Here’s a recap of what happened in our neighborhood last week:

• The stunning Kings Theatre celebrated its reopening with the Queen of Motown, Diana Ross.

A crazy three-manhole fire left many neighbors without power and snarled traffic on Friday.

• And, speaking of manholes, what’s the deal with so many of them exploding these days?

• What will the new restaurant from Café Madeline’s owner going to be like? Think cheese and beer.

Wheated stars in the new comedic cooking web series, Eat Our Feelings!

•  The abandoned real estate of bald-faced hornets in our neighborhood.

• We wondered if parking meters should be suspended when it snows?

• What was the Beverley subway station like in 1958? Like this!

• What do you want the new food co-op coming to 825 Caton Avenue to offer? Let them know on Monday.

• A Stratford Road house is being torn down to make way for a new development.

• Ice skating, bird watching, a Valentine’s Day 5K & more to do in Prospect Park this February.

Yum, roti!

• Comedian and storyteller Adam Wade brought his talents to Sycamore.

Where to go for Valentine’s Day specials around our neighborhood.
