Fans of eclectic films once again have a place to gather.
The Guild Cinema, 3405 Central NE in Nob Hill, has reopened at limited capacity. It has been more than a year since the cinema has been able to hold in-person public screenings after temporarily closing in mid-March 2020.
“We’ve been closed for public screenings for over a year, so that was a challenge,” said Keif Henley, owner of the Guild Cinema. “We did virtual cinema, you know; we did the occasional theater rental to very small groups, and so, yeah, we made it (through). We we were fortunate enough to get some good city grants that we’ve essentially burned through already, but it was great to get them. We feel fortunate and grateful for them.”

A mobile device built by Albuquerque startup RingIR Inc. could soon provide mass screening capability for coronavirus at highly congested settings like airports, with results in seconds.
The National Institutes of Health already financed initial testing on people at the University of New Mexico Hospital and at Emory University in Georgia with promising results. And follow-on funding through NIH’s Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics, or RADx, initiative is in the works to expand testing to more institutions across the country, said RingIR founder, President and CEO Charles Harb.
“The UNMH trial showed we had something potentially groundbreaking,” Harb told the Journal. “So RADx decided to extend its involvement.”

The South Valley in Albuquerque, New Mexico, was once a thriving oasis of food production watered by a network of historic irrigation canals, or
acequias. Today, it’s home to several historic neighborhoods along the Rio Grande, including Mountain View.
