Star Dragon Restaurant, Boarded Up, Open, Minneapolis

Star Dragon Chinese Restaurant with boards
Star Dragon Restaurant, a Chinese restaurant located at 1540 E Lake Street in South Minneapolis, is shown with its windows boarded up. These protective measures were implemented during the civil unrest that followed the May 25, 2020, death of George Floyd. Despite the plywood coverings, the business remained operational, as indicated by the "OPEN" signs painted on the boards and the partially opened entrance. This retail establishment on Lake Street illustrates the resilience and challenges faced by local businesses during a period of significant social upheaval in the city.
