  • Albuquerque Pulse: Infrastructure Upgrades, Volunteering Honors, Cybersecurity Boom, and Community Kindness
    2025/04/11
    Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Friday, April 11, 2025. Let’s dive into today’s news and stories shaping life in the Duke City.

    First, in breaking news, the Albuquerque City Council has approved a $180 million infrastructure package slated for public vote later this year. The plan focuses on road improvements, public transit upgrades, and park revitalizations, aiming to enhance daily life for residents. If passed, this could bring long-awaited upgrades to areas like Montgomery Boulevard and Central Avenue, as well as new green spaces near Paseo del Norte.

    Switching gears to weather, we’re looking at another warm, sunny day with highs reaching 80 degrees. If you’re planning outdoor activities, make sure to carry water and sunscreen, as UV levels will be high. A slight breeze will pick up later in the afternoon, but no precipitation is expected.

    Over at the Albuquerque Museum today, Mayor Tim Keller and First Lady Elizabeth Kistin Keller will honor the city’s top volunteers during the tenth annual Mayor’s Day of Volunteer Recognition. This free event celebrates individuals who’ve dedicated their time to causes ranging from youth music education to senior companionship programs. It’s a heartwarming reminder of the community spirit we share.

    In the job market, Albuquerque continues to shine as a cybersecurity hub. The sector is booming with an 18% growth rate this year, fueled by major employers like Sandia National Labs and Intel. Entry-level salaries start at roughly $55,000, with average pay hitting an impressive $128,000 annually. For those considering a career switch, local institutions like UNM and CNM offer robust training programs. It’s a great time to jump into the field, as demand for cybersecurity experts remains high.

    Over in sports, the Albuquerque Isotopes are gearing up for their home opener at Rio Grande Credit Union Field tomorrow. Fans are excited to kick off the season with a bang, and tickets are still available. Meanwhile, students from Albuquerque High School celebrated a big win last night as their debate team qualified for the national civics competition in Washington, D.C. Congratulations to these talented young minds representing New Mexico on a national stage!

    For real estate, Albuquerque’s market shows no slowdown. Homes are selling quickly, with median prices stabilizing around $300,000. In business news, a new artisan bakery, “La Panadería del Pueblo,” opened its doors yesterday on Menaul Boulevard, featuring handmade pastries and locally sourced ingredients. Stop by for some fresh-baked treats and support local entrepreneurship.

    Crime reports today highlight an ongoing investigation into a fatal shooting involving a two-year-old. APD has arrested the child’s mother, though details are still unfolding. Elsewhere, police have apprehended a suspected drug dealer relocating operations from the West Side to North Valley. These incidents remind us to stay vigilant and care for our neighbors.

    Looking ahead, this weekend promises fun community events. Civic Plaza will host the Hands Off rally today, advocating for community inclusiveness. For fitness enthusiasts, the Albuquerque Senior Games begin tomorrow, featuring a racewalking competition at Balloon Fiesta Park.

    Finally, a feel-good story to close: two local barbers on Central Avenue were honored by the “Pay It 4ward” program for offering free haircuts to the unhoused. Their generosity reflects the kindness that makes Albuquerque truly special.

  • Albuquerque Tackles Rising Crime, Cybersecurity Boom, and Opioid Settlement Proposals
    2025/04/10
    Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Thursday, April 10, 2025.

    Breaking news this morning: Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has declared a state of emergency for Albuquerque to address rising crime. The National Guard is being mobilized to support local law enforcement, focusing on high-crime areas and combating the flow of fentanyl along Route 66. This bold action reflects growing concerns about public safety and the strain on police resources as the city tackles an uptick in violent crime. More updates are expected throughout the week.

    On the local jobs front, Albuquerque’s unemployment rate remains steady at 4.0%, supported by growth in professional services, technology, and healthcare. Recent city initiatives are encouraging, particularly in the booming cybersecurity sector, where salaries average around $128,000 annually. Opportunities in cybersecurity have skyrocketed by 18%, making it a prime field for job seekers. Sandia Labs and Intel are actively hiring, and local programs at UNM and CNM are providing top-tier training.

    In real estate, Albuquerque continues to see increased activity in the housing market. Homes near Nob Hill and the North Valley are selling quickly, with prices holding firm due to high demand. Renters, however, face challenges as rates remain elevated citywide, particularly in areas with newer developments.

    Turning to City Hall, the Albuquerque City Council is set to vote today on how to allocate funds from a recent opioid settlement. Key proposals include expanding mental health and rehabilitation services, which could have a noticeable impact on daily life for many residents struggling with addiction in our community. For District 9 residents, City Councilor Renée Grout is hosting a "Pizza and Conversation" event tonight from 6 to 7 p.m. at Dion’s on Central—it’s an excellent chance to share your thoughts directly with your representative.

