このコンテンツについて
We begin with a tragic story that’s weighed heavily on the community. Yesterday morning, a motorized scooter crash in St. Paul’s Riverview neighborhood claimed the life of a 14-year-old boy and left another 13-year-old boy fighting for his life at Regions Hospital. Police say the boys ran a stop sign at Ohio and George streets and were struck by a pickup truck; the truck driver is cooperating, and there’s no indication of impairment. The Traffic and Pedestrian Safety Unit continues to investigate. Our hearts go out to the families and friends impacted by this heartbreaking accident.
On a more personal note, it’s stories like these that remind us how deeply connected our neighborhoods are—when tragedy strikes, the Twin Cities show up for one another. Community members have already begun leaving flowers and notes at the intersection, and local advocates are calling for renewed focus on street safety, echoing conversations that have echoed through city council chambers and neighborhood meetings alike.
Turning now to a local hero—St. Paul’s own Raymonda Washington recently received a national heroism award for rescuing a man from a burning car. Moments like these, filled with courage and quick thinking, highlight the best of our community, capturing the same spirit that’s kept the Twin Cities resilient through history, from our early milling days to today’s bustling arts and tech scenes.
Weather in the metro is shaping up beautifully after record heat last week. Expect clear skies tonight with mild lows, and daytime highs comfortably in the upper 70s to low 80s heading into the weekend. Perfect timing as Minneapolis gears up for the much-anticipated Red, White and Boom celebration tomorrow night—fireworks return to downtown along the river, with live music and food trucks at Water Works Park starting at 6 p.m. On the east side, St. Paul will host the Minnesota Yacht Club Festival July 18th through 20th at Harriet Island with major acts including Green Day and Hozier. If community festivals are your style, keep an eye out for Rondo Days and the Little Mekong Night Market later this month.
As we reflect on today’s news, let’s remember that the stories we share—whether somber or uplifting—are threads in the larger fabric of life here: one of resilience, care, and coming together. Like the classic sounds of the Replacements or the new murals brightening Uptown, the Twin Cities’ strength lies in the way we lift each other up.
