Latest Edition of the Norwood News is Out!

Hello Fellow Readers!

The latest edition of the Norwood News, covering all things Bronx, specifically Norwood, is out with plenty of community news you can use.

As all stories go, we’ll begin on page one and our front page story focusing on the upcoming HOPE Count by the New York City Department of Homeless Services, which is still dealing with a major homeless crisis. Read what the count is all about and why it’s been met with controversy over the years.

Turning to the inside pages, we take a look at some glimmer of hope to the topsy-turvy saga that’s the Kingsbridge National Ice Center and Governor Andrew Cuomo’s commitment to the massive project.

Another story’s that gained plenty of traction is the possible eviction of a 79-year-old Norwood man by his new landlords. Read John McKee’s story and why it’s managed to attract so much social media attention.

As usual, we have your regular staples–Inquiring Photographer (expectations of President-elect Trump),, Neighborhood Notes, and Out & About–all intended to get your mind going.

So read the latest edition of the Norwood News, and share thoughts with me at dcruz@norwoodnews.org.

Till 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.
