 Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Sunday, December seventh, and we are glad to be with you.

We start today with our big picture. Travel and Tour World reports that Albuquerque is seeing a surprise tourism surge, especially from Canada, the U K, and Mexico, with airlines adding more direct flights into the Sunport and hotels across the city seeing strong bookings. That tourism wave means more service jobs opening up, particularly in hotels near the airport, along I 25, and around Old Town.

At City Hall, our City Council is getting ready for a Finance and Government Operations Committee meeting Monday evening in the Vincent E. Griego Chambers at One Civic Plaza. The city is inviting public comment on budget and spending items, and we have until mid afternoon Monday to sign up online or by calling the council office. That is our chance to speak directly about how we want our tax dollars used.

In neighborhood news, the Albuquerque Business First journal reports the city has created a new permit category to bring back small neighborhood corner markets under about five thousand square feet. The goal is to open more fresh food options in areas that lack big grocery stores, especially in parts of the Southeast Heights and West Side. That could affect where we shop and how far we drive for basics.

On real estate, local agents say the median home price in the metro is holding around the mid three hundreds, with slightly fewer listings than last month. Rents for a typical two bedroom apartment are hovering near fourteen hundred dollars, with downtown and Nob Hill on the higher end and the South Valley a bit lower. For job seekers, hospitality and healthcare remain strong, with hotels near the Sunport hiring dozens of positions and the big hospital systems adding nurses and techs.

Weatherwise, we are cool and clear today across the valley. We are looking at highs in the upper forties to low fifties, some breezy conditions along Tramway and the foothills, and a cold night back down into the twenties. Skies stay mostly sunny, so outdoor events and errands are in good shape, but we will want layers early and late.

Looking ahead, the city is wrapping up registration today for several December events listed on cabq dot gov, including family holiday activities and Toys for Tots drives. Over the next few days, we have music and cultural events along Central in Nob Hill and at the KiMo Theatre, plus smaller shows at bars and breweries downtown and near EDo.

For schools, several APS winter sports teams are deep into early games. Local high school basketball squads notched a few close wins Friday night, and wrestling tournaments are under way at gyms across town, showcasing students from our East and West Side schools.

On the crime front, Albuquerque police report a few significant overnight incidents, including an armed robbery near Central and Louisiana and a serious crash along I 25 near Gibson that briefly closed lanes early this morning. Officers say investigations are ongoing, and they are asking us to stay alert, lock vehicles, and report suspicious activity, especially around big shopping areas.

We close today with one feel good note. Volunteers across the city are gathering toys and winter clothing for families, with drop offs happening at community centers from West Mesa to Cesar Chavez, reminding us how generous this community can be when our neighbors need help.
