Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Thursday, September 11, 2025. We begin on a somber and reflective note as our city comes together to mark the twenty-fourth anniversary of the September 11 attacks. This morning, Albuquerque Fire Rescue is leading a special stair climb at the Washington Federal Building downtown, honoring the hundreds of firefighters who lost their lives that day. Afterward, everyone is invited to Civic Plaza for a memorial ceremony to remember the unity and courage that followed those tragic events. Even if you’ve never attended before, today is a chance to share in that sense of community and remembrance.Turning to city news, we’re keeping an eye on real estate and development just up the road in Rio Rancho, with the city council set to vote tonight on the long-debated Chamisa Hills master plan. This proposal aims to turn the former Chamisa Hills golf course on Country Club Drive into more than 300 homes, a business park, and a new town center. While some residents welcome the new housing and amenities, others remain concerned about traffic, taxes, and how new development will reshape the area. Interested neighbors have until shortly before the 6 p.m. meeting to sign up to speak, and the outcome could have a ripple effect on housing trends across the metro.Back here in Albuquerque, the job market is holding steady, with hospitality and health care employers reporting steady hiring and a handful of new service jobs recently posted around Central and Coors. In real estate, home prices remain flat, hovering around 320 thousand dollars for a median single-family home, with demand focused on the Northeast Heights and Westside.On the weather front, we’re seeing partly cloudy conditions this morning with a high in the upper 80s expected this afternoon and a slight breeze picking up by late day. Most of us will stay dry but keep an eye out for a stray shower, especially if you’re out near the foothills. Humidity is a little higher than usual, and overnight lows will drop into the low 60s, making for a pleasant evening and good conditions for outdoor events. The weekend brings more of the same, with above-average temperatures sticking around.Culturally, there’s lots of excitement for tonight’s Music from the Americas concert at UNM’s Keller Hall at 7:30, featuring Mexican guitarist Alan Guerra and works from emerging composers. And tomorrow morning, the city kicks off Hispanic Heritage Month with music and food at the Old Town Gazebo. Looking ahead to the weekend, International Fest 2025 lights up Talin Market on Saturday with music, food trucks, crafts, and family activities. In community news, Albuquerque High’s girls soccer team took a victory over Sandia, pushing their record into first place for this fall’s metro standings, while local elementary students at Montezuma celebrated their new outdoor classroom with help from parent volunteers.In public safety, police responded to a two-vehicle accident with injuries near 98th Street and Sage Road Southwest late last night. Emergency crews arrived quickly and transported those injured for care. Officials remind us to take care at intersections and expect minor delays in the area as cleanup wraps up. No other major incidents or arrests have been reported overnight.And for today’s feel-good story, a group of neighbors in the South Valley organized a mural painting project on a vacant building off Isleta Boulevard, turning a blight into a colorful tribute to community pride and resilience. Passersby shared messages of support, proving that small acts make a big impact in our neighborhoods.That wraps up our local news.
