Residents are picking up the pieces in Ferguson, where a grand jury decision has left a community shattered.
Two nights of protests left dozens of businesses damaged or completely destroyed.
The violent unrest stems from the decision not to indict Officer Darren Wilson for killing Michael Brown in August.
At Cathy's Kitchen, one of the few businesses to open in the town, Molly Rodgers says she's using her art to help Ferguson reunite.

Inside, owner Jerome Jenkins says he had no choice but to reopen.
