Farewell to Norwood News from Council Member Pierina Sanchez

By PIERINA SANCHEZ
For nearly 40 years, Norwood News has done something essential for our local democracy: ensuring that the people, challenges, victories, and everyday life of the Northwest Bronx are seen and remembered. This loss is personal for me. Norwood News was the first newspaper to write about my first-time candidacy for the New York City Council, helping reintroduce me to the community that raised me, and that I was seeking to represent.

Farewell to Norwood News from Assemblyman George Alvarez

By GEORGE ALVAREZ
For many years, the Norwood News has been far more than a local newspaper. It has been a trusted voice, a community record, and a reflection of the people, families, businesses, schools, and organizations that make The Bronx, particularly the neighborhoods within our district, so special.

Health Check: Low Dose, Big Benefits: Helping Bronx Families Prevent Preeclampsia 

By RAISHA HERNANDEZ
Each pregnancy is unique, and all pregnant people deserve the best chance of three healthy trimesters and a safe, fulfilling delivery. Unfortunately, a serious pregnancy complication called preeclampsia threatens this hope for many families.

On the 25th Anniversary of 9/11 Let Us Never Forget

By CYNTHIA TUOHY
At 5 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 10, 2001, my manager informed me by phone that she would miss a review deadline critical to my work. She rhetorically asked if that was OK. Of course it wasn’t, but through gritted teeth I replied, “Sure, what difference does a day make?”

Then & Now: The Northwest Bronx’s Evolving Development Landscape – Fordham Landing

By SÍLE MOLONEY
On reviewing the various development projects in the Northwest Bronx, ahead of the final edition of the Norwood News, after 38 years, the first thing that comes to mind in some but not all cases is, of course, just how seemingly arduous and protracted they can be. Often surpassing the durations of successive gubernatorial and mayoral administrations, and the tenures of various politicians, hopes are riding high that the billion-dollar Fordham Landing redevelopment project in University Heights will not fall to the same fate as the Croton Water Filtration Plant and the Kingsbridge Armory in terms of duration.
