Good morning, this is Minneapolis Local Pulse for November 29, 2024.

We're starting with some breaking news from the past few days. A fatal shooting occurred on Thanksgiving in Minneapolis, with police investigating the incident that left a 23-year-old man dead. The shooter ran away, and the case remains under investigation[2][4].

In other news, the Minnesota State Fair is getting a head start on Black Friday with a Tuesday-only flash sale on 2025 tickets. If you're planning to attend next year, now's the time to grab those tickets at a discounted price[2].

Moving on to the job market, we don't have any major hiring announcements or new job postings from top local employers to share today. However, Best Buy, the nation's largest consumer electronics chain, reported another quarterly drop in sales as Americans continue to tighten their purse strings on appliances and gadgets to focus on essentials[2].

In real estate, we're seeing a steady market with no notable commercial or residential property sales to report today. However, property taxes are rising across the Twin Cities area, with some areas seeing significant increases. If you're a homeowner, it's worth checking how these changes might affect you[5].

From city hall, we have an update on the cannabis business licenses. The state's first cannabis lottery was put on hold after several people filed lawsuits claiming they were unfairly excluded. This development adds uncertainty to when the state might start issuing licenses[4].

Weather-wise, it's going to be a chilly day with scattered flurries expected. Temperatures will remain low, with a high of 13 degrees and a low of 10 degrees tonight. Make sure to bundle up if you're planning to be outdoors[1][3].

In new business activity, we have a mix of openings and closings. The bubble tea chain is moving into the former Caribou Coffee on St. Paul's Grand Avenue, offering another spot for tea lovers. On the other hand, Uptown boutique Proper is closing after a decade in Minneapolis, though their Fargo location will remain open[3].

Looking ahead to community events, there are several holiday tree lightings and parades happening in the Twin Cities and Greater Minnesota over the next few days. Check out local listings for times and locations[2].

In local school achievements, Jackson County Central won the Class 2A state championship in high school football, beating Staples-Motley 42-26. Congratulations to the team on their victory[5].

For a feel-good community story, volunteers in Eden Prairie are working hard to save a natural spring water well that's come under threat. Their dedication to preserving this natural marvel is truly inspiring[2].

Finally, in today's crime report, we have a few incidents to mention. A man was fatally shot inside an apartment on Thanksgiving, and another man was shot during a possible drug deal in Minneapolis' Dinkytown neighborhood. Police are investigating both cases[2][4].

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