  • Lexington Greek Sing Raises $1M for Make-A-Wish, Job Fair, Home Prices, Officer Loss, Robotics Win, Lemonade Philanthropy

    Lexington Greek Sing Raises $1M for Make-A-Wish, Job Fair, Home Prices, Officer Loss, Robotics Win, Lemonade Philanthropy
    2025/04/12
    Good morning, this is Lexington Local Pulse for Saturday, April 12, 2025.

    We start today with breaking news: the University of Kentucky’s Greek Sing takes center stage tonight at Rupp Arena. This annual event, hosted by Chi Omega and Beta Theta Pi, showcases choreographed performances by Greek life organizations and raises funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Over the past five years, it has raised nearly $1 million for critically ill children. Tickets are still available if you’re looking for a night of fun and philanthropy.

    Turning to the job market, Lexington continues to shine with a post-pandemic employment growth of 5.5%, the highest in the Cleveland Fed’s Fourth District. Despite a national slowdown, Lexington outpaces many metro areas. For job seekers, the Lexington Career Fair is happening Tuesday, April 29, at 9:30 a.m. downtown. With positions in healthcare, tech, and education, it’s an excellent opportunity for networking. Don’t forget to bring an updated resume.

    In real estate, home prices remain stable, with the average listing sitting around $320,000. However, inventory remains tight, so sellers may still have the upper hand this spring. Prospective buyers should act quickly, especially for homes near downtown or in popular neighborhoods like Chevy Chase.

    City Hall updates include strides in flood preparedness after recent rains caused minor localized flooding earlier this week. Officials announce plans to improve stormwater infrastructure along North Limestone. Meanwhile, the Lexington Police Department is mourning the unexpected loss of Officer Richie Wells, who passed in a tragic accident in Georgia. Our hearts go out to his family and colleagues.

    On a brighter note, today’s weather is perfect for outdoor plans. After a chilly start in the upper 40s, sunshine will take over by midday, with highs reaching the low 60s. Sunday looks even better, hitting the upper 60s under clear skies. If you’re looking for weekend fun, Keeneland hosts the Stonestreet Lexington Stakes at 5:16 p.m., a thrilling race with a $400,000 purse. Gosger, a rising star, is one to watch.

    Local schools continue to impress, with Henry Clay High School’s robotics team winning a state competition last night. They’ll now compete nationally in Atlanta next month. Meanwhile, in sports, the Transylvania University women’s basketball team celebrates an undefeated season after clinching their championship last weekend.

    Finally, here’s a feel-good story to wrap up: a Lexington boy, 10-year-old Ethan, raised $2,000 for the humane society by selling lemonade on Euclid Avenue. His outstanding efforts show how even the smallest acts can make a big difference.

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

  • Flooding Hits Kentucky, Keeneland Races On, and Lexington's Robust Job Market - Lexington Local Pulse

    Flooding Hits Kentucky, Keeneland Races On, and Lexington's Robust Job Market - Lexington Local Pulse
    2025/04/11
    Good morning, this is Lexington Local Pulse for Friday, April 11, 2025.

    We start with breaking news. Flooding across Kentucky has now claimed six lives, with damage extending to roads, homes, and infrastructure. While the worst of the storms have passed, several rivers and creeks remain swollen, and nearly 500 roads are still closed statewide, including some in Fayette County. Search and rescue teams, including crews from Lexington, continue assisting affected communities. If you're traveling today, be cautious of road closures and high water.

    In local developments, we’re looking at a chilly but dry spring day following last week's storms. Temperatures hover around the mid-50s, with light breezes throughout the day. This weather provides a perfect chance to enjoy outdoor events, like the start of Keeneland’s spring meet, though yesterday's storms caused a slight schedule shift. Racing begins this afternoon, so bring your jackets and enjoy one of Lexington’s storied traditions.

    Turning to jobs, Lexington’s unemployment rate remains steady at a low 3.4 percent, showcasing a robust local economy. For job seekers, April is packed with opportunities. The Lexington Career Fair on April 29 will connect attendees with top employers across industries. Mark your calendars and polish those resumes! For something sooner, a virtual job fair is set for April 18.

