But there is no question it's important to those on King Street- it's their rock -Stone Soup is a community center woven in neighborhood roots.
So when the building went up in flames late last night - that community stood together - arm in arm.
Firefighters battled the flames for over an hour last night, residents are thankful no one was hurt as fire officials try to piece together a cause.
For the last two and half years… stone soup has opened it's doors to a downtown neighborhood often struggling to pick up its feet.
It's the home to several organizations including Worcester roots, EPACA, and the earn a bike program.
The members of those programs returned to the center today…confident and united to begin the rebuilding process… it's no easy job.
