Speedway Gas after damage from riots in August 2020.

The Speedway gas station on West Lake Street in the Lynlake neighborhood of Minneapolis stands under a twilight sky. This site was among many businesses affected by arson during the protests that followed the murder of George Floyd in May 2020. While the original gas station building was destroyed and subsequently cleared, the fuel canopy and signage are still visible.
