Albuquerque Local Pulse: Horseshoes, Isotopes, and Spring Weather
Published 2 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Sunday, April 12. We kick off with breaking news from Mariposa Basin Park in northwest Albuquerque, where the first U.S. Open Horseshoe Tournament wraps up today after drawing 142 pitchers from across the country. KOB reports its already pumped about $150,000 into our local economy, and organizers hope it sparks interest in hosting a world championship here someday. We love seeing our city shine like this.
Shifting to sports, our Albuquerque Isotopes dominated the El Paso Chihuahuas 4-0 last night at Southwest University Park, notching their first shutout of the season. Blaine Crim smashed a key home run, and Ryan Ritter extended his hitting streak to 27 games. The series finale starts at noon today, so grab tickets if you can.
On public safety, Albuquerque Police collected 225 firearms at Saturdays safe surrender event, with four turning out to be stolen. ABQ Raw notes this partnership with community groups helps keep guns out of the wrong hands, making our neighborhoods safer.
City Hall updates include yesterday's Coffee On Your Corner at Don Newton Taylor Ranch Community Center in District 1, where Councilor Stephanie Telles heard neighbors ideas on daily issues like parks and traffic. Mark your calendars for the Finance Committee meeting Tuesday at the Government Center.
Weather-wise, last nights showers have cleared, leaving us with a mainly dry, sunny to partly cloudy day and highs in the 70s around town. KOB forecasts light breezes near the Sandias, perfect for outdoor plans, though a stray sprinkle could pop up late over the mountains. Outlook stays mild into tomorrow.
Today at Expo New Mexico, catch the Southwest Chocolate and Coffee Fest through 5 p.m., with over 200 vendors and tastings. The InSight Photography Show wraps up there too, featuring 181 works by local artists.
In feel-good news, the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center dazzles with ongoing exhibits like Grounded in Clay, celebrating Pueblo pottery and our rich heritage.
Job market shows steady demand, with about 5,000 openings in healthcare and tech per recent listings. Real estate listings hover around 2,800 homes, with median prices near $350,000, favoring buyers in Northeast Heights.
