McDonald’s Hennepin Ave, Uptown Minneapolis: Boarded Service

A McDonald's restaurant on Hennepin Avenue in Uptown Minneapolis operates with boarded-up windows, providing service through a small opening. This protective measure was widely adopted by businesses in the city following the civil unrest and protests that occurred in May and June 2020, sparked by the death of George Floyd. The image shows an employee's gloved hand processing an order at a point-of-sale system, illustrating how retail establishments adapted to continue serving the community. This adaptation reflects the broader impact of the Minneapolis Uprising on urban environments and commercial activity in the area.
