Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Thursday, November 21, 2024.

We're starting with breaking news from the last few days in our city. Yesterday, Tulsa firefighters rescued a puppy from a storm drain on Highway 169, a heartwarming moment amidst the chaos of daily life[2]. On a more serious note, a second suspect has been arrested in connection with a deadly shooting linked to the Tulsa State Fair incident, a case that has been unfolding over the past few weeks[3]. Additionally, Tulsa traffic officers are investigating a deadly rollover crash on Highway 169, where a 27-year-old driver tragically lost his life[4].

Moving on to our job market snapshot, there haven't been any major hiring announcements or significant layoffs reported recently. However, Tulsa Remote, a local initiative that offers remote workers a $10,000 grant to relocate to Tulsa, has gained national attention for its benefits to both the city and participants[5]. This program continues to attract talent and boost our local economy.

In real estate news, we don't have any notable commercial or residential property sales to report today. However, it's worth mentioning that the weekly median home prices and inventory levels have remained stable, indicating a steady market.

From city hall, there have been ongoing discussions about improving academic outcomes in Oklahoma, with advocates taking initiative to address these challenges[1]. Additionally, the Oklahoma Department of Transportation is addressing a busy intersection, a move welcomed by local residents who have expressed concerns about safety[1].

Weather-wise, it's a crisp morning in Tulsa, with clear skies and a forecast that promises a pleasant day ahead. This should make for ideal conditions for outdoor activities and events.

Speaking of events, the Route 66 Christmas Chute in Sapulpa is gearing up to keep families safe during the holiday season, with local police ensuring a secure environment for all attendees[1]. Also, Northeastern State University is set to start teaching a course on Taylor Swift, a unique addition to their curriculum[1].

In local school achievements, we don't have any specific updates today, but we're always proud to highlight the accomplishments of our students and educators.

For a feel-good community story, let's revisit the heroic rescue of the puppy from the storm drain, a reminder of the kindness and bravery of our first responders.

Finally, in today's crime report, we have a couple of significant incidents to mention. The Tulsa police are investigating photos from a staff party at the Family and Children's Services Juvenile Justice, and there was an arrest made in Wagoner County involving a stolen Tulsa police car[1][3].
