  • Tragic deaths, new business openings, and community updates - Tucson Local Pulse for April 5, 2025.

    Tragic deaths, new business openings, and community updates - Tucson Local Pulse for April 5, 2025.
    2025/04/05
    Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Saturday, April 5, 2025.

    We begin with breaking news. An altercation at the Arizona State Prison Complex on South Wilmot Road resulted in the tragic deaths of three individuals. The Arizona Department of Corrections reported the incident late yesterday, and an investigation is ongoing. In another incident, a woman involved in an altercation with a Department of Public Safety trooper on I-10 passed away after being shot. Authorities are currently reviewing both cases, and we’ll share updates as they come in.

    On a positive note, Tucson’s downtown area is buzzing with new business activity. Several openings are set for the coming months, including YBC Café, set to launch this month on North Church Avenue, and the Cornish Pasty Company, expected this summer on East Congress Street. Meanwhile, Empire Pizza on Congress is planning an expansion, bringing more dining options downtown. These developments not only enhance our dining and retail scene but also foster job opportunities.

    Speaking of jobs, Tucson’s employment outlook remains strong. Job growth is projected at 2.7% for 2025, with sectors like healthcare, aerospace, and technology leading the charge. Our city continues to attract professionals and families looking for stability and opportunity, reflected in our thriving housing market. The median home price is expected to rise to $385,000 by the end of the year, with particularly strong demand for entry-level homes. For renters and buyers, this remains an exciting yet competitive market.

    In community news, a midtown middle school is taking STEM education to new heights by integrating Legos into puzzle-solving projects. This creative approach to learning is preparing our students for futures in engineering and design. On the south side, Marana School District has recently seen some impressive sports results, with its high school baseball team clinching a regional win earlier this week. Go Tigers!

    Turning to the weather, gusty winds today come with a red flag warning, so let’s all stay cautious with outdoor activities. Temperatures will hover around the mid-80s this afternoon, making it a great day for indoor plans or a visit to one of Tucson’s museums or galleries. The wind is expected to ease by tomorrow, bringing milder conditions for outdoor events.

    We’ve got plenty to look forward to this weekend. On Sunday, the Tucson Folk Festival kicks off downtown, celebrating music and culture with performances from local and national acts. Don’t forget, the Urban Trail Run is happening at Reid Park this morning, offering a family-friendly event for runners of all levels. And if you're a shopper, check out the Mercado Flea Market, open tomorrow on Avenida Del Convento.

    In safety news, Tucson Police are investigating a homicide that occurred on the 7000 block of East Golf Links Road earlier this week, and a 13-year-old was arrested for allegedly bringing a firearm to a Marana elementary school. While no one was harmed, this highlights the importance of vigilance in our schools. Police encourage anyone with information about these incidents to come forward.

    Finally, in a feel-good story, Tucson Appliance, a long-standing local business, is embracing the challenges of tariff price increases with resilience. Their commitment to the community shines as they continue to provide reliable service to Tucson families, proving that our small businesses are the backbone of our city.

    This has been Tucson Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates. Stay safe and have a great day!

  • Tucson Folk Fest, New Biz Openings, School Accolades, and Community Support for Meals on Wheels

    Tucson Folk Fest, New Biz Openings, School Accolades, and Community Support for Meals on Wheels
    2025/04/04
    Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Friday, April 4, 2025. Let’s dive into what’s happening in our city today.

    We start with an exciting weekend ahead as the Tucson Folk Festival kicks off its 40th year this evening. This free event runs through Sunday at Jácome Plaza downtown, with more than 150 live performances across six stages. Aside from the music, there’s a community marketplace, a KidZone with crafts and activities, and plenty of local food vendors to explore. It’s a family-friendly celebration of music and culture right in the heart of Tucson.

    Switching gears, in business news, downtown continues to buzz with activity. Several new spots are set to open soon, including Antojitos on East Congress Street and YBC Café by Yellow Brick Coffee, which opens this month on North Church Avenue. Meanwhile, on the east side, Seis Kitchen is expanding to La Plaza Shoppes near Tanque Verde Road, bringing their scratch-made Mexican cuisine to a new neighborhood. It’s always exciting to see our local businesses growing and contributing to Tucson’s vibrant food scene.

    In real estate, construction at the Butterfield Logistics Center on East Columbia Street is well underway. When completed later this year, it will provide almost 200,000 square feet of industrial space, supporting Tucson’s growing logistics sector. On the retail side, Walmart’s expansion at Tucson Place on Wetmore Road is set to double its size by year’s end, adding more shopping options for the community.

