Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Saturday, October 4th, 2025. We start today with breaking local news that’s sure to impact a lot of families in South Tucson. The Food City store on South 6th Avenue has closed its doors after more than twenty five years in business. Many neighbors called this store a lifeline and losing it will create a food desert, making it much harder for residents—especially seniors and those without cars—to access affordable groceries. The mayor says the decision was driven by increased crime activity around the store and local grocery taxes. There is growing concern among our local leaders and activists about how this closure will shape daily routines in South Tucson. Turning now to Tucson’s weather, as we head into the weekend, we’re looking at a classic desert October day. We expect sunny skies all day with a high temp near ninety one degrees and a low tonight around sixty two. There’s no rain in the forecast and the air quality remains good. So any plans for hiking, biking, or heading to the Farmers Market at Rillito Park should go ahead. Just remember your sunscreen and water. For those wondering about outdoor events, conditions will stay warm but comfortable straight through Sunday.Updates from city hall include a quick note for voters. Pima County election officials have discovered a small typo in the Spanish translation of the budget override proposition on the Tucson Unified School District ballot. Officials stress this will not affect how votes are counted or what the ballot means. Just a heads up to avoid confusion as early voting continues.On the community calendar, Tucson Meet Yourself is lighting up downtown this weekend with music and food from dozens of local cultural groups.
