Max It Pawn Burned Interior, Minneapolis

Photo of trash inside burned out building
The charred interior of Max It Pawn on Cedar Avenue in South Minneapolis. This retail store sustained extensive fire damage and was destroyed during the civil unrest in Minneapolis following the murder of George Floyd in May 2020. The structural damage and debris on the floor reflect the widespread impact of arson and property destruction that occurred across the city during this period. The destruction of businesses like Max It Pawn became a visible marker of the protests and the community's response to systemic injustice.
