Let’s begin with breaking news: Early this morning, Minneapolis police responded to a fatal shooting on the north side. A man was shot while riding an electric scooter. The incident happened near the intersection of 21st Avenue North and Penn Avenue. Police continue their investigation; there is no suspect in custody at this time and anyone with information is urged to contact the authorities. In other safety news, first responders rescued eight people from the Crow River yesterday after their tubes flipped, a reminder to be vigilant when enjoying our area’s waterways.
At City Hall, we’re seeing the impact of recent council decisions on everyday life. The Minneapolis City Council has enacted broader employee protections, making it illegal for employers within city limits to discriminate based on height, weight, housing status, or justice-impacted status, which includes a person’s criminal record. These changes aim to help more people find and keep jobs right here in Minneapolis.
Now, on to the holiday weekend events. Downtown is buzzing with the Taste of Minnesota festival along Washington Avenue and Nicollet Mall today and tomorrow. Expect street closures on 3rd Street South and Marquette Avenue, but good news: Metro Transit is offering free rides for festival-goers. Cooling stations are set up to help you beat the heat. The Minneapolis Convention Center is hosting the USA Volleyball Junior National Championship through Sunday, drawing families and teams from across the country. Over at Target Center, the Minnesota Lynx continue their home stand, taking on the Golden State Valkyries tonight.
If you’re a baseball fan, the Minnesota Twins are in the middle of a home series against the Tampa Bay Rays at Target Field. Last night, Harrison Bader hit a walk-off homer, sending fans home happy. In the community, the annual Red, White and Boom fireworks over the riverfront drew thousands last night. If you missed it, the city has several family-friendly events continuing this weekend.
In Minneapolis real estate, housing demand remains strong, but new listings are lagging slightly behind last year by about eight percent. The average home price in the city is now just over $390,000. On the job front, hospitality and summer recreation positions are still hiring, with many local businesses offering signing bonuses to attract workers.
One feel-good note: Abbey’s Hope, a local non-profit dedicated to water safety, is celebrating a major milestone this week, having educated more than 100,000 Minnesota children since its founding.
That’s the news making waves here at home. This has been Minneapolis Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
