Thursday ushers in the latest edition of the Norwood News, available at nearly 300 locations throughout the northwest Bronx. This week we delve into a five-year cluster site in Norwood that’s apparently worn out its welcome, according to rent paying tenants. The Norwood News spoke to both sides, who largely feel misunderstood.
We also look at the Stagg Group as it edges closer to opening its three-building complex along Webster Avenue. By and large the buildings are deemed the linchpin to the building boom happening along the northwest Bronx corridor. Hear what residents have to say about the market rate rents.
We also have your neighborhood staples–Out & About, Inquiring Photographer and Business Beat, which features a two-page story profiling the season of shopping along the Jerome-Gun Hill Business Improvement District.
That about sums up this latest digital edition. Be sure to check www.norwoodnews.org for more community news updates.

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. As you navigate this website, please let us know if you discover any glitches or if you have any suggestions. We’d love to hear from you.

One of the homeless tenants has 11 (ELEVEN!!!) children. I’m sorry but WTF was this woman thinking? And where is the father(s) to these damn kids? I don’t understand a society which feels it has the right to bring children into the world w/out the financial means to support them. Taxpayers should NOT be required to support these people and rent paying tenants shouldn’t be forced to live with this crap. And I don’t want to hear that they’re not the problem – they ARE the problem! Keep your legs shut, keep Junior in his pants and don’t breed em unless you can feed em! Very simple!
