Thousands of Bronxites celebrated Bronx Week earlier this month through cleanup campaigns, business and cultural events, a festive parade along Mosholu Parkway, and the annual Bronx Ball. Nine celebrities who got their start in the borough were inducted into the Bronx Walk of Fame. The seventh annual tribute went to Hollywood columnist Army Archerd, hip-hop pioneer Kurtis Blow, Sopranos actor Dominic Chianese, the doo-wop group the Chiffons, Latin musician Joseito Mateo, salsa legend Eddie Palmieri, former NBA star Ed Pinkney, former CBS correspondent Daniel Schorr, and a posthumous honor to Latin pianist Charlie Palmieri.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
