Harlem on the rise!!! Well, at least it was on Friday night when a plethora of stars came out to the premiere of the highly anticipated film, American Gangster. As we reported last week, the event took place at the world famous Apollo Theater, located in the heart of Harlem on 125th Street. They had spotlights, a red carpet and a huge screen set up right outside so the people who couldn't afford the hefty price for a ticket ($1000 per person, and that was for seats way in the back) could watch all the action going on inside. Shout out to everyone who put this night together. The event was pulled off without a hitch, and we need positive happenings like these in our neighborhoods.
