The Bronx newspapers are hard at work delivering some local stories for neighbors in the Boogie Down.  We highlight some in this latest edition of Bronx News Roundup!

First up, former Mayor David Dinkins still not getting love from the city after a move to rename the Willis Avenue Bridge is once again shelved.  The New York Daily News reports that “David Dinkins’-Willis Avenue Bridge” name was featured on the Dept. of Transportation website, but was later removed.

Just in time for Superbowl Sunday, The New York Post has a timely story on an $8 million drug bust in Pelham Parkway, with some of the drugs stored in tiny baggies with the NFL logo.

The Bronx Times Reporter’s editor and columnist Bob Kappstatter has got the goods on some behind-the-scenes battles brewing between Bronx Democratic Party Boss Carl Heastie and Sen. Gustavo Rivera.  The two pols dispute the column’s accuracy, though our buddy Kappy stands by the column.

Parents are going to bat for several teachers fired from Bronx Lighthouse Charter School, according to News 12 The Bronx.  They came in droves at a Board of Trustee’s meeting Thursday night demanding answers.  Board members, however, didn’t answer questions directly.  Word has spread of a possible town hall meeting to further discuss the changes that happened in the school.

And finally an interesting piece from Smithsonian Magazine over the life and times of Edgar Allan Poe.  As many know the prolific 19th century writer lived in a cottage in Fordham, still erect today.  Writer Jimmy Stamp explores Poe’s preference to the borough and his love for the cottage at a time when green pastures were the norm.

And that wraps up this edition of the Roundup.  Be sure to check back next week for another round of stories.
