Latest Edition of the Norwood News is Out!

Dear Fellow Readers,

Happy Groundhog Day!

The Norwood News, covering the Bronx, is out with plenty of community news you can use! In this third edition of 2017 we bring you 16 pages packed with thought-provoking news items.

As usual, we begin one page and a story we’ve been wanting to cover for some time: classroom space. With Mayor Bill de Blasio announcing the creation of 38,000, parents would prefer to see a school built. And so does local Bronx Community Board 7, which has made it its top request to the city. Read how many seats are needed and whether you think it’s enough.

Beyond the cover you can read up an editorial on what tactics our local representatives in Washington D.C. should consider employing during the Trump administration. You’ll also read about the media’s declaration to President Trump. I would love to hear your comments on this and whether this is the right path to take.

We also bring you a neat feature piece on nightlife in the Norwood section of the Bronx. Is there one? The potential is there as we’ve found out.

We could go on and on, but we rather just show. So take a look at the latest edition of the Norwood News. Also, be sure to read on the paper’s staples–Out & About, Neighborhood Notes and Inquiring Photographer. As usual, send thoughts to me, David Cruz, at dcruz@norwoodnews.org.

Happy Groundhog Day!

Until next time!

David

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. As you navigate this website, please let us know if you discover any glitches or if you have any suggestions. We’d love to hear from you.
