Last week, The Queens Chronicle reported a small, but important update about Carmichael's Diner. We haven't met anyone who has actually ate there, but the word is that it really was a great soul food joint.

8.10.07 - The Progressive Southside on The Brian Lehrer Show
Follow Up: Blogging the Borough of Dreams
Queens bloggers have been overshadowed by their colleagues in Brooklyn. We attempt to remedy the oversight with Meg Cotner of OuterB and Joey in Astoria, Kel Sawyer of The Progressive Southside, and Steve Tiszenkel of Queens Central.
Which bus route do you use to get to Jamaica Center (E/J/Z)?

[about us]
A photographic journey of observations, development, and the community happenings of residential South Jamaica and Baisley Pond. This neighborhood SO south of Jamaica Queens is not devoid of hype. Well-kept homes with manicured lawns on tree-lined streets have been eclipsed, thanks to the hip-hop culture and negative press that only focuses on drugs and crime. There are upwardly mobile, hard working residents here with purpose and wealth who reside here. New businesses, new neighbors and dreams are planted weekly. This blog will attempt to highlight them all. This is the REAL Southside.
If you are a resident of South Jamaica or Baisley Pond Park, we welcome you to help us tell the progressive story in words and pictures.

Carmichael's was a place with grear soul food, live Jazz on Wednesdays, and a oasis in the middle of Jamaica, Queens where local politicians, promoters, entertainers gathered, ate, and enjoyed the southern hospitality and peach cobbler. King died and the property is presently in probate. Hopefully, as soon as things are settled and only then things will move forward. Gas station across the street was sold and new building now occupies the lot.
Jazz in the basement on Wednesday nights. World class musicians playing in Southeast Queens for almost nothing. I still miss it.
