Assessing Twin Cites Riots - 1,500 buildings damaged or destroyed
5-days of rioting, mostly in the evening/night, more than 1,500 buildings across the Twin Cities have been vandalized, looted or had doors and windows smashed. Some have been reduced to rubble, and dozens have been destroyed completely by fire. Others have reported extensive water damage or severe fire damage.
While this is an incomplete list, buildings along a 5-mile stretch of Lake Street in Minneapolis and a 3.5-mile stretch of University Avenue in St. Paul's Midway area have experienced some of the heaviest damage, especially those nearest Minneapolis' Third and Fifth police precincts. As protests spread across the metro, many larger companies with multiple locations have temporarily or indefinitely closed. We will continue to update as we learn more.
Maps attempt to show some of the hardest-hit areas but do not include all recorded damage from this list.

Twin Cities riots were the 2nd worst in US history. The worst, was in LA after Rodney King was brutally beaten by a gang of police in 1991.
