"The 136-room hotel had been transformed into a pop-up homeless shelter
of sorts, with no staff and virtually no rules. The hotel’s typical
guests had been ordered to evacuate when the protests in Minneapolis
heated up. In their place now were between 200 and 300 previously
unhoused people—no one knew exactly how many—with more arriving each day
to be put on a waitlist. When I visited for the first time, in early
June, residents napped on leather sofas in the lobby using hotel sheets
and pillows. Behind the bar, volunteers handed out chicken fajitas. Food
donations filled the kitchen and the walk-in fridge."
Liberated from a private post.
