Mortimer’s Bar: “Stay Strong” Graffiti on Lyndale Ave, Minneapolis

Mortimers Bar Painted Boards
Graffiti art adorns the boarded-up windows of Mortimer's Bar on Lyndale Avenue in Minneapolis. The messages "Stay Strong" and "Twin Cities" are visible, alongside painted fists symbolizing solidarity and resistance. These boards were likely installed during the civil unrest following the murder of George Floyd in 2020, a period of significant protest and activism in Minneapolis. Mortimer's, a long-standing establishment known for its live music, became a canvas for community expression during this time.
