    Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Sunday, November 24, 2024.

    We start with some breaking news from the past few days. Sadly, Marana mayor Ed Honea passed away at the age of 77. Our thoughts are with his family and the community he served. In other news, Mountain View High School was vandalized and burglarized overnight, prompting an investigation by local authorities[1].

    Moving on to the job market, there haven't been any major hiring announcements or significant layoffs reported recently. However, it's worth noting that the current unemployment rate in Pima County remains steady, with no recent updates available.

    In real estate, there have been no notable commercial or residential property sales reported in the past few days. However, construction continues on various projects around the city, including new residential developments in the downtown area.

    From city hall, we have an update on a fun event for the holiday season. The City of Tucson, along with Rio Nuevo, Si Charro, HSL Properties, and Dirty Dough, invites you to skate on Tucson's outdoor ice rink starting today, November 24, 2024, and running through the holidays[4].

    Weather-wise, today is expected to be sunny with mild temperatures, making it a perfect day to enjoy outdoor activities like ice skating. Looking ahead, we expect similar conditions for the next few days.

    In new business activity, there have been no major openings or closings reported recently. However, local businesses are gearing up for the holiday season with special promotions and events.

    Upcoming community events include the ice skating rink mentioned earlier, as well as various holiday markets and festivities around the city.

    In local school news, we don't have any specific achievements or sports results to report today, but we do want to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of our local students and athletes.

    For a feel-good community story, we highlight the collaborative effort between local businesses and the city to bring festive activities to our community, such as the outdoor ice rink.

    Finally, in today's crime report, we note that there have been no significant incidents or arrests reported in the past 24 hours. However, the Tucson Police Department continues to investigate the recent vandalism and burglary at Mountain View High School[1][3].

  • El Tour de Tucson, Tragic Loss, and Sports Highlights in Tucson

    El Tour de Tucson, Tragic Loss, and Sports Highlights in Tucson
    Nov 23 2024
    Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Saturday, November 23, 2024.

    We're starting off with some breaking news from the past few days. A 67-year-old person has tragically passed away after a two-vehicle incident on Fort Lowell, a reminder to all of us to be cautious on the roads[2]. In sports news, Mica Mountain has defeated Thunderbird 38-14 to reach the Class 4A semifinals, and Desert Edge has upset Tucson 30-14 in the 5A playoffs[2][5].

    Today, our city is buzzing with the El Tour de Tucson, a regional annual road bike ride that's expected to bring over 2,800 riders through Sahuarita. Residents are advised to be extra cautious and plan their travel accordingly, as there will be lane and left turn restrictions on Sahuarita Road from Rancho Sahuarita Boulevard east to Nogales Highway. All businesses along Sahuarita Road will still be accessible, but drivers may need to make U-turns to access businesses on the opposite side of the road[1].

    Moving on to our job market snapshot, there haven't been any major hiring announcements or notable business expansions in the past few days. However, we encourage our listeners to check out local job postings from top employers and stay updated on the current unemployment rate.

    In real estate news, we don't have any notable commercial or residential property sales to report today. However, we remind our listeners to keep an eye on weekly median home prices and inventory levels, which can provide valuable insights into the local market.

    From city hall, we have updates on decisions that affect our daily lives. The city is always working to improve our infrastructure and services, and we'll keep you updated on any significant developments.

    The weather today is expected to be sunny, with a high of 68 degrees. This should make for perfect conditions for the El Tour de Tucson cyclists and for anyone planning outdoor activities.

    In new business activity, we don't have any major openings or closings to report today. However, we're always on the lookout for exciting new developments in our local business scene.

    Looking ahead to the next few days, we have several community events lined up. The El Tour de Tucson is a significant event that supports local and international charitable organizations, and we encourage our listeners to learn more about it at eltourdetucson.org[1].

    In local school achievements, we have some exciting sports results to share. Mica Mountain's victory in the Class 4A semifinals is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our local athletes[2].

    In today's crime report, we have a tragic incident to report. A fatal vehicle collision occurred on E. Broadway Boulevard and N. Ridgeside Drive on November 15, 2024. Our thoughts are with the families affected by this incident[4].

    Finally, we'd like to share a feel-good community story. The El Tour de Tucson is not just a sporting event but also a fundraiser that has raised over $110 million for local and international charitable organizations since 1983. It's a great example of how our community comes together to support good causes[1].
