Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Friday, November 22, 2024.

We start with some breaking news from the past few days. A tragic rollover crash on Highway 169 between 21st and 31st Street has left one person dead. The driver, identified as 27-year-old Dominik Pulse, lost control of the vehicle, which then flipped several times before he was thrown over the concrete barrier. Our thoughts are with the family and loved ones affected by this incident[1].

Moving on to community news, a local non-profit, Christian Ministers Alliance, is in need of food donations for their Thanksgiving Basket Giveaway. The event, happening tonight at 6 p.m. at McLain High School, aims to provide 4,000 baskets to families in need across Tulsa Public Schools, Union, Broken Arrow, and Owasso. High grocery prices have impacted donations, and the organization is urging the community to help with items like turkeys, hams, sweet potatoes, and green beans. If you can donate, please call Reverend W.R. Casey at 918-902-1374[3].

In other news, Tulsa's outgoing mayor has expressed his vision for the city to become the drone capital of the world. According to recent reports, this goal is achievable, and we look forward to seeing developments in this area[5].

On the job market front, there have been no major hiring announcements or significant layoffs reported in the past few days. However, we encourage you to check local job postings from top employers and stay updated on the current unemployment rate.

In real estate, there have been no notable commercial or residential property sales or new development projects announced recently. Weekly median home prices and inventory levels remain steady, and there have been no significant zoning changes or property developments to report.

From city hall, there have been no recent decisions that directly affect daily life. However, we remind you to stay informed about ongoing projects and initiatives that may impact your community.

Weather-wise, today is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of 58 degrees. This should make for a pleasant day for outdoor activities and events. Looking ahead, the weekend is expected to be cool and sunny.

In new business activity, there have been no major openings or closings reported. However, we encourage you to support local businesses and explore new establishments in your area.

Upcoming community events include the Route 66 Christmas Chute in Sapulpa, which promises to be a fun and safe event for families. Also, don't miss the Thanksgiving Basket Giveaway tonight at McLain High School.

In local school achievements, we highlight the efforts of advocates working to improve academic outcomes in Oklahoma. Their initiatives aim to enhance educational opportunities for students across the state.

For a feel-good community story, we share the news of newborns of two Coweta firefighters recovering from surgery. Our thoughts are with the families during this challenging time.

Finally, in today's crime report, we note the ongoing investigation into the rollover crash on Highway 169 and urge everyone to drive safely. There have been no other significant incidents or public safety alerts in the past 24 hours.
