Max It Pawn Shop Burned Storefront, Cedar Ave, Minneapolis

Outside the Max It Pawn that was destroyed by fire
The Max It Pawn shop on Cedar Avenue in Minneapolis sustained significant damage. This retail building was destroyed by fires that occurred in the aftermath of the May 25th, 2020 death of George Floyd. The storefront, with its broken windows and charred interior, reflects the widespread property damage experienced by businesses in the urban core during the period of civil unrest. Debris and construction barriers on the sidewalk indicate ongoing cleanup and the lasting impact on the commercial district. This site serves as a historical marker of the events that unfolded in Minneapolis.
