Metro Transit Bus at Burned Atlas Staffing, E Lake St, Mpls

A Metro Transit bus operates on East Lake Street in Minneapolis, passing the remains of the former Atlas Staffing building. This structure was severely damaged by fire during the civil unrest that occurred in May 2020, following the death of George Floyd. The destruction of businesses like Atlas Staffing marked a significant period for the East Lake Street corridor, a vital commercial and community artery in the city. Metro Transit continues to serve the area, providing essential public transportation for residents and contributing to the ongoing recovery and rebuilding efforts in Minneapolis.
