Riot damaged buildings on Chicago Ave in Minneapolis.

Damaged commercial buildings stand on the 2900 block of Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis, showing the aftermath of civil unrest in May 2020. These retail establishments, including U-7 Nails, sustained significant fire and looting damage following the death of George Floyd. Graffiti on a boarded-up storefront references George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, underscoring the social justice themes of the protests. The extensive damage to these local businesses reflects the profound and lasting impact of the events on the city's urban fabric and community.
