Here are the top three stories in Albuquerque today:

1. A list of Albuquerque restaurant inspections has been posted. There are three status conditions according to the inspection key. All of the restaurants currently on the list are in the green status but more restaurants will be posted today. A restaurant can be downgraded or closed based on the inspection status. (Albuquerque Journal)
2. Luggage For Kids is collecting suitcases for children transitioning into New Mexico's foster care system. All suitcases and donations will be given to Red Mountain Family Services - a treatment foster care agency for local children. The suitcase drive was on Saturday but donations can still be made by clicking the link. (KOB)
3. New Mexico Renaissance Celtic Festival is coming to the Wildlife West Nature Park on Mar. 25 through Mar. 27. The festival was originally scheduled for 2020 but was continually pushed back due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The Albuquerque Jackals, a steel weapons and armor fighting group, will be headlining the event while providing medieval entertainment for attendees. (Albuquerque Journal)
