Latest Edition of the Norwood News is Out!

Hello Fellow Readers!

The latest edition of the Norwood News, bringing plenty of Bronx community news you can use, is out, hitting local restaurants, offices, schools, and parts of Montefiore Health System in the coming days.

As usual, we begin with the front page and two events underscoring fear and resentment toward President-elect Donald Trump, set to take office on Jan. 20. Reporters Deborah Cruz (no relation) and Wendy Joan Biddlecombe hit the pavement to gauge the sentiment of some Bronx residents.

Further in the story you can read a special report on the topic of noise and what can be done to mitigate ruckus that amounts to a lower quality of life. It’s the subject of an editorial that also focuses on the topic at hand.

We also have a stories on doors closed for a beloved Irish bar in the Bronx, the end of an era for the chairperson of a local commercial district, and comfort for once homeless vets during the holidays. As usual, we have all the regular staples–Inquiring Photographer, Neighborhood Notes, and Out & About–just waiting to be read. So check out the latest edition of the paper!

Send comments and thoughts to me, David Cruz, 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.
