Former K-Mart, Lake Street, Minneapolis: Murals & USPS Fencing

The former K-Mart building on Lake Street in Minneapolis displays vibrant murals behind a newly installed chain-link fence. These artworks emerged following the 2020 Minneapolis Uprising, transforming the vacant retail space into a canvas for community expression and calls for justice. The fencing in the parking lot indicates preparations for the United States Postal Service to occupy the site, marking a significant repurposing of the commercial property. This location reflects both the city's recent history of protest and its ongoing adaptation of urban infrastructure.
