That's why I started this thread by asking for an alternative to
"living" since that is already taken. I also said that we'd be very
happy to have an equally ideal one-word synonym for "community center"
since we're more than just a museum. Best of all would be if that word
starts with 'F' to fit our scheme of Festivals / Forum / ???? but I know
that's asking a lot.
