Dear Fellow Readers,

The latest edition of the Norwood News, publishing Bronx community news you can use, is out at 300 stands across the northwest Bronx. We begin, as usual, with page one and a proposal to downzone Mosholu Parkway, the green pasture that doubles as a roadway. Read what Mayor Bill de Blasio had to say about development in the borough, and get a full picture of his recent town hall powwow from reporter Wendy Joan Biddlecombe.

Inside the cover you’ll find stories on Norwood’s CVS pharmacy primed to closed, according to the big chain pharmacy, an investigation into what caused a garage to collapse in Bedford Park, and a Fordham-based nonprofit looking to turn the lives around for young people. The Norwood News also brings you part two of “Bronx Barriers,” our collaboration with Fordham University radio station, WFUV.

As usual, we have the normal staples–Inquiring Photographer, Out & About, and Neighborhood Notes–all intended to jog the brain and help fill your calendar. So take a look at the latest edition of the Norwood News, and send comments to me, David Cruz, at dcruz@norwoodnews.org. We welcome any tips to help us be an awesome paper.

Til next time!
