The K-Mart site in South Minneapolis, located on Lake Street, served as a temporary post office from November 2020 to late summer 2023. The site, which previously housed a K-Mart, is now a vacant lot marked by a banner asking "GET A SAY IN WHAT HAPPENS ON THIS SITE?". The K-Mart property has been a long hated property as it sat right in the middle of Nicollet Avenue. The demolition of the property brings hopes to open the road back up to through traffic.
