We start with breaking news from the Rio Grande bosque near Central and Tingley. Yesterday afternoon, a wildfire broke out close to the Albuquerque Botanic Garden, sending smoke across the valley and prompting park visitors to evacuate. Fire crews responded quickly and managed to keep the blaze from spreading into neighborhoods, but parts of the bosque are closed today as mop-up continues. Officials urge us to avoid the area and remind everyone that fire danger remains high in the summer heat. The weather today will be mostly sunny with highs in the low 90s, but there’s a chance for evening thunderstorms, so keep an eye on the sky if you’re heading outdoors.
Turning to City Hall, Mayor Tim Keller shared that leaders are working on improving clarity and transparency in how the city addresses housing and safety concerns. This comes after a recent controversy at the Gavilan mobile home park, which inspectors declared unlivable this week due to hazards after last month’s storms. Cleanup efforts are ongoing, and city staff are connecting residents to resources and temporary housing.
On the crime front, Albuquerque Police made an arrest in a major case: Detectives took Erick Pacheco into custody on July 10 in connection with the June shooting death of Denise Duran near Wyoming and Lomas. Meanwhile, police also released more details about a non-fatal officer-involved shooting from June on the West Side. Public safety remains a top concern with increased patrols in Northeast neighborhoods following a deadly shooting Friday night.
Shifting to the job market, Albuquerque’s unemployment rate is holding steady, and we’re seeing new job listings rise, especially in health care and tech. There’s also a glimmer of hope in the real estate market: The number of new listings increased by about ten percent this week, with the median home price just below three hundred ten thousand dollars. Open houses are happening today in Nob Hill and Westside, with a few first-time buyer workshops scheduled this week.
In business news, a new coffee shop, Zia Java, opened its doors yesterday on Central across from UNM, adding to the lively scene there, while several local retailers on Route 66 are holding summer sidewalk sales today and tomorrow.
For sports fans, the Albuquerque Isotopes fell to Round Rock 5 to 1 last night, despite out-hitting the Express by two. There’s a rematch this afternoon with first pitch at 12:05. On the high school front, Cleveland’s standout baseball player was just named Gatorade Player of the Year, and five local athletes were inducted into the New Mexico Sports Hall of Fame.
This weekend’s community calendar is packed. Presbyterian Hospital is hosting a Community Baby Expo near Carlisle and I-40, free to all expectant families. Also, look out for the Downtown Art Walk Friday evening and movies in the park tonight at North Domingo Baca.
And for a quick feel-good story—after forty years, a piece of stolen art was returned to the Harwood Museum of Art thanks to a tip from a retired teacher. It’s a reminder that small acts can make a big difference in our community.
