No Kings March Rocks Albuquerque as Community Fights Development
Published 4 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Sunday, March 29. We start with breaking news from our streets yesterday, where hundreds of us marched in the No Kings protest against rapid development swallowing up community spaces like the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden, now gone for a high-rise. Led by activist Amy Surly, families and students chanted No more towers along Central Avenue, pushing city hall for more inclusive planning that keeps our neighborhoods feeling like home. Organizers plan a town hall soon to keep the pressure on.
Shifting to city hall updates, those decisions hit daily life as Albuquerque issued seven commercial permits worth about two point two million dollars this week, topped by a nine hundred thousand dollar upgrade at ABQ Uptown shopping center, promising more spots for us to shop and gather.
On a somber note, our crime report from the past day includes a suspicious death investigation by APD after a body was found behind a church in the two ten block of Locust Street NE early this morning. Authorities are handling it sensitively as they gather details, and we urge everyone to stay vigilant.
The housing market brings good news, stabilizing into a new normal after last years turbulence, according to local builders and realtors, easing pressures for families hunting homes near the North Valley or Northeast Heights. Jobs look steady too, with business honors spotlighting women leaders like Maria Montoya Chavez, who snagged the Jennifer Riordan Community Impact Award.
In sports, Isotopes fans cheer Rockies prospect Charlie Condon crushing his first Triple-A homer at Rio Grande Credit Union Field, a three-run shot that had us roaring.
Weather wise, sunny skies with highs near seventy degrees make today perfect for Old Town festivities, but watch for gusty winds scattering pollen, so allergy sufferers grab your meds. Outlook stays mild through midweek.
New business buzz includes tweaks at Uptown, while community events feature family fun tomorrow in Historic Old Town with free kids activities, artist demos, and local eats. Local schools note strong showings in recent track meets.
And for a feel-good lift, were loving how neighbors rallied to plant new green spaces near the protest site, turning concern into community action.
