Good morning, Minneapolis-Saint Paul! This is Morgan Riley with your trusted local news update. Word on the streets of Minneapolis-Saint Paul is that there’s no shortage of stories shaping our community this week. Let’s dive into today’s top headlines.
Over the weekend, thousands gathered at the State Capitol in St. Paul to participate in the nationwide "Hands Off!" protest. The movement is part of a broader push opposing policies tied to former President Trump and Elon Musk. Demonstrators here in Minnesota, along with counterparts in cities like Duluth and Rochester, stood in solidarity against what they describe as threats to personal freedoms. The event was peaceful and featured passionate speeches calling for unity and collective action.
On a more uplifting note, Como Zoo in St. Paul welcomed an adorable new resident—a two-toed sloth. Visitors lucky enough to witness the birth last week were thrilled by the rare and extraordinary moment. This addition to the zoo emphasizes the importance of conservation and education programs that bring Minnesotans closer to unique wildlife.
Looking at our community events this week, spring is in full bloom. If you’re looking for something to spark your creativity, be sure to check out the "Dinosaurs: Land of Fire and Ice" exhibit at the Children’s Museum of Minnesota, where kids and adults can dig for fossils and explore ancient ecosystems. Over at the Minnesota History Center, the “Girlhood: It’s Complicated” exhibit highlights the inspiring stories of young women shaping history. Plus, for music lovers, the Mississippi Valley Orchestra will perform Mozart's Requiem tomorrow evening in Arden Hills—a must-see for classical music enthusiasts.
Now let’s talk weather. After last week's late-season snowfall, we’re finally seeing improvement. Today, expect partly cloudy skies with a high of 49°F and a light breeze. As we move into midweek, temperatures will climb into the upper 50s, with plenty of sunshine to brighten the days. It’s a perfect time to get out and enjoy the city’s parks and trails.
Before we wrap up, I want to leave you with a thought about connection to our city. Whether it’s coming together to advocate for our beliefs, celebrating a newborn sloth, or exploring local culture, it’s these moments that remind us of the shared community spirit here in Minneapolis-Saint Paul. Let’s continue to support one another and the places that make this region truly special.
