Good morning, this is Minneapolis Local Pulse for Saturday, June 21, 2025. We’re starting our day under a NEXT Weather Alert as dangerous heat and humidity settle in, with temperatures pushing near 90 by midday and heat indices reaching the upper 90s. Meteorologists are urging folks to take extra care if spending time outside, especially at events or parks today. This heat is expected to last through the weekend, so stay hydrated and check in on neighbors and family.

Looking at city hall, the city continues to move forward on police reforms even after a recent federal court setback. Minneapolis leadership has committed to implementing all provisions negotiated in the consent decree, reinforcing a focus on constitutional policing and community partnerships to keep us safe and build trust in public safety.

Turning to breaking news and public safety, the city is still reeling after the tragic targeted shooting of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark earlier this week at their home. The suspect, identified as Vance Boelter, remains in custody, and the case is being investigated as politically motivated. Last night, hundreds gathered at Champlin Park High School for a unity event, coming together in grief and hope, choosing healing and community over fear. No other major incidents have been reported in Minneapolis in the past 24 hours.

On the lighter side, Minneapolis adds to its culinary reputation as two local chefs brought home James Beard Awards this week, with our food scene receiving national recognition. In business news, several new coffee shops and small eateries are opening across the North Loop and Uptown, bringing fresh flavors to local storefronts, while a few longtime retailers on Hennepin Avenue have announced summer closures due to rising rents, underscoring the city’s changing retail landscape.

In real estate, the average home price in Minneapolis now sits at just under four hundred twenty thousand dollars, with inventory remaining tight but new listings ticking up as summer heats up. On the job front, the city unemployment rate is holding steady near four percent, with major employers in healthcare and tech hosting job fairs downtown this week, offering dozens of new openings for local workers.

There’s no shortage of summer fun this weekend, from Juneteenth celebrations in Powderhorn Park to the ever-popular Cat Tour, which has drawn national attention and is expected to see record turnout. For music lovers, the Stone Arch Bridge Festival is in full swing with local bands performing all afternoon.

In school news, Minneapolis South High’s basketball team made it to the regional finals, and coach Eric Rolland of Augsburg University is heading to a national golf tournament, bringing local pride to the greens.

Before we go, a quick feel-good note: a Minneapolis teacher has been helping high school basketball players get noticed by college coaches, opening doors for the next generation of local athletes.

This has been Minneapolis Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
