In this Wednesday, Feb. 4, 2015 photo, a homeless man, foreground, wrapped himself with a blanket, walks past the Central City Community Church of the Nazarene as Jhoanny Guzman dances with Diane Smith, left, dance at karaoke night on Skid Row in Los Angeles. For the 200 or so battered souls lining up outside the aging street-corner edifice housing the church, however, this one will seem neither quite as long nor as harsh as the others. This is "Karaoke Night" on Skid Row. (AP Photo/Jae C. Hong)
