stepping back from prosecuting municipal cases involving Native American defendants, allowing the Muscogee Nation to handle that jurisdiction instead. The City of Tulsa clarified this doesn't mean they're giving up authority, just agreeing to defer to tribal sovereignty. Governor Kevin Stitt attempted to jump into the case, but the judge ruled he waited too long and that the city's interests already represented the state's position adequately. Moving to our civic improvements, Broken Arrow voters will head to the polls on April 7th to decide on a major investment package. The city is asking for approval of a 415 million dollar bond measure and a half-cent temporary sales tax increase to fund more than a hundred projects. The largest chunk, about 205 million dollars, would go toward transportation improvements like widening roads and repairing residential streets. Another 56 million would support fire services including new trucks and a fire station on the southeast side. Quality of life projects would receive 74 million, with nearly 50 million earmarked for Elam Park to build a community center and recreational facilities. City leaders say these bonds would actually keep property taxes flat since they'd replace retiring debt from previous initiatives. The temporary sales tax, if approved, would last five years and help fund upgrades at four sports complexes. Here in Tulsa proper, city leaders are recognizing the ongoing work to honor victims of the 1921 Race Massacre. Mayor has officially designated March 14th as Genealogy Day, reflecting the city's commitment to identifying victims and reconnecting families. This summer, genealogy workshops are coming June 18th through 20th, offering hands-on research help through partnership with the Greenwood Cultural Center. The city has also made progress at Oaklawn Cemetery, updating information on ten burial sites with new details discovered through DNA research. On the safety front, Tulsa police continue investigating several recent incidents. Officers arrested a man accused of driving a stolen truck after he attempted to hide in a backyard doghouse. Police also responded to a robbery at a local Dollar Tree store when a shoplifting incident escalated and a suspect threatened a clerk. Thank you for tuning in to Tulsa Local Pulse.

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Sunday, March 15. We kick off with sports where our Tulsa University softball team put up a strong fight yesterday in Denton, Texas, but fell 6 to 1 to North Texas after a late rally by the Mean Green. Amber Turner shone with four hits, including a double, and our Golden Hurricane wrap the series at noon today—lets cheer them on for that first conference win.

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Saturday, March 14. We kick off with breaking news from City Hall, where the Metropolitan Area Planning Commission is gearing up to discuss a year-long moratorium on data centers next week, sparked by opposition to the massive Project Anthem campus at East 11th Street and the Creek Turnpike. East Tulsa groups like the Indigenous Environmental Network held a town hall at Pancho Anaya Park last night, urging residents to voice concerns over water use and rising costs that hit our daily lives hard. This could reshape development in our neighborhoods. Shifting to public safety, Tulsa Police arrested a man yesterday linked to a string of vehicle burglaries across the city, using stolen credit cards and pawning goods, according to department reports. Theyre also spotlighting Flock Safety cameras, with over 100 deployed citywide, helping recover nearly 4 million in property since 2022, though some councilors raise privacy flags from last years protest investigations. Stay vigilant with your vehicles, especially near Riverside Drive. On sports, FC Tulsa hosts San Antonio FC tonight at 7 p.m. at ONEOK Field, our home opener after a strong conference title last season. And lace up for the 42nd St. Patricks Day Run this morning at RunnersWorld Tulsa on South Peoria Avenue, with proceeds supporting Special Olympics Oklahoma.

Outlook stays dry through Monday. New business buzz includes The First 48 wrapping production here after a decade with TPD. Job market shows steady openings around 5,000 listings locally, rounded up, focused on tech and healthcare. Real estate sees eastside homes averaging 280,000, up slightly amid data center talks.

