5th Street in downtown Los Angeles - a place where many homeless hang out. The song 'On The Nickel' was written for the made-for-TV movie "On The Nickel" by Ralph Waite. "The Nickel" is a mission located on 5th street. It seems that anyone "on the nickel" would be someone down and out with no place to go.
