As fire and violence have raged through the Twin Cities, Pimento Jamaican Kitchen and Rum Bar has tried to help its community by serving as a pop-up food shelf.
To keep going, co-owner Tomme Beevas said he's had to turn it into something "like a Fort Knox fortress." Beevas' business along Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis has been overwhelmed with volunteers - growing from about seven people standing guard to more than 250 vigilantly watching from rooftops, street corners and alleyways.
The same has happened in neighborhoods across the Twin Cities - from Little Earth to Longfellow - as residents have galvanized after several long nights of worry about what could happen at a time when first responders have been spread thin.
