Uptown Minneapolis: Fire at Hennepin & Lagoon after protests

Dumpster Fires in Uptown Minneapolis
Fires burn at the intersection of Hennepin Avenue and Lagoon Avenue in Uptown Minneapolis on June 3, 2021, following protests. The unrest occurred in the days after Winston Smith, a Black man, was killed by police. The area, a commercial and residential hub, experienced significant disruption. The "Cowboy Slim's" sign is visible in the background, a long-standing establishment in the neighborhood.
