Tucson Local Pulse: Missing Person Search, Wildcats Win, and Community Growth
Published 1 month ago
Description
Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Thursday, March 26th. We start with breaking news thats gripping our community: the ongoing search for Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today Show anchor Savannah Guthrie, who vanished from her Tucson home 53 days ago. Savannah shared her unbearable nightmare in her first interview yesterday with Fox News, while the Pima County Sheriff defended his teams handling amid family frustrations. Our hearts go out to them as we hope for answers soon.
Shifting to sports, our Arizona Wildcats mens tennis team dominated No. 8 Baylor 4-1 yesterday right here in Tucson, staying perfect at 3-0 in Big 12 play with a 15-3 season record. They grabbed the doubles point early and powered through singles, setting up an exciting home weekend ahead.
On the cultural front, were buzzing about tonights ASID Arizona South gathering at California Closets on East Broadway. Join fellow designers for wine, charcuterie, and networking that strengthens our creative scene.
City Hall updates include a key vote yesterday approving faster permitting for solar installations on homes near Speedway Boulevard, cutting red tape to help us all save on energy bills and fight climate impacts.
New business news: a popular coffee spot on North Oracle Road announced expansion with two new locations opening next month, creating about 25 jobs in barista and management roles.
Real estate is heating up too, with median home prices around $380,000 last month, up 5 percent, driven by demand near the University of Arizona.
Weather today brings mild sunshine with highs near 72 degrees under clear skies, perfect for outdoor plans, though a light breeze off the Catalinas might cool evening events. Expect the same tomorrow.
For public safety, Tucson Police reported a significant arrest overnight near Grant Road for a vehicle theft ring, with no injuries and heightened patrols in that area to keep our streets secure.
Local schools shine with Rincon Highs debate team winning regionals, heading to state finals.
And a feel-good story: volunteers at Mansfel Park planted 50 native trees yesterday, boosting green spaces we all enjoy.
Upcoming, catch the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show preview event Saturday at the Convention Center.
