Hello Faithful Readers,

The month-long edition of the Norwood News is out with plenty of Bronx community news you can use. With our July-August edition, are some interesting stories intended to pique your interest.

We first begin in Bedford Park with a tenants meeting involving Ved Parkash, dubbed the city’s worst landlord. Hear what tenants living in his buildings had to say about conditions, which have drawn the ire of city officials. Also, hear what Mr. Parkash had to say of his buildings.

Moving into the pages of the edition you’ll read up on Mosholu Montefiore Community Center‘s respected executive director, Donald Bluestone, announcing his impending retirement. Read about all of Mr. Bluestone’s concrete accomplishments found on page 5.

We then bring you somewhat of an international story happening in Norwood–a man’s fight with a hospital he’s accused of killing his mother. Read Jose Cotto’s story and the great lengths he’s taken to seek justice for his mother.

Of course, the Norwood News won’t be the same without your neighborhood staples–Inquiring Photographer, Neighborhood Notes, and Out & About, all featured in this month-long edition.

For now, the paper enters a sleep mode until August 18 when we release a special Neighborhoods Edition focusing on several Bronx nabes. Check it out.

Until then, send thoughts, comments, complaints to me, David Cruz, at dcruz@norwoodnews.org.

Thanks!
