The Where House needs to raise enough money by Mon., Jan. 31 –– a “red zone” in real-estate terms –– to remain open. The building’s owner owes about $20,000 in back taxes, according to Casey Smith, who runs The Where House. “We are on track,” Smith said, “but we intend to be around as long as possible.” Smith will hold Where House fundraisers until either there is “no hope or we reach our goal.” Community support so far, he said, “has been great and definitely motivated us even more to do whatever it takes to keep this thing moving forward.”
