I was upset to learn of what appeared to be targeted and discriminatory attacks on Florence-based cultural center Bombyx. While some neighbors are calling the Fire Department to try to shut it down, I live on the block and I have loved the three events I’ve attended in the last year. I’m not worried about noise or parking with community events at the VFW, the Lilly Library, or Bombyx . I’m more concerned with what message it sends when a community partnership to bring diverse cultural events to the neighborhood where Sojourner Truth walked is scuttled by noise complaints.
