Lake Street K-Mart Temporary Post Office with Mural

Temporary post office on Lake Street with graffiti on boards
The former K-Mart building on Lake Street in Minneapolis was repurposed as a temporary United States Post Office. This temporary station, identified as the Lake-Street Minnehaha Temporary Station, began operations after the original Lake Street and Minnehaha postal facilities were damaged during the May 2020 unrest in Minneapolis. The building's exterior features large murals with the message "LET THE HEALING," reflecting community sentiments following the events. This interim postal service provides essential mail and package services to residents and businesses in the area, supporting the community's recovery and continuity.
