Hey, neighbors! Geoff Campbell here, with a brand-new Scottsdale Daily.

First, today's weather:

Beautiful! It will be partly sunny with a high of 88 and a low of 60.

Here are the top stories in Scottsdale today:

  1. Namaste y'all. Alo Yoga opened its newest and only Arizona store on Tuesday of this week in the Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall, according to reporting in the AZ Republic. "Scottsdale Fashion Square's shopper profile is an ideal fit as we introduce our luxury performance garments to a broader segment of fashion lovers," Marco DeGeorge, co-founder of Alo Yoga, said in the Republic's piece on the topic. Additionally, the readers were reminded that Alo Yoga products were first available in LA in 2007 and are endorsed by many Hollywood yogis. (The Arizona Republic)
  2. Scottsdale's Veterans Day program will be held at McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park beginning at 3 p.m. on Nov. 11, according to a City press release. The lineup of speakers includes Nikki Stratton, the granddaughter of Donald Stratton, a Pearl Harbor survivor who died last year. In addition, a new vessel carries the Arizona name, a submarine, of which Stratton is the sponsor. Other speakers will include James Fawbush, a veteran who now works with the Phoenix VA Health Care System in Phoenix. The event is free to the public. (Press Release Desk)
  3. What if the winning ticket to an unclaimed $1M AZ Powerball drawing was neatly tucked under your sugar bowl on the kitchen table? Well, if that's the case, and it was for the May 22 drawing, you have just under a month to find it and turn it in, according to reporting by Caitlin Sievers of Patch Media. Need a hint— you bought that ticket at the Circle K on Shea in Scottsdale the day before the drawing. As reported, "Arizona Lottery is urging Powerball players to look through their junk drawers, glove boxes and pockets to find the winning ticket and claim their prize." (Scottsdale Patch)
