The latest edition of the Norwood News is out at nearly 200 locations in the northwest Bronx. You can find them at local diners, stores along Jerome Avenue and other neighborhood spots. For this edition we focus on the long-time issue that’s irked plenty of Norwoodians: barbecuing at parks. The 52nd Precinct is now on the lookout, spotting any violators with help from neighbors.
Our other top story focuses on the Fordham Road B/D subway station and Community Board 7’s effort to push for retail space. Read up over the Board’s attempts to make it happen.
Inside you can read up on so-called “swipers” lurking around train stations, a wax museum come to life at a local catholic school and a new food allergy center at Montefiore Medical Center.
So check out the latest edition, leave comments or send them directly to David Cruz at dcruz@norwoodnews.org.

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.
