About this listen

 Good morning, this is Lexington Local Pulse for Friday, January 2nd. We start with breaking news from last night, a shooting near East Main Street and Limestone leaves three people wounded, their conditions still unclear as police investigate with no suspects or motive yet. Lexington Police urge anyone with tips to call Bluegrass Crime Stoppers right away, and we appreciate their focus on community safety amid our fourth straight year of declining gun violence. Shifting to brighter notes, our local schools shine, with Thomas More University womens basketball team grabbing their tenth win, 55 to 41 over Trevecca Nazarene, led by junior Desiree Tandys career-high 13 points and seven rebounds. The mens Saints dominated too, crushing Kentucky State 92 to 61 with sharp shooting from Pyan Paris, Colin McHale, and Kai Simpson. City Hall updates bring good news for daily life, as leaders push forward on infrastructure tweaks around Rupp Arena to ease traffic flow for us commuters. Job market stays strong, with about 400 remote hybrid openings in tech and admin roles popping up on Indeed, plus over 350 administrative gigs paying 15 to 69 dollars an hour nearby. Real estate heats up too, as Lexington ranks 16th on the 2025 best places to retire list from US News, drawing folks with our affordable homes and horse country charm, median prices holding steady around 320 thousand. New business buzz includes First Financial Bancorp expanding services after snapping up assets, boosting options for our local banking needs. Weather today brings chilly highs near 42 degrees with light flurries possible around Keeneland, so bundle up for outdoor errands, but clearer skies tomorrow mean a smoother weekend outlook. Culturally, were loving the magic of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe playing now through January 17th at the Ark Encounter in Williamstown, perfect family puppetry fun. Catch Hopeful Lutheran Churchs outreach at their Pantry of Hope near Yealey Elementary, gearing up for their 220th anniversary this year. Upcoming, head to The Green Door in nearby Northern Kentucky this month for alcohol-free mocktails, live music, and real connections. For a feel-good lift, veteran James Stevens shares his recovery story from Shepherds House, reminding us one step starts the journey for the one in ten facing alcohol challenges. Note a measles exposure alert from an out-of-state visitor at Ark Encounter and Holiday Inn Express, so check your vaccines and watch for symptoms up to 21 days out.
