Plenty of community news you can use can be found in the latest edition of the Norwood News, which can also be found at 300 locations throughout the northwest Bronx.

In this edition we take you to the Jerome-Gun Hill Business Improvement District and Fordham Road Business Improvement Districts, which are engaged in a fight to stem a move by a special interest group pushing for more licenses to street vendors. It’s a tale that spans 30 years, and the Norwood News will give you the low-down.

We also go around the corner from the BID, and to a building still housing the homeless. The rumor mill swirls as folks remain in limbo.

There are also stories on the ups and downs to playing in hydrants, uproar over a juvenile detention center opening in Baychester, and your regular staples–Inquiring Photographer, Out & About and The Bronx Beltway. Be sure to check out all those eye-opening features.

Also, as an early heads up, the July 25 edition serves as our month-long newspaper, as the Norwood News publication will take five and go on a month-long hiatus. But don’t worry, you can still catch up on what’s going on in your communities by logging onto www.norwoodnews.org, and you can always send thoughts to dcruz@norwoodnews.org. Til next time!
