Popeyes on Lake Street, Minneapolis, boarded with graffiti

A Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen restaurant on Lake Street in Minneapolis stands boarded up at night, its windows covered with plywood and graffiti. This measure was taken following the May 25, 2020 death of George Floyd, which sparked widespread protests and civil unrest across the city. The graffiti on the boards reflects messages and sentiments from the Minneapolis Uprising. As a commercial establishment with a drive-thru, its altered state illustrates the significant impact of these events on local businesses along Lake Street.