    In weather, it’s a sunny and warm day ahead with highs reaching the low 80s—perfect for outdoor activities. However, the rapid warming trend we’ve been experiencing could push into the weekend, so stay hydrated and prepared for rising temperatures.

    For community events, the Kiva Auditorium will welcome comedian Fortune Feimster tonight as part of her “Takin’ Care of Biscuits” tour. If music is more your style, the Sunshine Theater hosts a local band showcase tomorrow night, featuring some of Albuquerque’s rising talent.

    On the sports front, the Albuquerque Isotopes are gearing up for their home opener this weekend. With excitement already building, fans are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy pregame festivities. In local school news, congratulations to a group of Albuquerque students who are heading to Washington, D.C., to compete in a national civics competition—a great achievement for our young leaders.

    In crime news, Albuquerque Police have been busy this week. A mother was arrested following the tragic shooting of her two-year-old in an apartment, an incident highlighting ongoing concerns around gun safety in homes. Meanwhile, APD also apprehended a suspected drug dealer who had been operating in the North Valley. Lastly, a shooting at the Westside Walmart earlier this week left one person dead, with investigations ongoing. Public safety remains a key concern, and community vigilance is encouraged.

    Let’s end on a brighter note. Local barbers were recently recognized for their compassionate outreach to children experiencing homelessness. Their initiative is bringing much-needed positivity to our city and showing how small acts of kindness can inspire big changes.

  • Tragic Shooting, Community Spirit, and Weekend Happenings in Albuquerque
    2025/04/05
    Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Saturday, April 5, 2025. Let's dive into today’s news and happenings around our city.

    We begin with breaking news from yesterday afternoon. A tragic shooting near 6900 Central Avenue SE, across from the Smoke City Smoke Shop, left one person dead and another injured. Police were called to the scene just after 3 PM and discovered the fatal victim outside the shop. The second person was found near an ART bus stop and is currently hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. The ART station at Central and Louisiana has been temporarily closed as investigations continue. If traveling through this area, expect traffic disruptions and plan accordingly.

    On a lighter note, spring is bringing some exciting cultural events our way. This afternoon, Civic Plaza will host the Hands Off! rally from 2 to 4 PM, part of a statewide movement advocating community solidarity. Meanwhile, the 32nd Annual César Chávez and Dolores Huerta Celebration is also taking place today. It's a fantastic opportunity to honor two iconic figures in civil rights history while enjoying music, food, and community spirit.

    In sports, the Albuquerque Isotopes had a strong start to their season with an away game last night. Fans are gearing up for their first home game at Isotopes Park on Tuesday. For high school sports enthusiasts, mark your calendar for track and field meets continuing this weekend across several Albuquerque Public Schools venues. Local athletes have been putting on impressive performances, so it's a great way to show your support.

    Turning to real estate, Albuquerque's housing market has seen steady activity this spring. The median home price in the city stands around $310,000, with a mix of new developments and historic homes feeding demand. If you're in the market, the open house scene this weekend could offer a few gems across Nob Hill and the North Valley.

    The job market remains a mixed bag. The city continues to recruit for key public service roles, while local manufacturing shows growth. Keep an eye on openings at Sandia Labs and the University of New Mexico, both of which are hiring across various departments.

    Weather-wise, Albuquerque is looking at a windy day with warm temperatures hovering in the mid-70s. Red flag warnings remain in place due to high winds, so avoid outdoor burning and secure any loose items around your property. The gusts could also impact outdoor events, but otherwise, it’s a great day to enjoy the sunshine.

    Crime and safety updates include a shooting at the Walmart on Coors and Ouray earlier this week, where one person was killed amid chaotic scenes. Police are working to determine the circumstances. Meanwhile, a homeowner on the west side fatally shot an alleged intruder in what police are investigating as a possible justifiable homicide. These incidents are stark reminders to remain vigilant and look out for one another.

    In community news, Albuquerque Fire Rescue teams are being praised for their quick response to a house fire early this week on Canyon Trail SW. Their efforts limited the damage and saved lives. On a feel-good note, volunteers with a local horse therapy program are making a big impact and are looking for more help. It's heartwarming to see such positive engagement happening in our community.

    Finally, for those looking to get involved or explore, check out the Department of Senior Affairs' expanded 50+ Sports and Fitness programs running throughout the month. There’s something for everyone, whether it’s track events at La Cueva High or cornhole competitions citywide.
