Empty Lake Street at Hennepin Avenue in Uptown Minneapolis during a police closure at night.

Lake Street at Hennepin Avenue in Uptown Minneapolis is shown at night during a police street closure on June 27, 2020. The normally busy commercial corridor appears largely empty, with boarded storefront windows and murals visible along the block. Minneapolis police imposed weekend closures in the area at the time in response to large late-night car gatherings in the entertainment district.

Photo taken in June 2020.
