The Hop Wong Chinese Restaurant on Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis is seen boarded up, with a sign indicating it remains open for takeout and delivery services. The adjacent structure to the left is severely damaged by fire, its interior reduced to rubble. This image documents the impact on local businesses in the aftermath of the 2020 protests and civil unrest that followed the death of George Floyd on May 25th. The restaurant's efforts to continue operations reflect the resilience of community establishments during a period of significant disruption and recovery.
