🌱 La Malinche Exhibit + Safe Outdoor Spaces Plan

Hello all. I'm back with your new edition of the Albuquerque Daily. Here's what you need to know about what's happening in town today.

First, today's weather:

Partly sunny and hot. High: 97 Low: 69.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Albuquerque who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Albuquerque Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories today in Albuquerque:

1. A new exhibit at the Albuquerque Museum examines the life of a controversial Aztec figure - La Malinche. The exhibit titled "Traitor, Survivor, Icon: The Legend of La Malinche" will be presented through the beginning of September. La Malinche is widely regarded as a traitor in Mexico but the culture is a little different in New Mexico. The exhibit aims to explore these differences. (KRQE News 13)
2. Bernalillo County is offering 600 discounted rides through the weekend during its "Take A Ride On Us" program. To participate in the program, simply use "Pride22" code to receive $10 off an Uber ride. The discount cannot be used for Uber Eats. (KOB 4)
3. Albuquerque leaders have outlined a new plan for the city's Safe Outdoor Spaces. $750,000 has been allocated through the city's budget to create the program's spaces. Each space will have roughly 40 to 50 spaces for tents with a locking opaque fence. The city will be providing security. (KOB 4)
