Good morning, this is Omaha Local Pulse for Friday, December 26. We kick off with a quiet post-Christmas vibe across our city, but some key updates shape our day. City Hall reminds us about the 2025 tax delinquency notices now out from Douglas County, urging folks to check their properties near 84th and Center to avoid late fees that hit daily life hard. No major decisions today, but theyre streamlining payments online for easier access.
Weather-wise, we have mostly sunny skies with highs near 35 degrees and light winds, perfect for shaking off holiday haze without icy roads disrupting travel to places like Aksarben Village. Expect the same tomorrow, with a slight warm-up to 38.
On the business front, the Omaha Daily Record dives into healthcare challenges with their piece Is There A Cure For Healthcare, sparking talks among locals about costs at clinics along Dodge Street. No big openings or closings, but watch for steady job growth around 2 percent in healthcare and retail, per recent listings.
Real estate stays hot, with median home prices holding at about 290,000 dollars in west Omaha neighborhoods like Elkhorn, drawing families post-holidays. Jobs mirror that, with roughly 1,500 postings in construction and service sectors this week.
Crime in the past 24 hours remains low-key, with police reporting just a minor theft near 72nd and Pacific and an arrest for a traffic violation downtown, no public safety alerts to worry our listeners.
Schools shine too, as Creighton Prep boys basketball notched a win yesterday in their holiday tournament at Baxter Arena. Culturally, head to Union Station for the final days of their 50-year Christmas exhibit, a festive gem amid twinkling lights.
Looking ahead, catch community ice skating at St. Cecilia Cathedral this weekend and a New Years Eve bash at the Old Market in a couple days. For a feel-good lift, locals rallied to clear snow from elderly neighbors sidewalks in Benson yesterday, embodying our community spirit.
