    Nov 22 2024
    Good morning, this is your Local Frequency Flagstaff for Friday, November 22, 2024.

    We start with breaking news from the past few days. The City of Flagstaff, Coconino County, and Coconino National Forest are currently under Stage 2 fire restrictions, which began earlier this year due to high fire danger[1]. It's a reminder to be cautious and follow all safety guidelines when outdoors.

    In cultural news, Asteroid Day Flagstaff was celebrated at Lowell Observatory and Meteor Crater, offering a unique public event centered around asteroids and their impact on Earth[1]. For those interested in local history, Hasbro recently announced "Monopoly: Flagstaff," and residents are invited to contribute to this special edition of the game[1].

    Moving to sports, while there are no major local sports updates at this time, we encourage everyone to support our local teams and athletes.

    In the job market, there are no major hiring announcements or new job postings from top local employers to report today. However, we recommend checking local job boards for the latest opportunities.

    In real estate, there are no notable commercial or residential property sales or new development projects to highlight today. For those interested in the housing market, we suggest checking local listings for the latest median home prices and inventory levels.

    From city hall, residents are reminded that arguments for and against proposed election questions must be submitted by specific deadlines before elections[1]. The city also launched a new platform to inform residents about trash collection and other local services[1].

    Weather-wise, we're expecting a slight warm-up across Arizona after a period of below-average conditions[2]. This should make outdoor activities more pleasant over the weekend.

    In new business activity, there are no major openings or closings to report today. However, we encourage everyone to support local businesses and explore new establishments in our community.

    Looking ahead to community events, there are no specific events scheduled for the next few days, but we recommend checking local event calendars for upcoming activities.

    In local school news, there are no specific achievements or sports results to highlight today. However, we're proud of all our local students and athletes for their hard work and dedication.

    For those looking for great deals, we suggest checking local grocery stores and restaurants for special offers and promotions.

    Finally, in a feel-good community story, Mitchell Raff established two planned gifts totaling $1.5 million to support Northern Arizona University’s Martin-Springer Institute, which raises awareness of human rights through education and outreach[1].
