Wince Way Sign, Uptown Minneapolis

Wince Way sign in Uptown Minneapolis
A "Wince Way" sign, spray-painted with red and white markings, stands near security fencing outside the Lake & Girard parking ramp and Wince Marie Garden in Uptown Minneapolis. This area became a focal point during the 2020 Minneapolis Uprising, following the murder of George Floyd. The "Wince Way" designation appears to be a memorial or tribute, possibly related to graffiti artist Deona Marie Knajdek or Winston Smith, whose names are associated with the protest and memorial efforts in the area. The sign's altered state reflects the unrest and the community's response to events of that period.