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Friday, March 13th, 2026. We're starting this morning with some important developments happening at City Hall that could shape Tulsa's future. The city council is seriously considering a temporary pause on new data center approvals, potentially lasting anywhere from six months to a year. Council members want time to review zoning rules and infrastructure capacity as the industry moves at lightning speed. One major project called Project Anthem is already under construction near 11th Street and the Creek Turnpike, representing an 800 million dollar investment that's expected to bring about 50 permanent jobs paying around 65,000 dollars a year. The planning commission should release recommendations as early as next week, with a council vote on the moratorium possibly happening later this month. Speaking of city decisions, there's also an ongoing conversation about monuments in our public spaces. The Kitty Gang Family Foundation is asking the Parks and Recreation Board to create a formal review process for controversial statues and monuments. They're specifically focused on the Tulsa Association of Pioneers monument in Owen Park, which includes names of known KKK members. The city is developing its first Public Arts Master Plan to create a more comprehensive framework for how we handle these kinds of decisions going forward. On a lighter note, we've got plenty of weekend activities for folks looking to get out of the house. There's the OK So Tulsa Story Slam happening tonight at Living Arts at seven o'clock with a confessions theme. If theater is more your speed, the Pembroke Players are performing Shakespeare in Love tomorrow and Sunday. And if you're in the mood for some Cajun flavor, Cajun Boil Catering is taking over Kitchen 66 at Mother Road Market from eleven in the morning through seven thirty at night tomorrow, serving up crawfish, crab legs, and more. Now turning to sports, the University of Tulsa Softball team is heading to Denton this weekend to face North Texas in their first American Conference road games of the season. The Golden Hurricane are looking for their first conference win with games starting at six tonight on ESPN Plus. On the crime front, Tulsa police released body camera footage this week from a violent incident in the Blue Dome district last May that left one person dead and several injured. The footage shows officers confronting two armed suspects in what was a chaotic situation. Both officer shootings were later deemed justified. One suspect is expected to enter a plea in May.

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Thursday, March 12th. We're starting this morning with some significant developments happening around our city. Yesterday, tribal leaders from across Oklahoma gathered right here in Tulsa for the United Indian Nations of Oklahoma's first meeting of the year. They discussed some pressing issues affecting all of us, including concerns about illegal gambling operations that are cutting into tribal casino revenues, a major economic driver for many communities. Immigration enforcement impacts on tribal communities also came up during the discussion. A Republican candidate for governor was in attendance to hear directly from these important stakeholders. On the development front, our city council is taking a closer look at how we manage growth. Councilor Laura Bellis proposed a one-year moratorium on new data center projects within city limits, and the council heard that proposal yesterday. The goal is to give us time to study the impacts of these facilities on our neighborhoods, water supply, and electrical infrastructure. Currently, five major data centers operate in Tulsa, with about twenty-seven across the broader county. Bellis emphasized this isn't about being unfriendly to business, but rather ensuring we understand the long-term effects before we keep expanding these operations. The moratorium would pause new projects but wouldn't stop phase one of a facility already underway in east Tulsa. Speaking of housing and community investment, the city is moving forward with plans to deploy forty-seven million dollars toward affordable housing as part of our Improve Our Tulsa three initiative. City leaders are working with the Housing Partnership Network to figure out which neighborhoods should see these investments first. Community developers are hoping that north and west Tulsa get their fair share, and Mayor Monroe Nichols has set a goal of creating six thousand new affordable housing units by twenty twenty-eight. On the sports front, our Tulsa Golden Hurricane women's basketball team is heading to the American Conference Championship today right here in our region. The number-four seed takes on number-five North Texas at noon Central Time in Birmingham. The Golden Hurricane secured a double-bye into the quarterfinals after a strong regular season, and they're looking to make some noise in this tournament. We're also keeping an eye on the weather today. Severe storms rolled through parts of eastern Oklahoma recently, leaving damage in multiple counties. As always, stay alert to any weather alerts that might affect your plans throughout the week.

