Chicago-Lake Liquors, Minneapolis, Boarded Post-Protest

Chicago-Lake Liquors, a retail establishment on Lake Street in Minneapolis, stands with its windows boarded up. The boarding occurred in late May 2020 following nights of protests in Minneapolis and across the nation, sparked by the death of George Floyd. Graffiti, including the phrase "Fuck 12" on a concrete barrier, reflects the public sentiment during the Minneapolis Uprising. As a prominent liquor store in the area, Chicago-Lake Liquors typically serves customers through both walk-in and drive-in services. The boarded storefronts became a widespread visual marker of the widespread civil unrest and community response during this period.
