With Cub, Target, two Aldi stores and many small markets damaged by rioting over the past week, Longfellow and about eight other neighborhoods have nearly become a food desert.
I consider the loss of these businesses devastating, said Melanie Majors, executive director of the Longfellow Community Council. Besides just the food, theres a lack of retail for diapers, formula, household goods, even clothing.
Many residents of the area shop lower-priced stores such as Aldi or dollar stores. Two of those dollar stores including Family Dollar on Lake Street were destroyed in last weeks looting and violence that arose after George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis police custody.

Rioting has consequences.
Reality exists, as much as Leftist love to claim they can change it at whim.

You mean when we burned the store, the owners got angry? Well, they are just racist.

Not if they have a lick of sense.

There won’t even be dumpsters to raid.
Somalia must be looking pretty good to the recent immigrants from that country. Everybody is trying to make Minneapolis look as much as they can like Mogadishu.
Now all they need are the flies....

To: Salman
If you gave them all new houses they would still end up homeless. New Stores are just another target for another riot.
Self rule is not an inherent talent.
