Norah Jones's windows have garnered the songstress more attention than her recent albums! Following the news that 10 windows on the side of her home were approved in her new neighborhood's Historic District, the Brooklyn Paper says the Cobble Hill Association are still trying to fight back. They warn that "at least 70 houses inside the historic district that have similarly windowless walls — so if Jones is allowed to set a precedent, the resulting domino effect could change Cobble Hill forever."
