This “Police Line Do Not Cross” tape was picked up at a protest against the construction of a new portion of Highway 55, otherwise named Hiawatha Avenue, in Minneapolis. The protests over the expansion of Highway 55 came to a head on December 20, 1998. Af. Photo Credit: Wikimedia Commons @Minnesota Historical Society

The police often broke into bars like the Old Crow Bar, but the tunnels allowed the public to escape. Campaigners are trying to stop the development to preserve the tunnels that hold this history.
