Alley of Broken Dreams

The Alley of Broken Dreams, as it has come to be named by the local homeless, is a long stretch of road sandwiched between 8 blocks of buildings in downtown. Runaways, addicts, and other homeless come here to get out of the rain, as tarp hangs over ropes overing the strech of the blocks. Despite its size, nearly 100 people can be found here at any given moment, and Kindred who can afford the hit to their reputation have been known to come here to feed. Although, "polite" kindred society would never dare.
Tents and stands of people selling whatever they can have sprung up in the secondary alleys that connect to the arterial one, many with doors to businesses and other buildings along the Alley. People selling cigarettes, booze, bad artwork, salavaged metal, sometimes even their bodies if they become desparate enough can be found in the Alley of Broken Dreams. Cops tend to stay away from it due to the heavy violence and large number of thugs - most assume it is a lost cause.
Several dive bars, and quik-marts have a door in the back that leads to an alley that connects to the Alley of Broken Dreams, and many people wishing to visit in secret will take one of these doors - although they usually must pay a fee for the privelage.
One door in one of the secondary alleys, however, has been tinkered with by the only Ravnos known to have visited Portland. His ability in Chimestry allowed him to shift it to the right, appearing where there is no door, and effectively hiding the real one.
The Tremere and the Ordo have both come to learn the existence of this illusion - which seems to be permanent, and are currently both attempting to secure its location to study the secret of Chimestry. Why the illusion was placed to begin with, is unknown. The building is easily accessible as is the hidden door.
