Hoffmantown Center

The Z Coil store in Hoffmantown Center is one of two closing in Albuquerque. The company's North Valley store will remain open. The Hoffmantown Center store's lease still has some time to run; what arrangement are being made about that is not known.

Ernest Duran, 73, longtime employee at Hoffmantown Barber Shop in the center, died October 15. He had suffered a severe epileptic seizure in July and gone on part-time status thereafter, last working at the shop on Oct. 4. Before July, Mr. Duran worked fulltime there for 12 years.

Police Situation in INA

On the evening of Oct. 1, police chased two men up Espanola St. and then east along Euclid St. through the Zuni Park neighborhood and into Inez neighborhood.  They called in a canine unit and helicopters, which circled repeatedly with infra-red lights trying to find the pair. The men are alleged to have stolen something from the area of Winrock Center and then clashed with police. While the noise was bothersome, we should be pleased that police were so quick to respond to a problem in our area.
