Yes.  Often cables cheat and don't run a return for
each signal, etc.  (in the belief that ground is
ground is ground, etc.)

WorldCare will have a selection -- probably set
you back a whole dollar!  :-/

WorldCare *used* to be located there.  I.e., the
Katrina relief effort took place out of that
facility.  A few years ago, they moved to the
Keene school (I think the owner of the Silo
building had plans to demolish or lease it -- he
had previously graciously leased it to WC for
a song, IIRC.  One of the buildings there was
demo-ed but the Silo building still stands...)

IIRC, same entity owns the movie theatre across
the street.
