Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for March 1, 2025.
We're kicking off the weekend with some exciting news from the local sports scene. The Nashville SC is gearing up for their first away game of the 2025 season today. They'll be debuting their new Heart of Nashville Kit as they face off against the New York Red Bulls at Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, New Jersey. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. our time, and fans can catch the action on Apple TV's MLS Season Pass.
In high school sports, the Nashville Scrapper football team recently celebrated their achievements at the 2025 Football Banquet. The event, organized by the Nashville Rotary Club, saw Morgan receiving the prestigious MVP Award. A new accolade, the Coach Brian Bearden Manager of the Year Award, was introduced and presented to Jacee Martin.
Shifting gears to the job market, we're seeing positive trends in Nashville's employment landscape. The city continues to attract new businesses and expand existing ones, creating a variety of opportunities for job seekers. However, some sectors are facing challenges due to potential tariffs that could impact construction and related industries.
On the cultural front, the Nashville Public Library's Children's Theater has made history with the appointment of Bret Wilson as the first manager of color for their Wishing Chair Productions. This marks a significant step towards diversity and inclusion in our local arts scene.
Weather-wise, we're looking at a rainy start to the weekend. Commuters should exercise caution on the roads, especially around flood-prone areas. Despite the wet conditions, temperatures will remain mild, with highs in the mid-60s.
In community news, the Nashville Rotary Clubs have reached a remarkable milestone, donating their 100,000th book to local children. This achievement underscores the ongoing commitment to literacy and education in our city.
Unfortunately, we have to report a tragic incident from yesterday. A pedestrian was fatally struck in a hit-and-run accident on Nolensville Pike. Police are urging anyone with information to come forward as they continue their investigation.
On a brighter note, Nashville's music scene is buzzing with the return of the Tin Pan South Songwriters Festival. The 33rd annual event is set to announce its lineup next Tuesday, promising another year of incredible performances from some of Music City's finest talents.
Looking ahead, don't forget about the upcoming Mardi Gras festivities in Nashville. Various venues around town will be hosting celebrations, bringing a taste of New Orleans to Music City.
This has been Nashville Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
