San Diego Pulse: Flu Outbreak, Beach Advisories, and Economic Updates

  • Summary

  • Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for January 12, 2025.

    We're starting off with some breaking news. A highly contagious flu is spreading rapidly across San Diego County, and health officials are urging residents to take precautions[3]. Meanwhile, two North County beaches have been added to the county's list of beach advisories due to high bacteria levels. In Imperial Beach, a pump station failure sent 30,000 gallons of sewage into the ocean, prompting warnings for beachgoers.

    In local business news, we're seeing some significant developments. The Normal Street Promenade project in Hillcrest has finally begun, promising to revitalize the area with new shops and dining options[3]. However, not all news is positive; the popular brunch spot Crushed in Pacific Beach has closed its doors, citing unforeseen circumstances.

    On the job market front, we don't have any major hiring announcements to report today, but it's worth noting that the unemployment rate in San Diego has remained steady. For those looking for new opportunities, top local employers continue to post job openings across various sectors.

    In real estate, there have been some notable property sales and development projects. The long-awaited Normal Street Promenade project is expected to boost local property values. Weekly median home prices have seen a slight increase, with inventory levels remaining relatively stable.

    From city hall, we have updates on decisions that affect daily life. The city is gearing up for a significant and prolonged Santa Ana wind event, which could impact outdoor activities and events today[3]. Residents are advised to stay informed about weather conditions and take necessary precautions.

    Speaking of events, there's a lot happening in San Diego today. The 1915 Point Loma Road Race Celebration is taking place at the San Diego Automotive Museum, and the High Tide Brunch is happening at the Marine Room. For families, the San Diego Rodeo at Petco Park and the Monster Jam at Snapdragon Stadium are sure to be hits.

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

    On a feel-good note, the San Diego Humane Society is working hard to protect our furry friends, warning about a lost pet scam and urging residents to be vigilant[3].

    In our crime report, we have a few incidents to mention. Authorities are investigating a tragic crash in Lemon Grove that honored the Haitian community, and there have been reports of scams targeting local residents, including a 'Keanu Reeves' imposter romance scam[3].

    Finally, looking at the weather, today's Santa Ana wind event could make outdoor activities challenging. We're expecting gusty winds and dry conditions, so please stay safe and stay informed.

    This has been San Diego Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
