  • Weekend Wrap-Up: Tribal Pact, Summer Heat, and Community Spirit in Tulsa
    2025/06/28
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Saturday, June 28, 2025. We hope your weekend is off to a good start. Let’s get caught up on the latest around town.

    We start with breaking developments just in from City Hall. The Muscogee Nation and the City of Tulsa are nearing a historic agreement to resolve their long-running dispute over criminal jurisdiction on the Muscogee Reservation. Mayor Monroe Nichols and Principal Chief David Hill have finalized terms, and the Muscogee National Council is expected to grant approval at their meeting this weekend. This deal could bring long-awaited clarity for law enforcement and citizens alike. There’s still one hurdle: Governor Stitt has issued objections in federal court, but for now, city and tribal leaders sound optimistic that a new chapter is ahead for Tulsa’s governance and sovereignty partners.

    Weather-wise, we’re waking up to a warm Saturday. Right now, temperatures are in the low 70s and we’re expecting highs near 91 this afternoon. There’s no rain in today’s forecast, so it’s a great day to be out and about—just remember to stay hydrated and lather up with sunscreen if you’re heading out to Gathering Place or Turkey Mountain. Looking ahead, tomorrow will be a little hotter with highs in the mid-90s, and the heat looks set to stick around through the Fourth of July holiday weekend.

    Turning to real estate and the job market, Tulsa Housing Authority has just secured 36 million dollars in funding for a new downtown affordable housing project. This is a significant boost for local families and construction workers. On the job front, summer hiring continues at local retailers and restaurants, with several hundred openings reported this week. For anyone job hunting, keep an eye on listings near Utica Square and along Cherry Street, where new businesses are gearing up for the busy season.

    In community events, the Greenwood Arts District is hosting a weekend-long summer market starting today, featuring local artists, food trucks, and live music. Meanwhile, River Parks will be busy as folks gather for early Independence Day picnics. If you’re looking for family activities, the Tulsa Zoo is running discounted admission through Sunday.

    On the sports beat, the Tulsa Drillers are making waves—tune in Tuesday as they’re featured in the MLB Pipeline Prospect Showcase, broadcast live from Riders Field. The Drillers’ pitching rotation has turned heads lately, with Ben Anderson tossing six scoreless innings this week. High school sports are on pause for the summer, but several local student-athletes were recognized for academic achievements in regional competitions.

    In public safety, police responded late last night to a burglary along South Yale Avenue. One arrest was made and, thankfully, no injuries were reported. Officers remind us to lock up and stay alert, especially as summer travel picks up.

    Ending on a positive note, neighbors in Kendall-Whittier pulled together this week to clean up their community garden after last week’s storm. Volunteers of all ages brought rakes, snacks, and plenty of smiles—reminding us that Tulsa’s spirit is strongest when we work together.

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

  • Tulsa Local Pulse: Downtown Curfew, Pride Events, and Uplifting Community Spirit
    2025/06/27
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Friday, June 27, 2025.

    We start with breaking news out of City Hall. Tulsa’s City Council last night approved a new downtown youth curfew after a heated two-hour debate. The curfew, which passed by a 7 to 1 vote, will now apply Thursday through Saturday nights and is set to expire in late October. The council trimmed down the original plan in response to public concern and called the measure a continuing conversation, not a permanent fix. Councilors say this is about balancing public safety downtown with the need for more youth resources outside the core area.

    Turning to crime and public safety. Tulsa police remained visible downtown and near the Greenwood District following a recent tragic shooting at the Juneteenth celebration. Authorities urge anyone with information to come forward as the investigation continues. In other safety updates, park communities are coming together after recent thefts at the Park Plaza South Pool, with neighbors donating to replace stolen maintenance tools and keep the pool open for summer fun.

    In legal developments, the city and the Muscogee Creek Nation are on the verge of a settlement over criminal jurisdiction disputes. Both Mayor Monroe Nichols and Chief David Hill have agreed in principle, and a final decision could come as soon as this week. This agreement may reshape how certain cases are handled within the reservation area and marks a significant step for local governance.

