Midtown Sheraton Lobby Damage, Minneapolis Uprising

The lobby of the Midtown Sheraton hotel on Lake Street in Minneapolis shows signs of disarray. This hotel, like others in the city, was temporarily utilized to house homeless individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic. After these residents relocated, the building experienced further disruption during the Minneapolis Uprising in May 2020, following the murder of George Floyd. The scattered debris and overturned items reflect the widespread social unrest that affected various urban environments and infrastructure across Minneapolis.
