Good morning, Minneapolis-Saint Paul. This is Morgan Riley with your local news update.
Word on the streets of Minneapolis-Saint Paul is buzzing about the recent snow emergency declarations. Several cities in the metro area, including Minneapolis and St. Paul, declared snow emergencies last week as a spring storm left behind heavy snowfall. Nearly 7.5 inches of snow fell in the Twin Cities, with some areas reporting up to 10 inches. Residents are reminded to follow parking restrictions to allow for proper snow removal.
In other news, the founder and leader of Minneapolis charter school Best Academy has been relieved of his duties following multiple lawsuits accusing two teachers of sexually abusing students. This development has sparked discussions about school safety and accountability in our community.
On a brighter note, let's turn our attention to a local place making waves in the culinary scene. Italian Eatery, a beloved south Minneapolis restaurant that closed early last year, has reopened under new ownership. The revived eatery is bringing back delicious favorites while also introducing new tastes to the neighborhood. It's heartening to see a community staple getting a second chance to serve our city.
Looking ahead to the weekend, St. Paul is gearing up for its annual St. Patrick's Day celebrations. The parade will take place on March 17th, starting at Rice Park and strolling along 5th Street to Mears Park. After the parade, head over to CHS Field for the Post-Parade Craic, featuring live music, food, and drinks from 12:30 to 2:30 PM.
As for the weather, temperatures are expected to drop below freezing overnight, so be cautious of potential slick spots during your Monday morning commute. Bundle up and drive safely, folks.
Before we wrap up, I'd like to touch on a larger theme we're seeing in our community. The reopening of Italian Eatery and the upcoming St. Patrick's Day celebrations remind us of the resilience and spirit of our Twin Cities. Even in the face of challenges, we come together to support local businesses and celebrate our diverse cultural heritage.
