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.
