The newest edition of the award-winning Norwood News is out with plenty of community news you can use. We begin in Bedford Park with yet another homeless shelter sneaking into the neighborhood, only there’s a twist: the tenants won the fight! Read up on suspicions by tenants and what conditions were like inside the building.

Switching to lighthearted fare, with an article by salesperson/reporter extraordinaire Vivian Carter on results of the Norwood News survey we asked neighbors to take over the summer. We crunched the numbers and the results were pretty surprising. Definitely worth a read. Next, Jasmine Gomez takes a look at a nifty garden above a Van Cortlandt Village nursing home that’s certainly a labor of love.

Next, the Norwood News carved out seven pages to bring you a Back-to-School section just in time for Bronx students to hit those books once again. Stories on required vaccines, what neighborhood schools are up to, a nifty school calendar, and an Op-Ed from the city’s schools chancellor are available for you to read. Definitely worth reading up.

We also have your faves: Out & About and Neighborhood Notes, worth checking out to line up your weekend. As usual, email worries, musings or rants to David Cruz, editor-in-chief of the Norwood News, at dcruz@norwoodnews.org. So check out the latest edition of the newspaper and share some thoughts!
