À propos de cet audio

 Good morning, this is Minneapolis Local Pulse for Saturday, January tenth. We wake up today with our city still focused on the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Good in south Minneapolis on Wednesday. According to Minnesota Public Radio and other outlets, Renee, a 37 year old mother of three, was shot in her SUV on a snowy street just a few blocks from her home after ICE agents surrounded her vehicle. New video released by federal officials shows the encounter from the agent’s perspective, while local leaders, including Mayor Jacob Frey, continue to call for an independent, transparent investigation. City Hall is asking for calm but also for what they call real accountability. That sets the stage for nationwide ICE Out for Good vigils and protests today and tomorrow. Organizers expect thousands to gather at federal buildings along Third Avenue South, near the Hennepin County Government Center, and at community spaces around Lake Street and Franklin Avenue. If we are driving downtown or near Cedar Riverside this afternoon and evening, we should plan for rolling street closures and heavier police and federal presence. Our weather shapes the day too. We are looking at cloudy skies, light snow showers on and off, and temps hovering in the mid 20s. Side streets in neighborhoods like Powderhorn and Northeast are still slick, so we leave extra time if we are heading to events. The good news is winds stay light and the cold is manageable for outdoor marches, with a gradual warmup and sunshine returning early next week. Around town, new business activity continues despite the tension. Along Nicollet Mall, a new locally owned coffee and cowork space has opened near Eighth Street, while a longtime boutique on Hennepin is closing after more than twenty years. Commercial brokers say downtown office vacancies remain high, around one in four spaces, but warehouse and industrial buildings in North Minneapolis and along the river are close to fully leased. In housing, agents report that the median single family home price in Minneapolis is holding just under four hundred thousand dollars, with condos downtown closer to three hundred thousand. Rents for a typical one bedroom near the University of Minnesota sit around fourteen hundred a month, slightly higher in the North Loop and slightly lower along Lake Street. For jobs, state data show the Twin Cities unemployment rate holding near three percent, with strong demand for nurses, teachers, software developers, and skilled trades. Hospitals along Chicago Avenue and major health systems across the river are offering sign on bonuses, and Metro Transit is still hiring bus and light rail operators with paid training. Culturally, we have plenty to lift our spirits. At Orchestra Hall, the Minnesota Orchestra is in the middle of a January run that includes Sibelius programs next weekend. First Avenue and the 7th Street Entry are stacked with local bands all week, and the tattoo convention at the Hyatt Regency on Nicollet is drawing artists and visitors from around the country through tomorrow. The Minneapolis American Indian Center on Franklin Avenue is also hosting a family friendly cultural gathering today, with language, art, and food. In schools, several Minneapolis high school robotics teams have just qualified for upcoming regional competitions, and winter sports are in full swing. South and Roosevelt basketball teams picked up key conference wins last night, and Minneapolis girls hockey programs report growing numbers, especially at the youth level. On public safety, Minneapolis police and federal agencies report several arrests at protests near the federal building yesterday evening after officers deployed flash bangs and chemical irritants to disperse crowds. Officials say most gatherings remained peaceful. Elsewhere, investigators are looking into a series of overnight car break ins in Uptown around Lagoon Avenue and Girard, and they remind us not to leave valuables visible in parked cars. We end with one feel good story. On the North Side, neighbors along Plymouth Avenue came together yesterday to clear sidewalks and bus stops for elders heading to clinic appointments, turning what could have been a quiet, tense morning into a small festival of shovels, coffee, and conversation. Thank you for tuning in, and please remember to subscribe so we can keep bringing our city together each day. This has been Minneapolis Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
