Good morning, this is Lexington Local Pulse for Monday, December 2, 2024. We're starting the week with a look at the latest developments in our city.
First off, there's been a tragic incident over the weekend. A shooting on Chinoe Road has left one person dead, and Lexington police are currently investigating the homicide[3]. This comes after another shooting on Versailles Road, which also resulted in a fatality. Our thoughts are with the families affected by these incidents.
Moving on to the job market, we don't have any major hiring announcements to share today, but we do note that Small Business Saturday helped local shops heat up for the holiday season. Downtown Lexington was bustling with activity on Friday, despite the cold weather.
In real estate news, we don't have any notable commercial or residential property sales to report, but we do want to mention that the cold weather might impact outdoor construction projects. We'll keep an eye on any developments in this area.
From city hall, there are concerns over Amendment 1 and showing proof of citizenship when voting. This is an important issue that affects many in our community, and we'll continue to follow any updates.
Weather-wise, it's going to be a cold day today, with temperatures dipping even further tonight. A quick round of snow is expected tonight, so make sure to check the roads before heading out[1].
In business news, we don't have any major openings or closings to report, but we do want to mention that the Catholic Action Center delivered traditional Thanksgiving meals to those in need. It's heartwarming to see our community come together to help others.
Looking ahead to the next few days, there are several community events worth noting. The Newport Aquarium is hosting 'Scuba Santa's Water Wonderland', and Santa's annual train visit is delivering hope and magic to one corner of coal country.
In local school achievements, the University of Kentucky's volleyball team has earned a 3-seed in the NCAA tournament, and Morehead State volleyball is heading to the Steel City to open the tournament. Congratulations to all the athletes involved.
On a feel-good note, a Lexington resident is using a contest to help raise breast cancer awareness. It's inspiring to see individuals making a difference in our community.
Finally, in today's crime report, we want to mention that there was an overnight shooting on Winchester Road that is currently under investigation. Additionally, a woman was arrested in Scott County for DUI after driving on the wrong side of the road. We urge everyone to stay safe and aware of their surroundings.
