Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Tuesday, April 1, 2025.
We're starting off with some breaking news from overnight. Tulsa police are investigating a homicide near Pine Street and Lewis Avenue. A man was shot just before midnight and later died at the hospital. Two individuals have been detained for questioning. If you have any information, please contact Crime Stoppers.
In city hall news, today's the day Tulsans head to the polls for several important local elections. The City of Claremore is asking voters to approve a 1% sales tax increase for infrastructure improvements. Meanwhile, several school districts have bond proposals on the ballot, including Nowata's $17 million package for building repairs and new buses.
Speaking of schools, congratulations to the Union High School girls tennis team, who brought home six medals from yesterday's tournament. Way to go, ladies!
In business news, we're excited to share that a new art exhibition is opening this week at the Tulsa Artists Coalition. Local artist Mery McNett's "Flowers Shall Grow" explores themes of grief and spiritual transformation through multimedia pieces. The exhibit runs from April 4 to 26 at 9 East Reconciliation Way.
Looking at today's weather, we're in for a beautiful spring day with highs around 72 degrees and partly cloudy skies. Perfect weather for getting out to vote or enjoying some outdoor activities.
In sports, the Rice Owls men's basketball team defeated our Tulsa Golden Hurricane 70-64 in their last matchup. However, our track and field athletes shined at the recent ORU Invitational, bringing home six first-place finishes.
On a heartwarming note, we want to highlight a Tulsa man who's working to restore his family's memorial bench on the Katy Trail. The bench, which mysteriously vanished, holds special meaning for the family, and he's determined to keep the memory of his loved ones alive.
For job seekers, we've noticed an uptick in healthcare and technology positions around town. The Tulsa Job Fair is coming up next week at the Cox Business Center, so mark your calendars if you're in the market for new opportunities.
In real estate, the average home price in Tulsa has risen to about $225,000, up 5% from this time last year. New developments are popping up in the Broken Arrow area, with several townhome communities breaking ground this month.
Looking ahead to tomorrow, don't forget about the free community yoga class at Guthrie Green at 6 PM. It's a great way to unwind and connect with fellow Tulsans.
This has been Tulsa Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
