Nashville Local Pulse: March Madness, Spring Storms, and Soccer Showdown


Listen Later

Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Saturday, March 21. We kick off with sports heating up our weekend. Nashville SC faces rival Orlando City SC today at 5 p.m. at GEODIS Park, riding an eight-game unbeaten streak with stars like Hany Mukhtar hitting 150 MLS goal contributions and Sam Surridge chasing 50. The Boys in Gold lead the Eastern Conference in goals scored and fewest conceded, promising a thriller against Orlando's leaky defense. Over at Memorial Gym, our No. 2 seed Vanderbilt womens basketball team tips off March Madness at 6 p.m. against High Point on ESPNews, with Mikayla Blakes leading the nation at 27 points per game. And the Predators host the Vegas Golden Knights tonight, keeping Bridgestone Arena buzzing.

Shifting to weather, incoming storms have NDOT wrapping up brush pickup just in time around neighborhoods like East Nashville and Bellevue. A water main break disrupted service at Hermitage Hospital early today, but crews fixed it quickly, so daily routines stay on track. Expect scattered showers this afternoon turning to steady rain overnight, with temps in the mid-60s, so grab umbrellas for tailgates or errands.

City Hall approved funding for Broadway street repairs this week, easing traffic snarls near the Ryman Auditorium that hit our commutes hard. In real estate, median home prices hover around 450,000 dollars, up 5 percent, while job postings surged 8 percent in healthcare and tech near Vanderbilt. New spots include a craft brewery opening on Demonbreun Street and a coffee shop shuttering in Green Hills.

Crime stayed low in the past day, with South Nashville police arresting two in a vehicle theft near Nolensville Pike, no injuries reported, keeping our streets safer.

Schools shine too, with Glencliff Highs debate team winning regionals. Looking ahead, catch the East Nashville Farmers Market tomorrow and a free concert at Public Square Park Sunday.

For a feel-good lift, community volunteers planted 200 trees along the Cumberland River Greenway, boosting our green spaces for family walks.
