Broadway Ave McDonald’s Boarded After 2020 Minneapolis Uprising

The McDonald's restaurant on Broadway Avenue in North Minneapolis is shown with its windows boarded, a common protective measure taken by businesses during the 2020 Minneapolis Uprising. This period of civil unrest followed the May 25, 2020 death of George Floyd, leading to widespread protests and property damage, including fires, across the city. Despite the boarded-up storefront, a sign indicates that the drive-thru service remains operational, demonstrating efforts by local establishments to adapt and continue serving residents. The boarded facade visually documents the significant impact of these events on commercial areas within Minneapolis.
