Speedway Gas Station, LynLake, Minneapolis

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 visible, indicating reconstruction or reopening efforts. The station provides essential services like unleaded and diesel fuel, along with a Wells Fargo ATM, serving the local community.
