Albuquerque Homicides Reach 107, Brewery Closures, and New Developments | Albuquerque Local Pulse
Published 3 months, 4 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Saturday, December 27. We kick off with breaking news from our streets. Overnight, an early morning shooting near Central Avenue SE and Jefferson Street NE marked our 107th homicide of the year, according to ABQ Raw reports. Police are investigating, and we urge our listeners to share tips safely if they know anything. In another serious incident, city mechanic Robert Candelaria faces charges after allegedly crashing an ABQ Ride Sun Van on I-40 near 98th Street while high on cocaine in what he called a suicide attempt, as detailed by the Albuquerque Journal. Our thoughts go out to everyone affected, and the city is conducting a full review.
Shifting to business moves that hit close to home, Bosque Brewing announced closures of its Albuquerque taprooms, a tough blow for local craft beer fans, while Range Cafe on Route 66 is shutting its Downtown spot due to a potential building sale. On a brighter note, Drop Cafe just opened bringing Middle Eastern coffee flair to our neighborhoods, and the Piru Group plans 42 modular workforce homes on vacant lots using Boxabl designs to ease our housing crunch, per Albuquerque Business First.
City Hall updates show our site-readiness program off to a strong start, with dozens of spots evaluated statewide including here in ABQ, already luring Amazon to Roswell and promising quicker job growth, says Economic Development Secretary Rob Black in the Journal. Real estate sees homes like that eye-catching adobe pink one in Las Cruces popping up, but locally median prices hover around 350,000 dollars. Jobs look steady with new tech and science pushes aiming to keep our grads here.
Weather-wise, we hit a record 64 degrees on Christmas, but today chilly winds around 40 degrees with possible light snow flurries could slow morning commutes on I-40 and San Mateo. Bundle up for outdoor plans, and expect clearer skies by afternoon.
Sports fans, our Lobos fell 20 to 17 in overtime to Minnesota at the Rate Bowl last night, but tonight the Isleta New Mexico Bowl brings North Texas versus San Diego State right here in Albuquerque at 5:45 PM. Catch it at University Stadium.
Looking ahead, BioPark welcomes its first wolves to the new facility, a win for families. UNM students energized recent politics with strong voter turnout. And for feel-good vibes, a scrappy Taos nonprofit helps grandparents raising grandkids, inspiring us all.
Upcoming, check Civic Plazas new spot for holiday lights winding down. Thanks for tuning in, listeners, and remember to subscribe. This has been Albuquerque Local Pulse. Well see you tomorrow with more local updates. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.
