"It's a hole that needs to be filled if we're going to be a really sustainable community. Boy, a community center is such an important part of that," Anthony D'Isidoro, the president of the Allston Civic Association, said in an interview.
"The community spoke loud and clear. I was so impressed with the diversity of the folks who attended," Breadon told Boston.com. "The message was that the community center is an important asset in our neighborhood, and that we want a new community center, and we want programming that meets the needs of our communities."
"My mother depended on places like the Jackson Mann and their programs to provide us with a safe space to be while she worked. I remember doing ceramics for the first time and dancing with my friends to 'Rock with You' by Michael Jackson right in this very room," she said. "Jackson Mann has meant so much to so many."
