"Don't Demo Roof Depot" graffiti on retaining wall along Interstate 35W in Minneapolis.

Graffiti reading "DON'T DEMO ROOF DEPOT" is visible on a retaining wall along Interstate 35W in Minneapolis. This message reflects an ongoing dispute over the former Roof Depot site, a former EPA Superfund site in South Minneapolis. Environmental groups and community activists oppose the city's plan to develop public works facilities on the land, advocating instead for housing and an urban farm.
