  • Summary

  • Good morning, this is Minneapolis Local Pulse for January 3, 2025.

    We're starting off the new year with some breaking news. Authorities in western Wisconsin are investigating the deaths of three people, including two juveniles, and are searching for a person of interest who is considered armed and dangerous[1]. Closer to home, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is touting the city's progress and outlining concerns for 2025, emphasizing significant strides made in the past year[1].

    In the job market, we're seeing a robust start to the year. Indeed.com lists over 1,500 job openings in Minneapolis, with positions ranging from customer service to registered nurses and inventory analysts[2]. Notably, a new pay transparency law went into effect on January 1, requiring employers with more than 30 employees to disclose salary ranges and benefits in job postings[5].

    Moving to real estate, while there are no major property sales or development updates to report today, we're keeping an eye on the market for any significant changes. Weekly median home prices and inventory levels remain steady, but we'll provide updates as new data becomes available.

    From City Hall, the Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara is addressing his force about a potential consent decree with the U.S. Department of Justice, a development that could impact policing practices in the city[1].

    Weather-wise, it's going to be a chilly day with highs barely breaking 20 degrees in the Twin Cities. This cold snap might affect outdoor activities, but there are plenty of indoor events to enjoy. For instance, the Land O'Lakes Kennel Club Dog Show is happening at the St. Paul RiverCentre from January 2 to 5, offering a fun outing for families[4].

    In new business activity, a highly nostalgic gaming spot has opened in St. Paul, bringing a modern twist for gamers of all ages[1]. On the other hand, The 19 Bar, the oldest LGBTQ+ bar in Minnesota, was targeted by a burglar, highlighting the need for community support in rebuilding efforts[1].

    Looking ahead to community events, this weekend offers a variety of activities, including ice fishing and candlelight walks[4]. Local schools are back in session, and we'll be keeping an eye on any notable achievements or sports results.

    On a positive note, Emily Roth, president of the Minnesota Children of the American Revolution, has chosen to help homeless veterans as her state project, demonstrating the impact of community service[1].

    In today's crime report, a security guard at a downtown Minneapolis bar is in custody following a stabbing early Saturday morning[1]. Additionally, charges have been filed against a drunk driver who hit and killed a mother one day before her birthday in St. Louis Park[1].

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