Thornton Park's Urban Rethink creative co-working center hosted the August edition of their collide*scope collaborative experiment. Each month, a small group of diverse interesting individuals is assembled by event curator Anna McCambridge Thomas, and tasked with tackling a significant issue in only a week.

The quartet were charged with developing a new weapon in the war against homelessness, and the idea they came up with was both innovative and provocative. In fact, one audience member became so agitated by the Q&A; that followed, that he had to be escorted out.
