• North Amityville Pool Renamed For Trailblazing Tuskegee Airmen Veteran (patch.com) — The Town of Babylon has officially renamed the North Amityville Pool after Major Nancy Leftenant-Colon, honoring the trailblazing Tuskegee Airmen nurse and longtime Amityville resident. Local officials, family, and neighbors gathered October 3 to celebrate her barrier-breaking military career and decades of community service, ensuring her legacy remains a permanent part of North Amityville life.
• Rodney Dangerfield's 'I Don't Get No Respect' Was Inspired by His Rough Childhood (biography.com) — Rodney Dangerfield's famous "I don't get no respect" catchphrase traces back partly to a difficult childhood that began in Babylon before he moved through several city neighborhoods. The story explores how family struggles, anti-Semitism, and early jobs shaped his self-deprecating comedy, eventually leading to Grammy-winning success and beloved film roles despite his rough start.
