NORTH METRO TV NEWS

The days of using paper tickets to get into an event are going the way of the pay phone. That includes high school sports in the Anoka-Hennepin district, where schools such as Blaine have gone cashless.

Over two decades ago the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the US changed the world as we knew it. Life has slowly gone on, but in the North Metro there are people making sure we never forget that moment in time.

The Blaine City Council held a special meeting on August 31, 2023 where the only major agenda item was to vote on pulling school resource officers out of schools. Blaine officers worked in four schools across three districts, providing police in both high schools and middle schools.
But for now, that’s coming to an end.

For the first time since 2017 Metro Transit has express service going to the Minnesota State Fair from Blaine. Fair-goers can hop on a bus at the Park and Ride on 95th Avenue NE and I-35W and go straight to the fairgrounds and not have to deal with parking or traffic hassles.
