Tucson Motel Demolition, New Church, Goodwill Jobs, and Haiku Hike - Your Tucson Local Pulse Update
-
サマリー
あらすじ・解説
Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Friday, April 11, 2025.
We begin with breaking news from downtown Tucson, where Pima Community College has started demolishing two of three 1950s motels on Drachman Street following a court ruling. This project clears the way for long-overdue campus expansion, a huge step in revitalizing the area for students and businesses alike. Just north of us in Oro Valley, many are celebrating as a local church won approval for a new sanctuary, marking what leaders are calling a “big victory” for their congregation.
In the job market, Goodwill of Southern Arizona has launched a fresh initiative to help job seekers with skills development and career placement. It’s great news for those looking to enter or re-enter the workforce as new opportunities arise in Tucson. Meanwhile, over at Trader Joe’s on Speedway and Campbell, lines wrapped around the store this morning as customers clamored to snag the return of their beloved mini tote bags.
Now, shifting to weather. It’s a beautiful spring day in Tucson with a high of 82 degrees and light breezes. Perfect weather to get outside and enjoy some events, like the sixth annual Haiku Hike happening on Tumamoc Hill this weekend. This unique event highlights poetry submissions from around the world, and winning entries are displayed along the trail. Tonight, expect cooler temperatures dipping into the mid-50s, so bring a light sweater if you’re heading out.
Speaking of events, don't miss the Latino Pride Celebration taking place tomorrow on the Westside near Menlo Park. It’s a vibrant gathering of music, food, and community. Additionally, the Tucson Roadrunners hockey team is set to face off at the Tucson Arena tonight. Tickets are still available, and it’s a great family-friendly outing.
In real estate, Tucson’s housing market remains steady, with average home prices hovering around $385,000. However, Green Valley residents just south of town are raising concerns about a new TEP-Unisource energy project. Community members are advocating for changes to minimize environmental impact as the project moves forward.
On the public safety front, Tucson police responded to a home burglary near Broadway and Wilmot late last night. Thankfully, no one was injured, and an arrest was made shortly after thanks to nearby witnesses. Remember, keep your doors locked and stay alert, especially as the weekend approaches.
Let’s end on a feel-good note. Tucson High School's robotics team just clinched first place at a statewide competition, showcasing innovation and teamwork. It’s always inspiring to see our local students thriving and making us proud.
This has been Tucson Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
