The Norwood News is out with 24 pages of community news you can use, happenings and other nuggets of information. What’s intriguing about this edition (just coincidence really) is it’s heavily park-related. Makes sense, given all the parks that Norwood has been afforded these days.
We begin with a push to restore some infrastructure issues at Mosholu Parkway, with representatives from the local institutions urging the community for some momentum in getting elected officials to commit to restoring the parkway. Find out what went on at a March 25 community meeting.
One of our more attractive features this edition is a special health section covering news for your health and well being. We show what health ranking the Bronx has, health strides the borough has achieved, how you can ward off shingles, and a neat prescription discount program for those who can’t afford the full price.
We’ve also brought back our letters to the editor section. If you have a letter you’d want to send, please do so. The email is dcruz@norwoodnews.org. Word count must be 250 words long.
Lastly, if you don’t have Saturday plans, stop by the Williamsbridge Oval for the second annual Spring Egg Hunt celebration courtesy of the Jerome-Gun Hill Business Improvement District, the New York City Parks Department and park advocates. The festivities start at 11am.
That’s about it. Be sure to check back www.norwoodnews.org for some more daily stories.
