Kmart on Lake Street in Minneapolis with store-closing signs and murals on boarded windows, June 2020.
The Kmart store on Lake Street in Minneapolis is shown on June 14, 2020, with large “Store Closing Sale” banners and boarded storefront windows covered in murals and graffiti. Messages and images painted across the boards include “Love Conquers Hate,” peace symbols, and portraits, turning the facade into a temporary public art surface in the weeks after the murder of George Floyd. Shopping carts remain stacked near the entrance as the store stands closed behind the painted boards.

The Mann St. Louis Park Cinema, a former movie theater, stands closed with a marquee reading "After 25 Years We Are Closing Our Doors" and "Thank You."
The Mann St. Louis Park Cinema, a fixture in the St. Louis Park community, ceased operations in 2018 after 25 years of service. The building, constructed to house multiple screens, served as a primary entertainment venue for residents. Its closure marked the end of an era for local moviegoers. The marquee prominently displays "After 25 Years We Are Closing Our Doors" and "Thank You," reflecting the establishment's farewell to its patrons.
