Digital Edition of the Norwood News Is Out!

Norwood News Vol. 28 No. 10


By DAVID CRUZ

The latest edition of the Norwood News is out with plenty of community news you can use! There’s plenty to talk about, so here goes:

The big story is on something of a rarity: a stop by a U.S. sitting President in the Bronx. President Barack Obama did just that, spending an afternoon at Lehman College. The Norwood News was there to capture Mr. Obama’s rare event, which detailed the formation of a nonprofit geared towards young minority men.

Heading back to more hyperlocal terrain, we go to Mosholu Parkway, where community residents are hammering out a new vision plan for the parkway. Council Members Andrew Cohen and Ritchie Torres sponsored a workshop that sought direct input from the community, laying the initial groundwork for the key thoroughfare.

We then have the usual items: Out & About, a special Inquiring Photographer on the President’s visit, and of course, the Bronx Beltway, featuring some political stories happening around the area. If you want to get your hands on a hard copy, stop by the over 300 locations in and around the area, primarily the Norwood/Bedford Park sections of the Bronx.

Feedback is always welcome. Send comments/thoughts to dcruz@norwoodnews.org. Enjoy the latest edition. Till the next time, readers!

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.
