Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Thursday, June nineteenth. We start our roundup today with a look at the weather and its impact on our plans. After yesterday’s storms, things are calming down. We expect mostly sunny skies with a few clouds and highs in the mid-eighties, so it’s a good day to get outdoors or attend community events. Keep an umbrella handy just in case, as stray afternoon showers have been a surprise this week.

Downtown, city hall updates are top of mind. The Metropolitan Area Planning Commission just reviewed proposed changes to historic preservation permit requirements. These changes could make it simpler and quicker to approve small projects on historic homes, especially in neighborhoods like Swan Lake and Maple Ridge. This could help neighbors with backyard and accessory structures, an issue that pops up often in these older areas.

In business news, excitement is building for the Summer of Fun Giveaway by News On 6 and the River. Locals have a shot at winning a 2025 Ford Bronco Sport—one of the summer’s most buzzed-about contests. Meanwhile, the job market holds steady, with around four thousand positions currently listed across Tulsa County. We’re seeing more job postings in healthcare and logistics, with a bump in seasonal roles for local attractions and event venues.

Turning to real estate, the pace of home sales remains brisk. Realtors are reporting that the average time on market for homes in Midtown and South Tulsa is now under three weeks. Listings near Riverside and Brookside are especially hot, so if you’re considering selling, now is an opportune time.

Our city’s cultural scene is in full swing. The Tulsa Juneteenth Festival continues down historic Greenwood Avenue through Saturday. This year’s family reunion theme is drawing crowds for music, art, dance, and food trucks. Organizers are highlighting the neighborhood’s unique history, and families from across the metro are joining in celebrations, sharing stories under the shade trees and enjoying performances on the main stage.

In sports, congratulations are in order for Booker T. Washington High School, whose girls’ track team just clinched another state title over the weekend. Meanwhile, the Tulsa Drillers are back in town for a home stand at ONEOK Field. It’s a perfect night to catch some minor league baseball under the stars.

Turning to crime and public safety, Tulsa police made a breakthrough this week with the arrest of a seventeen-year-old linked to a spree of sixteen burglaries targeting dispensaries and pawn shops. These incidents happened near 61st and Yale, 51st and Harvard, and several along Peoria. Police recovered a large stash of stolen items and are investigating whether additional suspects were involved. Authorities are encouraging anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers.

For a feel-good finish, we want to spotlight a community effort. Volunteers gathered near the Gathering Place yesterday to plant over a hundred new trees, part of the city’s ongoing drive to expand Tulsa’s green spaces. It’s another reminder that when we work together, we can keep Tulsa beautiful and thriving.

That does it for today’s Tulsa Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