    On the real estate front, homes in Lexington continue to sell quickly, with the average listing price holding strong at around $320,000. Low inventory means it's still a seller's market but keep an eye out for new properties hitting the market this weekend.

    In community news, preparations are underway for the emergence of Brood 14 cicadas, a 17-year phenomenon expected to hit Central Kentucky later this month. These periodical cicadas, nicknamed the "Bourbon Brood," are already creating buzz, and the University of Kentucky urges residents to appreciate their rarity.

    For music lovers, tonight, The Burl hosts a lineup of local indie bands starting at 8 p.m. It’s a great way to support Lexington’s vibrant music scene. And, looking ahead, the Lexington Philharmonic performs tomorrow, promising an evening of classical brilliance.

    In public safety, Lexington Police are investigating a collision on South Broadway near Bolivar Street from late last night, where two individuals sustained minor injuries. Remember to drive cautiously, especially in construction zones, as today’s dry weather might not last.

    Lastly, on an uplifting note, congratulations to Henry Clay High School's robotics team for clinching first place at a regional competition. Their innovative project solved real-world challenges, showcasing the incredible talent of Fayette County students.

    This has been Lexington Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates. Stay safe and enjoy your Friday!

  • Lexington News: Arrests in Homicide Case, Resident's Heart Transplant, Local Job Fairs, and More

    Lexington News: Arrests in Homicide Case, Resident's Heart Transplant, Local Job Fairs, and More
    2025/04/10
    Good morning, this is Lexington Local Pulse for Thursday, April 10, 2025. Let’s dive into today’s top stories and updates shaping our community.

    We begin with breaking news. Lexington police have made arrests in connection with the River Park Drive homicide case, providing relief to a neighborhood shaken by recent violence. This marks significant progress in ensuring public safety. Meanwhile, city officials are reminding residents to report any suspicious activity as investigations into other violent incidents continue.

    In a heartwarming health update, Andy Biermann, a Lexington resident, is recovering well after a lifesaving heart transplant at UK HealthCare. Andy's story highlights the resilience of patients and the transformative power of advanced medical care in our city. It’s a testament to the excellent work being done at the UK Gill Heart & Vascular Institute.

    On the job front, Lexington’s unemployment rate remains steady at approximately 3.4%, reflecting a healthy local economy. If you’re seeking employment, don’t miss the Lexington Career Fair on April 29 at Lexington Street or the virtual JobFairX event on April 18. Both offer great opportunities to connect with top employers across industries.

    Turning to real estate, Lexington’s housing market continues to see steady demand. While prices remain high, the city planning commission is set to meet today to review new subdivision proposals, which could address housing availability in the future.

    In local culture, the second annual Blue Morpho Walk is set for April 27 at The Arboretum, benefiting the Kentucky Children’s Hospital. This touching event honors the memory of Alex Simpson and offers a chance to stroll through the beautiful butterfly garden while supporting a worthy cause. Registration is free, and donations are encouraged.

    The arts scene is buzzing too. This weekend, live music returns to venues downtown, with local bands headlining at Triangle Park and Manchester Music Hall. Be sure to check schedules and enjoy the spring vibes with great tunes.

    On the sports front, congratulations to the Henry Clay High School soccer team for securing a hard-fought win in last night’s regional finals. Lexington’s high school athletes continue to shine and make us proud.

    Weather today is unsettled, with storms likely in the afternoon and potential for strong winds. The high will reach 68 degrees. If you’re attending outdoor events, be prepared and keep an eye on updates for changing weather conditions.

    For community events, don’t forget the city’s Community Environmental Academy is now accepting applications. This is a fantastic opportunity to engage in sustainability projects that impact Lexington’s future. Applications close soon, so act quickly if you’re interested.

    Finally, here’s a feel-good story to brighten your day. A downtown protest earlier this week, part of the national “Hands Off” campaign, saw Lexington residents peacefully advocating for their rights with creativity and passion. The positive energy displayed serves as a reminder of the strength and unity in our community.

    This has been Lexington Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates. Stay safe and make today a great one!
