Historic site gets a face-lift Albuquerque
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — This is a historic Albuquerque site, but it's mostly gone unused for years. Not only is the city trying to change it, in the future of the Albuquerque Rail Yards, Election Day will play a big part. The famous room in the center of town on Saturday had a makeover and a crowd.
"Everyone just wanted to get out there, enjoy the sunshine, enjoy the food trucks, enjoy the music," said Allison Duffus, event attendant. In celebrating the end of the 11-month campaign, Mayor Tim Keller joined other city dignitaries.
"They wanted to show that we can get things done when we have the money and the layout and help for the community," Keller said.
Some of the people who have appeared on Saturday are planning ahead, "I'm really getting married soon, so I was like ' you guys are married, right? ' So I think that's going to be great for that," Duffus said. And that will depend on building around the square, which is not expected to be completed until next summer.
Voters would also assess how much more will occur if they vote to approve a city bond of $128 million. Keller said that $5 million of that bond would go to the Rail Yard for continued improvement, and that would not be a tax increase.

MILWAUKEE — Bounce Milwaukee's co-owner, Ryan Clancy, cracked a world record by playing pinball for just over 30 consecutive hours on Saturday.
The challenge was also an attempt to raise money for Children's Wisconsin, formerly known as Wisconsin Children's Hospital, where his son Alex had been treated years ago for kidney failure.
"That was really scary. He'd been sick for around six weeks, and we didn't really point it out," said Clancy. "I thought it would be a great opportunity to raise some funds for that and ensure that other kids had the same great care that Alex used to have."
Clancy stated that the rules are tiring, but nothing like the daily challenges facing Children's Wisconsin's patients. For each hour of unbroken play, Clancy was allowed a five-minute break. The former record was 30 hours and 10 minutes in 2016 for the longest pinball play.
He used to have a crowd just after 3 p.m. to support him and cheer him on ." it was really awesome to see the community support we had on this, "Clancy said.
MILWAUKEE — Halloween may have come and went, but Wisconsin is still home to one of the world's most famous Halloween legends. Houdini is such a famous name that almost a century after his mysterious death it is still familiar.
"Houdini was definitely one of the best-known figures in American culture at his death," said Ellie Gettinger, director of education at the Milwaukee Jewish Museum.
A display as shown at Milwaukee Jewish Exhibition highlights the world-famous escape artist and magician and his not-so-known Milwaukee attachment.
"The man is dying on Halloween. Houdini is dying on Halloween, of course. On what other day can he die?" said Gettinger. As just a skeptic among all mystic and supernatural things, on his death bed he made a promise to his wife. "If anybody can come back from beyond the grave, it's me," said Gettinger, citing Houdini.
His widow held a meeting every year for a decade after his death on the night of Halloween. Still, it's another tradition, but they're still waiting to hear from Houdini. The show "Inescapable: Harry Houdini's Life and Legacy," runs until Jan. 5 at the Milwaukee Jewish Museum.

On Monday night, police were reported to have shot Adarsh in Lal Bagh. The police admitted him to the injured Babu Jagjivan Ram Hospital, where doctors declared him dead. During investigation, it was revealed that Adarsh had come to the birthday party of one of his friends living in Lal Bagh.
The police investigated and identified the accused and raided their hideouts. Aadhar's uncle Rajendra told that there is a dispute with his family about a miscreant named Mukesh Bona. The Bona Gang miscreants had threatened to kill Adarsh, who had also complained to the police, but the police had not taken any action. Ten days ago, the miscreants shot Adarsh's leg, whose complaint is lodged in the police station.
