Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Sunday, September seventh, and it’s just past eight forty-seven. Let’s get started with today’s biggest stories. We begin on a somber note: Albuquerque Fire Rescue and police responded early this morning to the tragic death of a one-month-old baby in a home on Briar Ridge Avenue in the northwest part of town. Authorities are conducting an investigation, and right now, our thoughts are with the family and first responders. Let’s keep them in mind as we move through today.Shifting over to civic matters, our city council returns to work tomorrow night. The Finance and Government Operations Committee is meeting at City Hall, and they’re opening the floor for public comment; signups are needed before three thirty that afternoon. Expect lively discussion on budget plans and neighborhood funding, so if you care about how the city spends its money, it’s a good time to make your voice heard.Weather today plays a role in our plans around town. After yesterday’s evening downpour that shortened the Isotopes baseball game, we wake up to damp streets in Barelas and uptown. Look for scattered clouds and temperatures in the mid-eighties later on, with a breeze from the west that could freshen up outdoor festivals. Keep an umbrella handy if you’re headed out; showers may pop back up late.Speaking of Ballpark culture, the Albuquerque Isotopes wrapped up a rain-shortened game late Saturday, beating Round Rock five to three right here at Isotopes Park. Daniel Cope and Sterlin Thompson were standouts, and the win puts the team in good spirits for today’s rematch at two-thirty-five. Sports fans have plenty to cheer about—our UNM Lobos also pulled out a hard-fought thirty-two to twenty-two victory over Idaho State at University Stadium last night, with Scottre Humphrey rushing for over a hundred and forty yards and two touchdowns. The crowd hit over seventeen thousand, the biggest home opener since twenty eighteen.On the real estate front, the big news is that home sales around Nob Hill and East Downtown remain steady, with median prices holding at just over three hundred thousand dollars. More rental listings are popping up near UNM as the fall semester kicks off. Employers citywide post nearly eight hundred new job openings this week in healthcare, retail, and education. Local businesses are staying busy: Ruth’s Diner on Central Avenue celebrates its grand reopening today after a summer renovation, and there’s talk of a new coffee shop opening soon in Old Town.Community spirit takes center stage with tonight’s free music concert at Civic Plaza starting at six. Local bands share the spotlight, and food trucks line up along Tijeras. Looking ahead, the Growers Market at Robinson Park brings fresh produce and crafts tomorrow morning, and families can join the Balloon Museum for its annual children’s STEM day.A quick nod to our schools: The Eldorado High boys soccer team picked up a big win Friday, and La Cueva’s robotics club just received a grant for new equipment, boosting their projects this fall.As for public safety, aside from the heartbreaking incident on Briar Ridge, no major crimes have been reported overnight, but police caution everyone to lock vehicles and stay aware around major intersections such as Lomas and San Mateo, where there’s been a recent uptick in car break-ins.To end on a bright note, neighbors near Ridgecrest spent Saturday repainting the community garden fence, adding sunflowers and bright reds to celebrate the start of Hispanic Heritage Month. It’s a small gesture, but it reminds us of the connections we build every day.Thanks for joining us this morning. Remember to subscribe to keep up with Albuquerque’s latest stories.
