Latest Edition of the Norwood News is Out!

Norwood News Vol. 29 No. 17

Greeting Readers!

After a brief hiatus (depending on how you ask) the Norwood News is back with its regularly scheduled edition of the neighborhood paper covering plenty of Bronx news you can use.

We begin with a story we’ve been following for some time, the saga involving a two-story home on Bedford Park. We bring you up to speed of the aftermath of a fire that impacted the tenants who were in the middle of fighting their landlord in court. Find out how the city is helping to restore the building.

In other news: with the September Primary right around the corner, the Norwood News brings you several related pieces on the election contest. Reader my editorial on why voting should be such a sacred exercise, an Inquiring Photographer that asks voters the importance of voting, and a breakdown of some key races happening in the Northwest Bronx.

We also have our paper’s mainstays: Neighborhood Notes, Norwood News Snapshots, and Out & About, which some neat activities from the borough’s institutions.

So pick up a free copy of the Norwood News at any one of our 300 locations across the Northwest Bronx, and be sure to send thoughts to me at dcruz@norwoodnews.org.

Happy reading!

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.
