Good morning, Glendale.

The Glendale Historical Society told how the city changed from unpaved streets with horses in 1910 to a lively area with landmarks like the 1909 Gillett Building and events such as the 1921 storm that changed local buildings.

A Glendale family lost everything when a fire burned down their apartment on Thanksgiving Day; they escaped safely and are now staying in an Airbnb while raising funds for a new home via a GoFundMe campaign.

A new $22 million Child Development Center will be built at Luke AFB to ease child care challenges for military families in Glendale.

The on-base facility, advocated by Senators Gallego and Kelly, is expected to serve 250 to 300 children (infants, toddlers, and preschoolers).

The Palo Verde Fiesta Sports Foundation Wishes for Teachers initiative donated $1.5 million to 540 Arizona teachers, including several Glendale educators, with $2,500 classroom wishes each.
