Good morning, this is Minneapolis Local Pulse for March 22, 2025.
We're waking up to a chilly but sunny Saturday morning here in Minneapolis. Today's high will reach 45 degrees, perfect for enjoying some outdoor activities before rain moves in tomorrow.
Breaking news overnight: Minneapolis police successfully de-escalated a situation involving a person in crisis with a gun in south Minneapolis. Gunshots were heard inside a home, but thankfully, the incident ended with an arrest and no reported injuries. This comes as the city continues to see improvements in public safety, with crime rates down significantly in recent months.
In city hall news, Mayor Jacob Frey reaffirmed Minneapolis's commitment to being a safe haven for undocumented immigrants and the transgender community during a town hall meeting. This stance comes amid ongoing national debates about immigration and LGBTQ+ rights.
On the job front, we've got good news. A recent survey shows Minnesota ranks as the third-best state for finding jobs in 2025. Minneapolis is leading the charge, with a projected 20% growth in tech roles this year. Industries like cloud computing, cybersecurity, and AI are driving this boom. If you're in the job market, now's a great time to explore opportunities in our growing tech sector.
In real estate, the housing market remains strong. Recent data shows home sales up in most Minneapolis neighborhoods, with some areas seeing double-digit increases compared to last year. The average home price in the city now sits at around $350,000.
Culturally, we're in for a treat this weekend. The Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival kicks off today, featuring the groundbreaking documentary "Acts of Reparation." This film explores themes of history and race, promising to spark important conversations in our community.
For music lovers, don't miss Zubah performing live tonight at the Skyway Theatre's Loft. Known for their raw energy and powerful drops, it's sure to be an unforgettable show.
Sports fans, get ready for some hockey action. The Minnesota Wild face off against the Buffalo Sabres this afternoon at the Xcel Energy Center. Puck drops at 1 PM, and there's a special $6 happy hour before the game.
Looking ahead, mark your calendars for next weekend's "Minneapolis Murder Mystery: Death in the Shadows" event. It's an interactive experience where participants follow clues to solve a fictional crime - perfect for amateur sleuths and thrill-seekers alike.
On a heartwarming note, Cedar Island Elementary in Maple Grove has formed a rock music band, showcasing the power of music education in our schools. The kids are already rocking out before the morning bell - talk about starting the day on a high note!
