Published 4 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Friday, December 12. We kick off with breaking news from our southside, where SWAT served a search warrant yesterday, according to News 4 Tucson reports. No injuries were reported, but it underscores our ongoing push for public safety. Speaking of which, Tucson Police have issued a SAFE alert for 73-year-old Munyagitari Kwisebura, last seen on foot in the 8000 block of East Wetmore Road on Saturday. Hes five foot eight, 190 pounds, with white hair and brown eyes, wearing a black suit, white shirt, black cowboy hat, and black shoes. He has a medical condition that may cause confusion, so if you see him, call 911 or TPD at 520-837-7740.
Shifting to city hall updates, Pima County school districts like Amphitheater are setting budgets with tiny tax cuts for next year, easing some pressure on families. Governor Katie Hobbs just appointed Judge Kristin Schriner to Pima County Superior Court, strengthening our local justice system.
Weather today brings a gorgeous start, sunny and mild in the low 60s, perfect for outdoor fun with no rain in sight through Sunday. That sets us up beautifully for the weekends big events. Historic Fourth Avenue explodes with its annual Winter Street Fair from this morning through Sunday night, drawing 350,000 of us for artisans, restaurants, and live music, all free. Downtown buzzes with Second Saturday from 5 to 10 p.m. tonight, packed with art shows, concerts, street food trucks, and shopping. Casino Del Sol runs their 100,000 dollar Holiday Gold Rush drawings at 6, 7, and 8 p.m. today and Sunday, with extra entries for slot points. And tonight at 6 p.m., join Pima County for stargazing in Tucson Mountain Park, a free cosmic treat under clear skies.
On the cultural front, local author and DJ Dirtyverbs, aka Logan Phillips, is back as Pima County Librarys writer in residence, inspiring our creative scene. Schools shine too, with Tucson Education Association backing leaders like Adelita Grijalva for their work uplifting public education.
New business stays steady, no major openings or closings this week, while jobs hold firm around 4 percent unemployment locally. Real estate sees median homes at about 320,000 dollars, with steady sales near Miracle Mile.
For a feel-good lift, researchers highlight mycorrhizal fungi thriving invisibly in Saguaro National Park, quietly sustaining our desert life.