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Sunday, March 8. We kick off with exciting sports action from right here in our city, where the 2026 Big 12 Wrestling Championships wrapped up yesterday at the BOK Center. Oklahoma State dominated with titles from Casey Swiderski, Cam Steed, and Kaleb Larkin, sending eight wrestlers to the finals and punching tickets to the NCAAs. Coach David Taylor called it a strong showing after a 9-1 quarterfinal run, and fans packed the arena along Brady Street for the jungle ball energy. Shifting to community vibes, the Extraordinary Women conference drew huge crowds to the Mabee Center on Oral Roberts University campus over the weekend. Speakers like Kirk Cameron, Jennie Allen, and Riley Gaines inspired thousands on Friday and Saturday, with Anne Wilson closing in concert. We hear fewer than 400 tickets remain if you want in on future sessions. On the weather front, mild temps in the low 60s greet us today with partly cloudy skies and light winds off the Arkansas River, perfect for outdoor plans near Gathering Place. Expect the same tomorrow, no major disruptions. City Hall updates include smoother traffic flow decisions on Riverside Drive after recent council votes, easing your daily commutes. New business buzz: a fresh coffee spot opens tomorrow at 41st and Yale, while Drury Hotels expands with deals through mid-March. Crime report from the past day stays calm, with Tulsa Police noting one arrest near 71st and Sheridan for a minor theft, no widespread alerts. Looking ahead, Tulsa Oilers hit the road tonight against Allen Americans, and Connors State Cowboys play at NEO A&M's A&M Classic this week at ONEOK Field. Local schools shine too, with Connors State archery teams qualifying for state at their South Ranch. For a feel-good lift, volunteers rallied yesterday at LaFortune Park, planting over 200 trees to green our neighborhoods. Thanks for tuning in, listeners, and remember to subscribe for daily updates.

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Saturday, March 7, 2026. We wake up together today still taking stock after those severe storms and multiple tornadoes that hit our area last night. According to KTUL, several tornado warned storms swept through the metro, with confirmed tornadoes in Tulsa, near Collinsville, and Beggs, and widespread damage across north Tulsa, including a blown off roof at Tulsa Techs Peoria campus and power lines hanging low over streets. Crews are out along North Peoria, Admiral, and near Highway 169 clearing debris, so we give ourselves extra time on the roads and treat dark intersections like four way stops. The National Weather Service is surveying damage today, but for now we know many of our neighbors are cleaning up. Weather wise, we get a quieter day. Local forecasters call for cooler, breezy conditions with clearing skies by afternoon and only a low chance of a stray shower. That should help with damage assessment and neighborhood cleanups, and the rest of the weekend looks mainly dry before storm chances return early next week. At City Hall, Tulsa leaders are focused on storm response and infrastructure. Public Works is prioritizing downed trees and signals, and we can report issues through the citys 3 1 1 system. At the state level, the Tulsa Flyer reports lawmakers are debating cost of living bills, including proposals that could cap some insurance practices and protect utility customers from higher rates tied to data centers, changes that could hit our monthly bills in the next year or two. On public safety, the U S Attorneys Office for the Northern District of Oklahoma announces new federal indictments out of Tulsa, including drug conspiracy charges tied to meth distribution and fentanyl cases investigated by the DEA Tulsa Resident Office, along with a case alleging a drug involved residence here in the city. These are early legal steps, and all defendants remain presumed innocent, but they highlight ongoing efforts to address serious drug and exploitation crimes in our community. In the job market, major employers around downtown and the Yale corridor continue to post openings in health care, manufacturing, and logistics, with starting wages for many entry and mid level roles now in the mid to upper teens per hour. Real estate agents report roughly a few hundred active single family listings inside the Tulsa city limits, with median prices hovering in the low to mid two hundreds, and some storm damaged properties likely coming on the market as repairs and insurance claims unfold. Culturally, the Mabee Center hosts the Extraordinary Women conference through today, drawing visitors to south Lewis and 81st and giving a boost to nearby hotels and restaurants. Around the Arts District and Blue Dome tonight, some outdoor events may adjust times after the storms, but most indoor shows and live music are still on, so we can call ahead and then support local venues if we are able.

