Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

Since 1963, the National Association of Town Watch has held its annual 
National Night Out (NNO) event to promote crime and drug prevention, strengthen police-community relations and encourage neighborhood camaraderie.

Free NY Walking Tours Podcasts

The Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting has produced a series of free walking tour podcasts to highlight the rich and fascinating history of film and television locations in New York City. 

Downloadable for free from their website and narrated by some of the City’s most notable figures in entertainment, these first two tours will focus on the film and television scenes that were shot throughout Lower Manhattan. The tours will offer insight into the significance of each location—for both New York filmmaking and the city itself. Each approximately an hour in length, the tours are designed to link together, so that they may be enjoyed separately or in sequence.

Tour 1: Tribeca To City Hall
Tour 1 begins in the heart of Tribeca at the permanent home of the Tribeca Film Festival and features such films and television shows as Ghostbusters, Saturday Night Live, Law & Order, Kramer vs. Kramer, Sophie's Choice, Annie Hall, Mo Better Blues, City Hall, Spin City, The Wiz, and the 25th Hour.

Tour 2: City Hall to Battery Park
Tour 1 ends at City Hall right where Tour 2 picks up, featuring such films and television shows as Klute, Patterns, Wall Street, Desperately Seeking Susan, Working Girl, and Men in Black. Tour 2 wraps up in Battery Park at the foot of Manhattan on the waterfront promenade with its spectacular views of New York Harbor—the site of prominent films for nearly a century.

What is the longest English word?

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is 45 letters long and according to the Oxford English Dictionary, “a word alleged to mean ‘a lung disease caused by the inhalation of volcanic ash, causing inflammation in the lungs.’”

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis may be the longest word in the dictionary, but we think Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious will always be our favorite longest word to sing! It’s 34 letters long and according to the 1964 Walt Disney film, Mary Poppins, it is defined as “what you say when you don’t know what to say”.

For more crazy, long words that most of us will never use in our lifetimes and more info on Pneumono-blah-blah-blah go to:
