Good morning, St. Cloud.

A 35-year-old semi driver from St. Cloud was involved in a crash on Friday around 9:00 a.m. on Highway 71 near Bertha in Todd County + an 80-year-old driver from Eagle Bend was injured and taken to Lakewood Hospital, while the St. Cloud driver was unharmed.

Local historian Jim Grabinski explained on WJON that drive-in restaurants thrived in the 1960s until fast food changed the scene when the first McDonald's opened in March 1970 on 21st Ave and Division—its grand opening featured Ronald McDonald and Mayor Ed Henry before other chains followed. He noted that long-time favorites like Maid Rite, which operated downtown from 1948 until 1978, also helped shape St. Cloud's fast food history.

Melrose is a town of 3,598 (located along I‑94 and Highway 52) that was named after a Scottish town by early settlers like Robert Wheeler and Moses Adley in 1857.

It grew as a railroad division point and now has a 40% Latino community with diverse local businesses.
