Good morning, this is Columbus Local Pulse for Saturday, April 11. We start with sports buzz as Ohio State running back Bo Jackson tells Eleven Warriors hes right where he wants to be in Columbus, bulking up to 220 pounds for a stronger sophomore season. That loyalty boosts our Buckeyes spirit heading into spring practice at Ohio Stadium on Woody Hayes Drive.

Our weather today brings partly cloudy skies with a high near 65, perfect for outdoor plans after last nights scattered rain around dinner time near High Street. WSYX forecasts a mild evening with lows in the 40s, warming to 81 under partly cloudy skies tomorrow, though thunderstorms could pop up Monday.

City Hall updates include smoother traffic flow decisions on I-70 interchanges, easing our daily commutes from Short North to German Village. In new business news, Mutiny for the Masses tickets went on sale yesterday via Johnny Blue Skies, promising fresh music vibes downtown.

Music fans, we caught Thunderstruck Americas AC/DC Tribute rocking The Bluestone last night on April 10, and tonight at Davidson Theatre in the Riffe Center, the Columbus Symphony presents Lets Misbehave with Cole Porter songs at 77 South High Street. Monster Jam revs up through tomorrow at Schottenstein Center for freestyle truck action. Looking ahead, the Ohio State 4 Miler draws 13,000 runners Sunday at 10 a.m. to Finish on the 50 inside Ohio Stadium, and Hurtbox hits Skullys on April 16.

Local schools shine with Worthington Kilbourne Highs recent math team win at state regionals. Job market stays steady with about 5,000 openings in tech and healthcare per OhioMeansJobs, while real estate sees median home prices around 350,000 dollars, up 4 percent near OSU campus.

On public safety, Columbus police report a sensitive arrest yesterday after a non-violent theft near Lane Avenue, with no injuries and heightened patrols in Easton Town Center for our peace of mind.

For a feel-good lift, community volunteers planted 200 trees along the Scioto Mile this week, greening our riverside paths for families.
