A St. Paul music venue is reopening more than a year after it was damaged during last summer's unrest.
The Turf Club suffered water damage after looters set a fire inside the building.
"There was significant damage to the club during the unrest," said Andy Holmaas, with First Avenue Productions.
Already shut down due to the pandemic, the popular music venue was hurting. But after looters set fire to the building, sprinklers ran all night, flooding the building and forcing the owners to gut the place and essentially start over.

"It has been an extremely challenging year," Holmaas said.
