Good morning, this is Charlotte Local Pulse for Friday, August 1st, 2025.
We wake up to partly cloudy skies across Charlotte with temperatures around seventy-six degrees. Our forecast for today calls for mostly sun and a high near ninety, so be sure to stay cool and hydrated, especially if you are planning to spend time outdoors this afternoon. Traffic is moving smoothly overall, although folks traveling near I-85 and Sam Wilson Road should watch for lingering delays from yesterday’s accident. It’s clearing up now, but keep it in mind for your morning commute.
Let’s begin with breaking news overnight. There was a serious shooting last night in north Charlotte on Harris Pond Drive. Medic responded quickly, and one person was taken to the hospital in critical condition, according to WCNC. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police are urging anyone with information to come forward, and officers are increasing overnight patrols in the area. Our thoughts go to those affected, and we’ll keep listeners updated on developments.
On a lighter note, Charlotte’s weekend is buzzing with activity. Tonight, live jazz returns downtown when Jonathan Butler takes the stage at the historic Carolina Theatre on North Tryon Street. If you prefer baseball under the lights, the Charlotte Knights launch a home series against the Richmond Red Wings at Truist Field. There will be fireworks after the Friday and Saturday games, and on Sunday, kids can run the bases after the final out. For those looking for activities beyond sports and music, there's an afternoon concert at Tuckaseegee Recreation Center at eleven o’clock today. Tomorrow morning, Urban District Market hosts their regular yoga session, perfect for starting your weekend with some peace and balance. Across town, Molly Santana brings her unique sound to The Underground on Hamilton Street at eight Saturday night, and the popular Asian Night Market opens up with street food, music, and lanterns lighting up the evening.
City Hall has been busy this week. Planners are reviewing community feedback on proposed park improvements for Wilmore and Plaza Midwood. If you visit those areas, expect to see city engineers surveying and meeting with residents throughout the weekend.
In the job market, there’s a surge of part-time and full-time openings at UNC Charlotte, including positions in communications, athletic marketing, and engineering. Local tech firms and manufacturers are looking for process and mechanical engineers, with applications due next week. So if you are job hunting or know someone who is, now is a great time to explore these fresh opportunities.
The Charlotte real estate sector reports steady activity. Prices remain stable as more homeowners list properties, giving buyers some breathing room after last year’s price spikes. Apartment rentals uptown are also holding steady, with new listings available at competitive rates.
Charlotte area schools have more to celebrate. The West Charlotte High STEM team took home top honors at their national competition last night, and UNC Charlotte’s soccer team landed a major regional victory. Big congratulations to our local students and coaches.
Before we go, a feel-good story to kickstart your Friday. A South End developer is creating a new green space downtown by relocating bee colonies to an old office park, supporting both pollinators and urban gardening efforts. It is inspiring to see the city add a little more green alongside the skyline.
That’s all for today’s updates. Thank you for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe for your daily dose of Charlotte’s local pulse. This has been Charlotte Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
