Good morning, this is Minneapolis Local Pulse for Friday, March 28, 2025.
We're waking up to a chilly start here in Minneapolis, with temperatures in the low 30s. Bundle up if you're heading out early, but we'll see some sunshine later with highs reaching the mid-50s. Perfect weather for the outdoor events happening this weekend.
Breaking news this morning: The Minneapolis City Council has approved new contracts with community organizations aimed at reducing violence in the city. This decision comes after months of debate and public input. We'll be keeping an eye on how these partnerships develop in the coming weeks.
In a troubling incident yesterday, a 54-year-old man pleaded guilty to stabbing a teen at a Minneapolis recreation center last year. The case has raised concerns about safety in our public spaces, and city officials are promising increased security measures.
On a brighter note, let's talk about jobs. The Twin Cities job market is looking strong as we head into spring. A recent survey shows that over 85% of Minnesota manufacturers expect improving or similar business conditions for 2025 compared to last year. This optimism is translating into more job openings, especially in healthcare, technology, and manufacturing sectors. If you're job hunting, now might be a great time to polish up that resume.
In real estate news, the housing market in Minneapolis remains competitive. The average home price in the city is now around $350,000, up 5% from last year. Realtors are advising buyers to be prepared to move quickly when they find a property they like.
Exciting developments are happening in our local food scene. A popular bubble tea chain is moving into the former Caribou Coffee location on Grand Avenue in St. Paul. It's part of a growing trend of diverse food options in the Twin Cities.
Sports fans, here's one for you: The Minnesota Twins lost a close game to St. Louis yesterday, with a final score of 5-3. But don't worry, there's plenty of baseball season left!
Looking ahead to the weekend, don't miss the Janet Jackson concert at the Target Center tomorrow night. Tickets are still available, and it promises to be an unforgettable show.
In school news, congratulations to the robotics team from Edina High School, who just qualified for the national championships. We're proud of our local students showing off their STEM skills on the big stage.
Finally, a heartwarming story from our community. A student in Crow Wing County used a school bus radio to call for help when the driver experienced a medical emergency. Thanks to the quick thinking of this young hero, all 30 students on board were kept safe. It's a reminder of the importance of teaching our kids how to respond in emergencies.
