Good morning, this is Lexington Local Pulse for Sunday, March 22. We kick off today with a heads up on the weather, as a slight risk of severe storms brews along that cold front pushing through northern Kentucky this afternoon. Expect possible damaging winds and large hail, especially after lunch, so we stay cautious for outdoor plans around Rupp Arena or downtown. Sunshine breaks through early, with temps climbing to the mid-60s before any action, and we dry out tomorrow under high pressure for a warmer week ahead.
Over at Rupp Arena, Journey rocks the Final Frontier Tour tonight, wrapping up their epic run right here in our city, tickets still available if we grab them quick. Looking ahead, Pat Metheny brings his jazz mastery to the Lexington Opera House on Wednesday, followed by Dirty Dancing in Concert Thursday, and Henry Cho's Empty Nest Tour doubles up Friday and Sunday. These shows keep our cultural scene buzzing on Main Street.
Jobs are plentiful, with over 14,000 openings across Lexington, many part-time gems like dental hygienist spots at Garden Springs Dental paying around 40 bucks an hour, or retail at Hobby Lobby near Nicholasville Road starting at 15. Real estate holds steady, with steady demand pushing median home prices near 320,000, great for buyers eyeing spots off Brannon Crossing.
City hall approved new bike lanes on Limestone Street this week, easing our daily commutes and boosting safety for families heading to UK. No major new business openings, but watch for expansions at local spots like Panera on Nicholasville.
On schools, our high schoolers shone in the KHSAA Sweet 16, with the Cardinals edging out a 58-50 overtime win Friday at Rupp, celebrating that state basketball glory. Crime stays low key past 24 hours, just a minor two-vehicle crash near downtown with one light injury, no alerts from police.
For a feel-good lift, Cathedral of Christ the King hosts daily mass at 5:30, drawing our community together in quiet reflection. Upcoming, Bluegrass Youth Ballet's Mira and the Thieves hits the Opera House April 3 and 4, perfect family fun.
