The race for mayor in Minneapolis has taken a turn after the state DFL Party decided to revoke the its endorsement of state Sen. Omar Fateh.
Tens of thousands of people passed through the gates at the Minnesota State Fair Thursday for the start of a 12-day run. While many people go to the State Fair to try new food or catch a show, the fair also includes several thousand 4-H members showing livestock or exhibiting crafts and projects. Those kids travel to the Twin Cities from all parts of Minnesota.
The pedestrian bridge over Como Avenue, just south of the fairgrounds, was missing Thursday. It was not installed for this year’s fair. The bridge built in 1965 connected parking lots to the Coliseum. Fair organizers say a structural engineer determined it was best not to install it.
Two people are jailed and charged in a shooting that left a 79-year-old Minneapolis woman critically injured early Sunday.

Construction work along Interstate 94 in the northwest Twin Cities metro could cause travel headaches this weekend. The freeway will be reduced to two lanes in each direction between Maple Grove and Rogers from 5 p.m. Friday through 5 a.m. Monday. Also, drivers who travel on Highway 10 in Coon Rapids will have to navigate single-lane traffic this weekend into early next week. That’s as a season-long construction project moves to its next phase.
