  • Lexington Celebrates Independence with Patriotic Concerts, Fireworks, and Community Spirit

    Lexington Celebrates Independence with Patriotic Concerts, Fireworks, and Community Spirit
    2025/07/03
    Good morning, this is Lexington Local Pulse for Thursday, July 3. We start our day amid a weeklong celebration as Lexington gets ready for Independence Day. The city is glowing red, white, and blue, with neighborly energy building up all around us. Tonight, Transylvania University’s Old Morrison Lawn turns into a concert venue for the 42nd annual Patriotic Concert. The Lexington Philharmonic takes the main stage at 7:30, right after the Young At Heart Big Band opens at 5. Folks are already grabbing lawn chairs and picnics, and food trucks are setting up to feed what’s expected to be a very lively crowd. This family-friendly tradition packs Old Morrison Circle and spills into Gratz Park, where homes are decked out in flags and festive bunting. And if you’re a fan of music, the Kentucky National Guard’s 202nd US Army Band and Lexington Singers are also set to perform throughout the week.

    Lexington’s Fourth of July festivities don’t stop there. Through July 5, we’ve got everything from a community ice cream social to the Bluegrass 10,000 road race and a public reading of the Declaration of Independence. The grand fireworks show is just around the corner. Mayor Linda Gorton says she’s thrilled to see the city’s favorite traditions back in full swing this year.

    If you’re planning to be out and about, keep an eye on today’s weather. Light showers could pass through early, but forecasters say we’ll see warm, partly cloudy skies by late afternoon with temperatures climbing into the mid-eighties. Pack sunscreen, stay hydrated, and don’t forget your umbrellas if you’re headed out this morning.

    Turning to city hall, the Social Services and Public Safety Committee meets today with a packed agenda. They’ll discuss new initiatives for aging services and proposals to expand family support programs—issues that hit home for many of us.

    In the job market, city contracts and job opportunities remain steady, with several openings posted on the city website this week, especially for public service and community support roles. In real estate, activity remains brisk as folks look to settle before the new school year. Average home prices in Fayette County now hover just under three hundred thousand dollars.

    Today’s crime report spotlights a troubling situation: Several tenants in Lexington are accusing a property manager of stealing rent money and fleeing the state. Law enforcement is investigating, and public safety officials urge residents to report any suspicious rental activity.

    On a brighter note, University of Kentucky alumni are being celebrated in a summer series, with special recognition for Dr. Jackie Noonan, whose lifelong work in pediatrics has impacted generations of Kentucky families.

    For community spirit, we tip our hats to the students at Henry Clay High, who won this week’s state debate championship, bringing pride and inspiration to local schools.

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

  • Lexington's Historic Pride Parade, Tight Rental Market, and Affordable Housing Innovation

    Lexington's Historic Pride Parade, Tight Rental Market, and Affordable Housing Innovation
    2025/06/28
    Good morning, this is Lexington Local Pulse for Saturday, June 28, 2025.

    We wake up today to some breaking news for our community. Lexington marks history with its first-ever Pride Parade kicking off at 11 this morning along Oliver Lewis Way. It is the centerpiece of this year’s Pride Festival, set to be the biggest yet. Organizers say it’s all about love, inclusion, and celebrating our city’s diversity. Expect road closures and vibrant crowds as folks from across Lexington and beyond gather for this landmark event.

    From City Hall, we are hearing updates on local housing challenges. As the summer rental season ramps up, Lexington finds itself with the 16th tightest rental market in the country, and third in the South. If you are searching for a new apartment, expect higher competition and rising prices. Local officials are promising to address affordability, but for now, renters are feeling the pinch.

    On the jobs front, healthcare, education, and tech continue leading new postings. The unemployment rate remains steady, holding near four percent. Employers around the Hamburg and downtown areas are still in need of workers, especially in retail and hospitality.

    Turning to real estate, our market stays hot. Single-family home sales are brisk, with prices up a bit over last year. One local agent reports houses in Chevy Chase are selling within days, many above asking price.

    Weather today is typical for late June. We start off warm and muggy, with highs climbing into the mid to upper 80s. Scattered afternoon storms are possible, especially near the Bluegrass Airport, so pack an umbrella if you are heading downtown.

    On the cultural front, Keeneland fans are following the Wise Dan Stakes at Churchill Downs this evening, with a strong Lexington contingent in the race. The local favorite, Event Detail, is drawing attention after a comeback season. Post time for that big race is 5:31 PM.

    In sports, Lexington’s high school all-stars are shining. Henry Clay’s girls soccer team advanced to the state semifinals this week, and our summer baseball leagues are in full swing, with games at Shillito Park drawing big crowds.

    Music lovers, don’t miss the live jazz session tonight at Al’s Bar on North Limestone. And in arts, local artist Kiptoo Tarus is getting buzz for his new exhibit at the Living Arts and Science Center, highlighting Lexington’s creative spirit.

    A quick look at public safety. Overnight, Lexington Police responded to a burglary on Harrodsburg Road, making one arrest. No injuries were reported, and officers say there is no ongoing threat to the neighborhood.

    A feel-good story to close: Somerset Community College has just completed Kentucky’s first 3D-printed house, built right here in Lexington. Students and local builders teamed up to make affordable housing a reality, showing innovation is alive and well in the Bluegrass.

    That’s it for our roundup. This has been Lexington Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