    Moving on to education, the Catalina Foothills School District continues to shine, with all its schools earning "A" grades from the Arizona Department of Education. This achievement reflects the hard work of students, teachers, and parents, showing what’s possible when a community comes together. On another uplifting note, Canyon View Elementary celebrated fifth-grader Cadence Moore, who received a Ben’s Bell for her acts of kindness. Her work to promote unity through events like the Martin Luther King Jr. Day Unity Walk serves as an inspiration for us all.

    In public safety, a significant incident occurred in Marana where a 13-year-old was arrested after allegedly bringing a firearm to an elementary school. Authorities are emphasizing school safety and are working closely with local families to address concerns. Meanwhile, South Tucson has announced that its affordable housing waitlist will reopen on April 11, a move that could provide relief for many families in need.

    Taking a look at sports, Pioneer Robotics, a team from Catalina Foothills High, is making waves with their diversity initiative aimed at increasing female involvement in STEM fields. Their efforts highlight the importance of empowering students to innovate and lead in cutting-edge areas like robotics.

    As for the weather, gusty winds are causing a red flag warning today, so be cautious if you’re outdoors, especially near dry brush. Expect sunny skies and a high of 83 degrees, with cooler, breezy conditions expected this weekend. If you’re heading to the Folk Festival, consider bringing a light jacket for the evening.

    To wrap up, we have a feel-good story to share. Tucson Meals on Wheels is continuing its vital service despite facing funding challenges due to recent federal layoffs. This program provides meals to hundreds of seniors daily, and local leaders are rallying to secure additional support.

    This has been Tucson Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates. Stay safe and enjoy all Tucson has to offer!

    Tucson Pulse: Winds, School Incident, Downtown Boom, Community Events, Sports Highlights, and More
    2025/04/03
    Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Thursday, April 3, 2025. Let’s dive into what’s happening in our city today.

    To start off, gusting winds continue across Southern Arizona, prompting a red flag warning and a wind advisory. If you’re planning to be outdoors, secure loose items and exercise caution. The winds should taper off later in the evening, with a high today of 82 degrees and cooler temperatures overnight.

    In breaking news, law enforcement in Marana arrested a 13-year-old student for allegedly bringing a firearm to an elementary school. Thankfully, no one was harmed, but the incident has raised questions about school safety measures in the area.

    On a brighter note, downtown Tucson buzzes with business activity. Several new spots are opening soon, including Antojitos at 124 E. Congress Street and YBC Café by Yellow Brick Coffee debuting this month on Church Avenue. If you’re a fan of wine, keep an eye on Vertigo Wines, which recently opened on Toole Avenue. These new businesses reflect a growing vibrancy in our downtown core.

    In community events, tonight from 5 p.m., Pima County is hosting a Birding 101 session at Sweetwater Wetlands. It’s a great way to connect with nature, so bring your binoculars and enjoy the evening. Tomorrow kicks off the CDO Challenge Cup, a weekend soccer tournament featuring youth teams from across the region. For families and sports enthusiasts, this is a fun event to check out.

    On the cultural front, the University of Arizona is hosting a special Fastest Kid in Tucson event this weekend at Drachman Stadium as part of a track meet. Kids can join in a 100-meter dash and win medals. Meanwhile, the Tucson Folk Festival is just around the corner, starting Saturday, bringing music and joy to our downtown streets.

    Looking at real estate, Tucson remains a hotspot for development. A $40 million elementary school is under construction in Marana, designed to accommodate the area's growing population. Meanwhile, the Butterfield Logistics Center on East Columbia Street is set to be completed later this year, adding nearly 195,000 square feet of industrial space to support local logistics companies.

    In sports, congratulations to Tucson High’s softball team for their impressive win over a 6A South rival, securing their spot among the top-ranked teams in the state. And for golf fans, high school tournaments are in full swing around the city.

    Shifting gears to safety, Tucson police are investigating a string of vehicle break-ins near El Con Mall over the past 24 hours. Residents are urged to lock their cars and avoid leaving valuables in sight. The police department is increasing patrols in the area to prevent further incidents.

    In education, a midtown middle school is making waves with a creative initiative: students are building puzzle-solving robots with Legos, a project designed to enhance STEM skills. It’s inspiring to see our schools nurturing innovation.

    Finally, in a feel-good story, Tucson residents are rallying around a local hero. Isla Collins, a Tucson teen, has been selected for the USA flag football team. Her achievement is a testament to the incredible talent growing in our community.

    This has been Tucson Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates. Stay safe, stay informed, and enjoy your day!
