Mainchance

Thought this building partially obscured by scaffolding was another boutique or antique store kind of place...

Not at all, it is a "drop in shelter" for homeless people that offers limited services,
called "Mainchance."

With the recession going on and on, the homeless population of course has increased but a lot of these people head South or West now looking for a softer climate ( climate not so soft in the South these days....).