    Now for the weather. We are waking up to warm, muggy conditions, and we can expect highs in the low 90s by midafternoon. Scattered storms are possible after lunch, with a better chance of rain holding off until late Saturday. Pack that umbrella if you are headed out to evening events, but it looks like we should get through most of today with just a mix of sun and clouds.

    On the business front, the City of Tulsa has several new construction bids out, including sewer rehabilitation projects. That means more job openings for local trades and opportunities for small businesses. In the wider job market, listings for healthcare and logistics roles remain strong across both Tulsa and Broken Arrow.

    Now let's look ahead to the weekend. Tonight, Pride Month festivities wrap up with a special Magic: The Gathering event at Trade Routes near Archer Street, running from 6:30 to 10 p.m. It’s a safe, welcoming space for LGBTQ+ gamers and allies to connect. Saturday, local breweries and art galleries in the East Village will feature pop-up shows and extended patio hours.

    In arts news, Tulsa’s own Tessa Durrell was crowned Miss Oklahoma last weekend. Tessa, a recent Oklahoma State graduate, plans to use her platform to champion community service and youth leadership. She’ll appear Monday morning on local TV to talk about her goals.

    As for real estate, home listings in midtown and Brookside remain steady, with average sale prices hovering near three hundred thousand. Agents say demand is strongest for updated three-bedroom homes within Booker T. Washington’s school zone.

    Our feel-good story today: despite a tough week, neighbors in Park Plaza rallied after that pool theft. They set up a donation drive and had the gates open again within two days, showing once again the spirit of Tulsa community when it matters most.

    That’s everything you need to know this Friday morning. This has been Tulsa Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • Tulsa Tackles Downtown Curfew, Startup Surge, and Community Generosity - Tulsa Local Pulse June 26, 2025
    2025/06/26
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Thursday, June 26th, 2025.

    We wake up today with a significant shift in how our city is addressing safety downtown. Just last night, the Tulsa City Council voted seven to one to enact a new curfew for those 17 and under in the downtown area, specifically within the Inner Dispersal Loop. The curfew now runs from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. on Thursdays through Saturdays, and will remain in effect until at least October 22nd. Police say their focus will be on encouraging teens to leave the area rather than immediately issuing citations. This move comes in direct response to the recent tragedy during the Juneteenth celebration, where one person lost their life and several others were injured by gunfire in the historic Greenwood District. The city is also forming a task force on gun violence and expanding support for young Tulsans, a priority that Mayor Monroe Nichols emphasized, saying the root causes of youth violence need real solutions.

    Turning to the weather, we’re looking at another hot day in Tulsa, with highs in the low nineties and plenty of sun. If you’re heading to River Parks or gathering at Guthrie Green, remember to stay hydrated and try to avoid outdoor activities during peak heat this afternoon. The weekend will bring more of the same, so summer events are a go, but be sure to check for any heat advisories.

    On the business front, Tulsa continues to see a steady flow of new investments, with a handful of small tech startups announcing their move into the Arts District this week. Meanwhile, we’re hearing that a long-standing coffee shop on Cherry Street is closing its doors, a reminder of the changing face of our local small business community.

    In real estate, the demand for affordable homes remains strong. This past week, about 120 new listings came on the market, with the average sale price for a single-family home in Tulsa now hovering just above 240,000 dollars.

    Community events over the next few days include the Blue Dome Art Walk starting tomorrow evening and the Tulsa Drillers hosting a weekend series at ONEOK Field. We’ve also got live music at Cain’s Ballroom with a lineup of local and regional bands, plus families can check out the Saturday Market at Mother Road Market for fresh produce and crafts.

    School’s out for the summer, but we’re celebrating the Edison Prep robotics team, who just brought home second place at a national competition. Congratulations to those students and their coaches for representing Tulsa on the big stage.

    Finally, a quick note on public safety. Tulsa police report an arrest in a vehicle theft near Peoria Avenue last night, and they’re still seeking information in last weekend’s downtown shooting. If you know anything, contact Crime Stoppers to help keep our city safe.

    And before we go, a small feel-good story. Volunteers at the Tulsa Community Food Bank packed over four thousand meals yesterday for families in need—a great example of neighbors stepping up for one another.

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