Just in time for Black History Month, the Queens neighborhood of Addisleigh Park has been designated our 102nd historic district. Built initially as an exclusively white community the neighborhood changing times (and a few lawsuits) led it to eventually become the home of some serious African-American stars. A few of the notables include Count Basie, James Brown, W.E.B. Du Bois, Ella Fitzgerald, Lena Horn, Joe Lewis and Jackie Robinson.

Noteworthy Television This Week: A Big Dose of Fakeality
A look at some noteworthy television this week:
Love (New York) Songs
A few days ago they gave us a list of romantic NYC movies, and now The Daily News delivers a list of romantic songs. One hundred of them, to be exact, so if you wanted a last minute gift for your valentine, you could make them a mix cd for just 99 bucks and change (if you used iTunes).
Strangers With Candy - The Movie
Finally! Strangers with Candy, the insanely brilliant Comedy Central show starring Amy Sedaris, will be made into a movie. Gothamist loves Amy Sedaris, and is thrilled that she and Strangers co-creators and co-stars Stephen Colbert, who kills us on The Daily Show and Paul Dinello will be writing the script. We pray that David Sedaris can find a role as a Christmas elf or someone who sings the Oscar Meyer song as Ella Fitzgerald.
