Latest Edition of the Norwood News is Out!

norwood-news-vol-29-no-22
Hello Fellow Readers!

The latest edition of the Norwood News, serving Norwood and other Bronx communities, is out with plenty of neighborhood news you can use. We’ve packed the paper with coverage on the historic general election, and our take on what lessons may have been learned.

We first begin with a local story on a move by Community Board 7, the all-volunteer civic panel, looking to take the wheel in deciding Bedford Park’s future look. The Board has hired a consulting firm to carry out an independent study on the needs for the neighborhood, home to a hodgepodge of two-story private homes and residential apartment buildings.

Moving inside the paper and you’ll find stories on how Bronx voters fared this Election Day, and the four lessons learned in this election, which will undoubtedly be examined for years to come.

We also have stories on a Norwood charter school gaining a deeper look at the Bronx River’s ecology, a profile on a Bronx veterans group just in time for Veterans Day, and efforts to lift parking restrictions in one Bedford Park neighborhood.

As usual, the paper’s regular staples are here–Inquiring Photographer, Neighborhood Notes, and Out & About–intended to stoke the conversation or get you out the house.

So check out the latest edition of the Norwood News, and share your thoughts on the paper with me at dcruz@norwoodnews.org.

Until next time!

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.
