Community garden and murals at Lake Street and Chicago Ave, Minneapolis

The Midtown Exchange building, formerly the Sears, Roebuck and Company Mail-Order Warehouse, stands at the corner of Lake Street and Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis. This area became a focal point during the 2020 Minneapolis uprising, with community members transforming vacant lots into spaces for art and gardens. The murals visible in the background reflect the community's resilience and artistic expression in the wake of the unrest. The space continues to serve as a gathering place and a symbol of community revitalization.
