    Good morning, this is Lexington Local Pulse for Friday, May 1. We start with some exciting new business buzz on Upper Street, where owners of the upcoming Two Keys Tavern have filed plans for a fenced patio at 503 South Upper Street. It will replace seven parking spots and add greenery, though neighbors in Historic South Hill worry about the change, and the city wants more vegetation or a variance by today.

Shifting to city hall, we have no major decisions today, but keep an eye on planning commission meetings that shape our daily streets and parking like this one.

    Lexington Local Pulse: 75 Days Safe, Community Together

    Good morning, this is Lexington Local Pulse for Friday, April 24th, 2026. We're starting the day with some positive momentum in our community. Lexington is now marking 75 days without a homicide, and Director Devine Carama is challenging local residents to keep our city safe and continue this important milestone. It's a reminder of what we can accomplish when we work together toward public safety. Speaking of community efforts, if you're looking to get involved this weekend, the Kentucky Ballet Theatre is presenting Don Quixote at the Lexington Opera House tomorrow and Sunday. It's a great family-friendly cultural outing as we head into the weekend. And if you're more of an outdoor person, Gatton Park is hosting a Bioblitz City Nature Challenge tomorrow from noon to two in the afternoon. It's a perfect way to explore our natural spaces while contributing to conservation efforts. Now let's talk weather because it could impact your outdoor plans. We're looking at isolated thunderstorms today with a high of 80 and a low around 58 degrees. There's about a 30 percent chance of precipitation, so you might want to keep an umbrella handy. Looking ahead, Saturday will bring scattered thunderstorms with temperatures in the upper 70s, but then we clear out nicely for Sunday with mostly sunny skies and a high of 79. So if you're planning outdoor activities, Sunday is shaping up to be your best bet this weekend. On the public health front, Attorney General Coleman recently announced 30 million dollars in opioid abatement grants, with the Kentucky Opioid Abatement Advisory Commission meeting this month to discuss how those resources will be deployed across our state and community. It's significant funding aimed at addressing an ongoing challenge we face. We want to remind you about Lexington's annual Peace Walk happening soon as well, another opportunity for our community to come together around shared values of safety and unity.
