🌱 Museum To Get Soviet Missile + New Documentary On Local History

Morning, everybody. It's me, Michelle Paul, your host of the Albuquerque Daily — here to explain everything you need to know about what's happening in town.

But first, your local weather:

• Friday: Times of clouds and sun. High: 51 Low: 30.
• Saturday: Mostly sunny. High: 58 Low: 30.

📢 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 readers to local businesses they need to know. If that's you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories in Albuquerque today:

1. A Soviet missile will be making the trip to the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History here in Albuquerque to be part of the museum's outdoor exhibit. The demilitarized missile will arrive at the museum sometime Saturday morning after traveling from its former home in a New Mexico National Guard storage unit. (KOB 4)
2. A new documentary is highlighting the history of two Albuquerque neighborhoods and how they eventually grew to become multicultural hubs in the city. The film is the seventh installment in the series "Neighborhoods at a Crossroads" and focuses on the South Broadway and Kirtland Community neighborhoods. The documentary film will be available to watch for free at the South Broadway Cultural Center on Feb. 9. (KRQE News 13)
3. A local family is seeking the public's help to identify a driver who killed a mother of two in a fatal accident in Albuquerque early Friday morning. The driver left the stolen car they had been driving at the accident scene and took off on foot. They are still at large. (KRQE News 13)
