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.

Among my favorite memories celebrating my Irish heritage growing up on the Bronx was going with my family to the St Patrick’s Parade as a child, marching in the parade the four years I went to Aquinas High School, and the annual Feish at Fordham
University. My fondest memory is what a special day St Patrick’s Day was for our family and still is. Most of all I remember my mother’s best in the world Irish soda bread and delicious colcannon and all the wonderful Irish people.
Happy St Patrick’s Day!