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Friday, March 6. We start with big news close to home. Our own U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin is stepping up to replace Kristi Noem as Secretary of Homeland Security, announced by President Trump yesterday and effective March 31. The National Desk reports Mullin spoke to Tulsa voters recently about getting the department working for Americans, and while Senate confirmation is needed, hes excited to tackle it. This means more national spotlight on our city and could boost local pride as we watch one of ours lead on security. Shifting to City Hall, the Tulsa City Council just passed an emergency ordinance cracking down on street racing with vehicle impoundments. KRMG says it targets dangerous takeovers on streets like Riverside Drive and Peoria Avenue, making our roads safer for families heading to daily commutes or school drop-offs. On affordable housing, the Tulsa Flyer highlights a new Urban Institute report showing Oklahoma leaves millions in federal tax credits unused, slowing projects here. We need about 6,000 units by 2028, so builders are pushing for policy tweaks to open doors for more homes near Gathering Place and downtown. The job market holds steady with around 50,000 openings statewide, many in Tulsa construction and healthcare per recent listings, while home prices average 280,000 dollars, up 5 percent but still buyer-friendly in Midtown. Weather today brings mild temps in the low 60s with scattered showers, so grab umbrellas for outdoor plans like walks along the Arkansas River—clearing up by evening with sunshine tomorrow. New business buzz includes a fresh coffee spot opening on Cherry Street next week. Mark your calendars for the Oklahoma Municipal Leagues Tribal Municipal Symposium at River Spirit Casino this weekend, great for networking. Quick school shoutout: Booker T. Washington High aced a regional robotics tourney. Sports note: University of Tulsa Golden Hurricane mens basketball fights for playoffs this weekend at the Reynolds Center.

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Thursday, March fifth. We're starting with a major decision coming down from City Hall. The Tulsa City Council is expected to take up a proposal today that would allow police to impound vehicles for ten days if drivers are caught with serious traffic violations. We're talking about street racing, extreme acceleration, speeding forty miles per hour or more above the limit on highways, or driving at twice the posted speed on city streets. If approved, owners would cover all towing and storage fees, though there would be a hearing process after the vehicle is stored. Early release could happen in cases of innocent owners or severe hardship. Supporters say this targets dangerous driving and improves public safety for all of us on the road. Over in Broken Arrow, there's been quite a bit of community conversation around a big bond proposal. The city is asking voters to approve a four hundred fifteen million dollar general obligation bond package with eight propositions. Seven of them wouldn't raise taxes and would fund road widening, intersection improvements, new fire stations, warning sirens, and park and trail projects. But proposition eight has grabbed the most attention because it would add a temporary half-cent sales tax for fifty three million dollars in sports facility upgrades. That breaks down to fifty cents extra on every hundred dollars you spend, or about ten cents on a twenty dollar lunch. City Manager Michael Spurgeon says the bond has been in development for two and a half years with six community surveys ensuring public support at each step. A bond information book will be mailed to every home starting March fifteenth, and community meetings continue through next month ahead of the April seventh vote. Some residents are supportive, citing the need to maintain the city's quality of life, while others question the transparency around costs and whether a five-year temporary tax will actually end. On the weather front, we've had some light drizzle and misty conditions hanging around, but things are about to shift. Potentially strong to severe thunderstorms are expected later today and into this evening, with the highest threat moving into tomorrow. We could see large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes as we head into Friday. Temperatures are in the thirties and forties right now, so bundle up if you're heading out.

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Thursday, February 26th. We're starting with a major environmental story affecting our region. A massive wildfire in Beaver County, Oklahoma has now burned over 283,000 acres since igniting on February 15th. The Ranger Road Fire is currently 15 percent contained, according to Oklahoma Forestry Services. Firefighters have been battling extreme conditions with high winds and dry weather making containment incredibly challenging. This is one of the largest wildfires to impact Oklahoma in recent years, and officials are urging everyone in nearby areas to stay alert and prepared. Shifting to city hall, we've got some housing news that should matter to many of you. Tulsa has just signed an agreement to deploy 47 million dollars from our voter approved housing funds through the Tulsa Housing Impact Fund. This money comes from the Improve Our Tulsa 3 package that voters approved back in August of 2023. The city is working with Housing Partnership Network to attract additional private investment, and they've already secured about 30 million dollars in private commitments. Mayor Monroe Nichols says the goal is to create 6,000 new affordable housing units by 2028. This comes at a critical time since housing costs have risen sharply since 2020, and roughly half of Tulsans struggle with housing affordability. On the public safety front, the Tulsa City Council held a first reading Wednesday on a new ordinance to crack down on reckless driving. Under the proposal, police could impound vehicles for up to 10 days if drivers are caught going 40 miles per hour over the speed limit on highways or double the speed limit in neighborhoods. Drivers would pay storage fees around 26 dollars a day. Councilor Lori Decter Wright pointed out real impacts in her district, noting that Memorial Avenue between 51st and 81st has seen too many avoidable injuries and deaths in just the last two years. Also at city hall this week, Mayor Monroe Nichols proposed sales tax increase appears to be on pause. Several city councilors have expressed little interest in revisiting the proposal anytime soon. Instead, the council is focusing on a hotel and motel tax increase they're considering for the August ballot to fund improvements at the BOK Center and Arvest Convention Center. On the positive side, the Tulsa Regional Chamber held its first HR Forum of 2026 this week. They're launching initiatives to attract talent in high demand fields including engineering, accounting, and avionics. One advertising campaign targeting engineers was seen 2.6 million times in just one month. Looking ahead, we've got some great entertainment coming to Tulsa this weekend. The Dropkick Murphys perform with The Aggrolites tonight, Eric Church takes the stage tomorrow night, and Nine Inch Nails brings their Peel It Back Tour on the 27th.

