Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Tuesday, March 11, 2025.

We're waking up to a chilly start here in Music City, with temperatures hovering around 40 degrees. Bundle up if you're heading out early, but we'll see some sunshine later with highs reaching the mid-50s. Perfect weather for the outdoor events happening around town this week.

Speaking of events, the TSSAA State Basketball Championships kick off tomorrow at Murphy Center. Our local high schools are well-represented, so let's cheer them on. Meanwhile, over at the Tennessee Miller Coliseum in Murfreesboro, more than 1,900 young archers from 97 schools across the state are competing in the NASP State Championships. It's the 14th time this event has been held there, showcasing the growing popularity of archery in our schools.

In city news, Metro Council is set to vote tonight on a proposal to expand the FUSUS private camera network for Metro Nashville Police. This has sparked debates about public safety and privacy concerns. We'll keep you updated on the outcome.

On the business front, we're seeing the impact of recent tariffs as local shops brace for higher prices. However, there's good news too. Governor Lee announced that several big companies are eyeing Tennessee for expansion, calling it an "economic win" for our state. This could mean more job opportunities on the horizon.

In real estate, the housing market remains tight. A new report suggests that Tennessee isn't building enough homes to keep up with our growth. Local think tanks are recommending development taxes and land banks as potential solutions.

Now for some community news. The Nashville Sounds Foundation is gearing up to award $10,000 in scholarships to four outstanding high school seniors. If you know a college-bound student, encourage them to apply before the March 31 deadline.

In sports, congratulations to Ole Miss guard Sean Pedulla for earning All-SEC honors. The Rebels are headed to Nashville for the SEC Tournament, which starts Thursday at Bridgestone Arena.

On a lighter note, have you heard about Patrick, the snowboarding lawyer who took advantage of our recent snow day? He was spotted shredding the slopes at the State Capitol, reminding us all not to take life too seriously.

In today's crime report, police are searching for three suspects who fired shots into an East Nashville duplex last night. Thankfully, no injuries were reported. If you have any information, please contact Metro Nashville Police.

Lastly, a heads up for music fans. The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum has opened a new exhibit featuring items from Jelly Roll, Post Malone, and other contemporary artists. It's a great way to see how country music continues to evolve.

This has been Nashville Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
