Can you say this:
"I'm doing business in Alameda right now. Will be back later tonight."
Would a native speaker say this?

I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but maybe it's somewhat un-native like or you wouldn't hear a native speaker say it. Would it be better to say this:You might hear it. What do you think might be wrong with it? You need to remember that when we speak, we don't consciously form grammatical sentences so there is a difference between what we might say and what we might write. There will also be a difference depending on our audience.