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Thursday, February nineteenth. We're starting today with a remarkable human interest story. After more than thirty years behind bars, Cathy Lamb walked out of Mabel Bassett Correctional Center this week. Lamb had been sentenced to life without parole for a nineteen ninety-one incident in Bokoshe, but a growing recognition that her case involved elements of self-defense led to her release on parole. The original prosecutor even wrote a letter years ago expressing regret about the conviction. Lamb's supporters gathered at the prison gates in an unseasonably warm February morning to celebrate her freedom. It's a powerful reminder that our justice system can evolve when we take time to examine the details. On the development front, Sand Springs continues moving forward with Project Spring, Google's proposed data center development. The city council approved rezoning for the project, which could ultimately include three data centers east of Highway ninety-seven. Google and White Rose Developers are planning to begin construction in twenty twenty-seven and wrap up by twenty twenty-nine. There is an active lawsuit from the Protect Sand Springs Alliance, but that case has been transferred to Tulsa County District Court. The city expects the legal challenge will be dismissed soon. Here in Tulsa proper, the temporary winter shelter at BeHeard Movement is winding down as we head into spring. The shelter, which opened in November as an emergency response to freezing temperatures, has been serving around two hundred fifty people daily at peak capacity. While no official closing date has been set, guests have been told the facility could close as early as March sixth. City officials are working to ensure everyone has an individualized exit plan, with connections to housing resources and long-term support through the A Way Home for Tulsa program. Case management will continue even after the shelter closes. The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals has been active this week, processing decisions from cases originating across the region, including one from the Northern District of Oklahoma here in Tulsa. Meanwhile, the Oklahoma State Charter School Board rejected a proposal to create a publicly funded Jewish charter school in the state, citing legal precedent in their decision. Weather-wise, we're enjoying that unseasonably warm stretch today, so take advantage of it. Conditions should remain mild through the evening. That's what's happening in our community this Thursday.

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Sunday, February 15. We kick off with exciting sports action from the BOK Center, where our Tulsa Oilers fell 5-3 to the Allen Americans last night in front of over 7,000 fans. The visitors exploded for four power-play goals in the second period, but our guys fought back with three in the third. Catch the rubber match this afternoon at 3:05, and lets cheer them to a split. Over at J.L. Hitchcock Stadium, Oral Roberts baseball edged Southern Illinois 1-0 yesterday, tying their series at one game apiece. We turn to community vibes with the Sooner State Party wrapping up their petition drive yesterday at the Downtown Tulsa Library on East 2nd Street. They gathered signatures to get on the 2026 ballot, pushing for more choices for independent voters like many of us. In feel-good news from the Cherokee Nation, Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. announced expanded grants and new field staff to boost our local community organizations in Tulsa and beyond. This means more support for language keepers, volunteers, and neighborhood projects that strengthen our bonds. City Hall updates include steady progress on daily life fixes, like better street maintenance around Riverside Drive after recent rains. No major disruptions today. On the job front, Cherokee Nation postings for field technical assistants open soon, rounding to about 10 new roles here in Tulsa to aid grassroots groups. Real estate sees steady sales, with median home prices around 280,000 dollars near Brookside, up slightly from last month. Weather-wise, mild skies this morning with temps in the upper 40s mean smooth drives to the BOK or Gathering Place. Expect scattered showers by afternoon, so grab that umbrella, but clearing tonight with highs near 55 tomorrow.
