Iconic "Breaking Bad" House Sold, Retail Theft Bust, Spring Storm Hits Albuquerque | Albuquerque Local Pulse
Published 2 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Friday, February 13. We kick off with exciting real estate buzz: the iconic Breaking Bad house on Avenida de las Pueblas has gone under contract after a fierce bidding war sparked by streamer Adin Ross claiming he snagged it. Listing agent Alicia Feil says offers poured in from around the world, pushing the price well above the $400,000 ask, with a possible close by February 24. Fans are thrilled, and the longtime owners get a big reward after years of fame and chaos.
Shifting to city hall, legislators Heather Berghmans and Antoinette Sedillo Lopez are pushing Senate Bill 91 to let us keep all revenue from speed cameras, about $2 million to $3 million more yearly for Vision Zero safety fixes. APDs 25 cameras on key spots like high-crash arteries have already cut speeds up to 8 miles per hour and issued nearly 582,000 tickets since 2022, making our streets safer without more audits.
On the crime front, APD cleverly busted a retail theft ring stealing over $25,000 from the Target on Coors Boulevard near I-40. Detectives hid a tracker in a stolen vacuum, tracked it to a suspects hideout, and confirmed sales on Facebook Marketplace at steep discounts. Months of work under the 2023 retail crime law turned it into a felony case, reminding us to watch for too-good-to-be-true deals.
Weather wise, a spring-like Pacific storm hits today with rain through late tonight, up to a quarter inch around town, and highs in the upper 50s to low 60s. It wont dent our low snowpack much, so expect a longer fire season ahead, but bundle up for wet drives on Paseo del Norte or Central Avenue. Mountains near Taos Ski Valley could see up to 8 inches of snow.
New business is quiet, but were eyeing job growth with about 1,500 openings in retail and tech listed locally this week. No big openings or closings, though Los Alamos Brewer Arena just got $2.8 million for upgrades, boosting regional events.
Mark your calendars for the weekend Art Walk on Nob Hill this Saturday and a free concert at Popejoy Hall Sunday. Local schools report strong basketball wins for Albuquerque High last night.
And a feel-good note: community volunteers cleared trash from the Bosque trail, making our river walks even better for families.
