  • Résumé

  • Good morning, this is Minneapolis Local Pulse for Friday, February 14, 2025. We're starting off with some breaking news: U.S. Sen. Tina Smith announced yesterday that she will not run for reelection next year, leaving a currently Democrat-held seat open ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Not long after Smith's declaration, Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan announced her intention to run for the Senate.

    In other news, a water main break is causing a huge, icy mess along a busy southwest Minneapolis thoroughfare, specifically around 50th and Penn. This comes as we're expecting another round of snow to hit Minnesota and Wisconsin today, just as Valentine's Day dinner plans are getting underway. WCCO meteorologist Adam Del Rosso has your latest forecast, including important information you need to know about this incoming snow system.

    On the job front, there are over 2,700 jobs available in Minneapolis, ranging from teaching positions to customer service representatives and more. Notably, U.S. Bank National Association is offering a 2025 Finance Rotational Development Program starting in June, and there are various leadership development programs available for recent graduates.

    In the world of entertainment, the Minneapolis Flyfest Ski Jumping Competition is happening this weekend at Bush Lake Ski Jump in Bloomington. The February Art Fair is also taking place at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum in Chaska, featuring over 45 vendors offering paintings, jewelry, plants, and more. For a unique Valentine's Day experience, the Minnesota Zoo is hosting an After Hours event on Saturday, complete with a silent dance party and love-themed tours.

    In sports, the Minnesota Timberwolves had a close game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night, ultimately losing 103-101. On a brighter note, Giddy Unongo, a swimmer with autism at Minneapolis Southwest, is thriving with the help of two coaches.

    On the cultural front, the Luminary Loppet took place on Lake of the Isles earlier this week, offering a magical candlelit trail for walking, snowshoeing, or skiing. Upcoming events include the Ultimate RV Show at the Minneapolis Convention Center and the Midwest's largest golf show, also at the Convention Center.

    In real estate news, JoAnn Fabrics announced they're closing 12 stores in Minnesota as part of a nationwide closure of 500 stores.

    In crime news, police are investigating after a pedestrian was struck by a car in St. Paul on Wednesday evening. Additionally, investigators think three burglars arrested in Ohio last month could be connected to a string of high-end heists in Minnesota.

    Finally, for a feel-good story, Regions Hospital and Children's Minnesota shared photos of their tiniest patients dressed to the nines for Halloween, bringing smiles to everyone's faces.

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