Good morning, this is Charlotte Local Pulse for Saturday, July twenty sixth. We start our day with a look at both breaking updates and the stories shaping our community. Last night, a shooting in west Charlotte on Capitol Drive left one person hospitalized with life-threatening injuries. Medic confirmed that paramedics responded around ten forty p.m. CMPD continues its investigation, and our thoughts go out to all impacted. Safety remains a priority across our neighborhoods.
Turning to city leadership, Charlotte is mourning the loss of retired CMPD assistant chief Vicki Foster, who passed away yesterday. Chief Johnny Jennings called Foster a dear friend and praised her thirty years of service and devotion to the city. As we remember her legacy, city hall continues to address safety and community concerns.
Over at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, there’s growing tension between ABM workers and their employer. According to the Charlotte Post, airport employees are calling for stronger safety measures and better working conditions, saying high turnover is driven by a lack of mandated breaks and issues such as limited access to water. With the airport being such a vital employment hub for our city, this standoff highlights the need for open dialogue and solutions, especially as many residents rely on these jobs.
It’s a busy season for local business news. On Central Avenue, Mi Cabana has had its alcohol license suspended following a recent inspection by CMPD and Alcohol Law Enforcement. The North Carolina ABC reports the inspection took place in the early hours and authorities continue to monitor compliance across the city.
For those tracking the real estate beat, Charlotte’s median home price now holds steady just below five hundred thousand dollars as summer demand remains brisk. Local agencies say new listings are up slightly over last month and open houses along Providence Road and in Dilworth are drawing strong crowds. Rental applications too, especially in South End and Plaza Midwood, are seeing a summertime uptick as new apartments come to market.
Students and families will be proud to hear that Mallard Creek’s girls soccer team wrapped their summer league with a district final win, adding another trophy to a standout year for CMS athletics. Also in schools, several Charlotte educators received grants for tech innovation, ensuring students return next month to classrooms with even more resources.
Tonight, the city’s buzzing as Charlotte FC hosts Toronto FC at Bank of America Stadium. The Crown enters on a four-match unbeaten streak, with Wilfried Zaha leading a dynamic attack. Kickoff is seven thirty, and stadium officials remind us to arrive early due to expected crowds. Elsewhere in sports, Truist Field saw the debut of Big Time Wrestling last night, with legendary WWE Hall of Famer Sting drawing old fans and new alike for a night of spectacle.
Weather is bringing both warmth and waves of humidity, with highs near ninety and a chance for afternoon thunderstorms. Outdoor events downtown and around Freedom Park are still on, but we’ll want to keep umbrellas handy. The weekend outlook brings only a slight cooldown with the chance of scattered showers tomorrow.
Looking ahead, festival season swings into high gear Sunday with the NoDa Summer Night Market, showcasing local artists, food trucks, and live music along North Davidson Street. Uptown, the Mosaic Cultural Center is hosting an interactive exhibit celebrating Charlotte’s musical history into the evening. Don’t forget, many neighborhood pools extend lap swim hours through the end of July.
For a feel-good story to close, volunteers from Myers Park and West Charlotte teamed up yesterday to deliver over three hundred summer reading kits to kids in need, reminding us of the heart and generosity that truly define Charlotte.
