Apartment Fire, Bank Robbery, AI Data Centers, APS Grant, Lobos Crush UNLV - Albuquerque Local Pulse
Published 2 months, 4 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Thursday, January 29th. We start with breaking news from our city. Albuquerque Fire Rescue battled a two-story apartment fire last night at 1109 Arizona Street SE, displacing several families with heavy smoke and water damage, though no injuries were reported. Fire investigators are on the scene determining the cause. In crime updates from the past day, the FBI is offering a reward for tips on a bank robbery at U.S. Bank on Wyoming Boulevard NE, and we urge listeners to stay vigilant around ATMs and banks.
Shifting to city hall, Bernalillo County leaders are weighing strict limits on new AI data centers to protect our power grid and neighborhoods, a move that could shape growth near major corridors like I-40. Meanwhile, the city is seeking input on hiring our next APD chief, with virtual sessions tonight for community leaders at 6 p.m. and an online survey open now, so we encourage everyone to share thoughts on building safer streets.
On a positive note, Albuquerque Public Schools just landed a 2.7 million dollar federal grant to expand walking school bus programs, helping kids safely reach campuses like those in Nob Hill. In sports, our UNM Lobos men's basketball team crushed UNLV in their biggest road win ever at Thomas and Mack Center, thanks to league-leading defense, and the girls high school rankings have Highland upsetting top La Cueva.
Job market looks strong with Google partnering to offer free career certificates to residents, and an apprenticeship program connecting an Albuquerque mother-daughter duo to solid careers. Real estate buzz includes redevelopment of the San Mateo towers, promising a boost to Trade Winds Shopping Center with about 200 new units. Ladera Golf Course is hunting a new clubhouse operator, signaling fresh activity west side.
New business highlights: A mini-golf venue near us gets a revival under new management, and our creative economy is booming post-pandemic per recent reports. Weather today brings chilly highs near 45 degrees under partly cloudy skies, perfect for indoor events but bundle up for any evening walks along the Bosque—clear and cold tonight with light winds.
Upcoming, join Souper Bowl this weekend tasting 35 local spots to support Roadrunner Food Bank, and input sessions for the new police chief continue through Friday. For a feel-good story, after shutting down a controversial homeless camp near Quirky Used Books in Nob Hill, nearby shops like Southwest Ceramic Lighting report cleaner streets and renewed energy, giving our community a fresh start.
Thanks for tuning in, listeners—subscribe for daily updates. This has been Albuquerque Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.
