Albuquerque Local Pulse: General McCasland Search Continues as City Celebrates New Advisory Board
Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Sunday, March 15.
We start with breaking news thats gripping our city: retired Air Force General William Neil McCasland vanished from his northeast Albuquerque home on February 27, walking away without his phone. With his background in classified space programs, GPS development, and overseeing top-secret DoD initiatives at places like Kirtland Air Force Base, the FBI has joined Bernalillo County Sheriffs Office in the search. Theyve canvassed over 600 homes near his residence, using drones, horses, helicopters, and search dogs, but no foul play or medical issues so far. If you know anything, text BCSO to 847411 or call 505-468-7070. Our hearts go out to his family as we hope for his safe return.
Shifting to City Hall, the Council just established the African American Advisory Board to guide the Mayor and leaders on community needs, a step thatll shape policies on housing and jobs for daily life here.
In business news, a new Goodwill store opens on the west side soon, bringing jobs and shopping to that growing area, while a retail center plans to anchor Cottonwood Commons. Job openings for small businesses dipped to their lowest since 2020, but six-figure roles are rising, with Albuquerque ranking 59th in AI readiness. Real estate shows renters getting more space for less, around 10 percent cheaper in key spots.
Culturally, UNM Fine Arts kicks off with The Act of Arriving juried show through March 27 at 117 7th Street NW, and Tamarind Exhibitions feature Jaune Quick-to-See Smith at 2500 Central Avenue SE. Music fans, Archspire plays Sunshine Theater on May 29 for their Long Roads, Big Loads tour.
Crime in the past 24 hours stays low-key, with no major incidents or alerts from APD, keeping our streets safer.
Weather today brings mild highs near 65 under partly cloudy skies, perfect for outdoor walks along the Bosque, though gusty winds could stir dust till evening. Expect the same tomorrow.
Quick school nod: UNM percussion students gear up for their March 31 solo concert. And a feel-good story, locals rallied with grants boosting youth career paths, opening doors downtown.
Upcoming, catch New Music New Mexico March 24 at UNM Center for the Arts.
