Springtime in Music City: SEC Tourney, Sustainability Strides, and School Struggles
Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Friday, March 14, 2025.
We're waking up to a beautiful spring day here in Music City. The sun is shining, and temperatures are expected to reach a pleasant 75 degrees. It's perfect weather for the SEC Men's Basketball Tournament, which continues today at Bridgestone Arena. Fans from across the Southeast have flocked to Nashville, bringing a sea of team colors downtown. Local businesses are seeing green, with restaurants and hotels reporting a surge in customers.
Speaking of green, the city council approved a new sustainability initiative yesterday. Starting next month, all city buildings will be powered by renewable energy sources. Mayor John Cooper called it a "landmark step" towards Nashville's goal of carbon neutrality by 2050.
In other news, Hendersonville city leaders have approved a pay raise for police officers, hoping to attract and retain talent in the growing suburb. This comes as Nashville grapples with its own staffing challenges in public safety.
On the education front, a Tennessee graduate is making headlines for suing his former school district. The student, who graduated with a 3.4 GPA, claims he can't read and that the district failed him. This case is raising questions about educational standards and accountability across the state.
In the business world, Plaza Mariachi is suing Slim & Husky's Pizza Beeria over back rent and abandoning their lease. It's a dispute between two local success stories that highlights the challenges faced by small businesses in our growing city.
We're sad to report that Judge Blackburn is retiring from the bench in Davidson County after years of dedicated service. The search for her replacement is already underway.
On a lighter note, Lipscomb University's men's basketball team has clinched the ASUN championship, joining their 2018 squad in the record books. Go Bisons!
Looking ahead to the weekend, we've got a Storm 5 Alert for Friday night into Saturday evening. Expect strong thunderstorms, so adjust your plans accordingly. Sunday should bring clearer skies.
In community news, the Nashville Sounds Foundation is accepting applications for their annual scholarship program. Four local high school seniors will each receive $2,500 for college. The deadline is March 31st, so spread the word to any eligible students you know.
Finally, a heartwarming story from East Nashville. A local pizzeria has set up a "Pay-It-Forward Board," allowing customers to pre-purchase meals for those in need. It's a simple yet powerful way our community is coming together to help one another.
This has been Nashville Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
