The latest edition of the Norwood News is out, only this time we’re bringing the digital publication a day early for the techno savvy to digest. In here you’ll find twenty pages filled with neighborhood news you can use, touching on stories impacting Norwood and beyond. First we begin locally with community outrage over the lack of notice in several park benches to be removed, begging the question: how much notice does the city Parks Department give when beginning maintenance projects? Find out in our top story.

Moving into the inner pages, you’ll find stories on a plan to building Metro-North stations in the East Bronx chugging along, graffiti eyesores and hotspots in Norwood, a beauty photo spread on the Jerome-Gun Hill BID’s Fall Festival and a proposal to keep Kingsbridge from any future rezoning. In our Be Healthy corner learn about what’s new with the flu vaccine, and in our Business Beat find out what one Norwood merchant thinks about Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr.’s plan to institute a grading system on beauty businesses.

Also, your favorite hallmarks–Out & About, Inquiring Photographer and Neighborhood Notes are filled with useful information. So take a look at the latest edition, or if you can until Thursday, Oct. 2 stop by the over 200 locations to pick up your copy of the Norwood News. Enjoy!
