Listen ""Sunday in Minneapolis: Crime, Weather, and Community Highlights""
Episode Synopsis
Good morning, this is Minneapolis Local Pulse for Sunday, September 28, 2025.We start our day in Minneapolis with the latest on public safety. Friday night brought a scare downtown as a shooting on the 700 block of Hennepin Avenue sent three men to the hospital with non-life-threatening wounds. Police say the suspect fled before officers arrived and, at this moment, no arrests have been made. On the northeast side Friday, a man was shot outside a business near Central and 18th Avenues; his injuries are also non-life-threatening, and authorities are still working to identify the shooter. In a tragic incident Saturday afternoon, a man lost his life after being struck by both a car and a bus while crossing mid-block at Franklin Avenue East and Cedar Avenue South. Both drivers stayed at the scene and are cooperating with police. The victim’s identity has not yet been released. Our condolences go out to his loved ones.Turning to weather, we’re waking up to a cool, gray Sunday. Today brings lingering clouds with temperatures staying in the mid-50s, so you’ll want a jacket if you’re headed out. We have a slight chance of light showers later in the afternoon. Expect these mild fall temps to continue through midweek, giving us some perfect sweater weather.City hall has been buzzing as discussions continue on property tax assessments and affordable housing. This week, councilmembers are set to vote on additional funding for small business recovery, reflecting ongoing efforts to rebound our local economy, especially for independent shops across Nicollet and Lake.For Minneapolis families, there’s plenty to do today. The Linden Hills Fall Festival takes over Linden Hills Park from noon to 6, promising live music, food vendors, and activities for all ages including Wild Rumpus story time at 1:30. Vintage lovers won’t want to miss the True Vintage Show at the State Fairgrounds’ North End Event Center—a treasure trove of curated clothing and home goods. The Twin Cities Arab Film Fest wraps up at the Main Cinema today, spotlighting independent filmmakers from the Arab world in a celebration of global culture and art.The job market in Minneapolis remains steady. Unemployment hovers near 3 percent, and new job postings continue to favor positions in healthcare, education, and tech. This week, we’re seeing several well-known downtown eateries hiring as they gear up for shorter days and busy fall evenings.On the real estate front, the average single-family home price in Minneapolis sits just above 350 thousand dollars. Open houses are happening all weekend, so those looking to buy this fall will find a competitive but active market, with newly renovated listings around Powderhorn Park and Northeast drawing particular interest.A highlight in local schools—South High’s robotics team took home top honors at this weekend’s Twin Cities Robotics Challenge, making the city proud with their creative engineering and teamwork.On a lighter note, neighbors came together yesterday to rebuild community garden beds at Powderhorn Park, donating time and plants to help boost fresh produce access for families across the area. Their effort is a simple but powerful reminder that small acts can bring big change.To wrap up, as we head into another beautiful Minneapolis fall day, remember to stay aware of your surroundings, support local events, and reach out to a neighbor.
