Dear Fellow Readers,

The latest edition of the Norwood News, covering Bronx communities, is out this week! Check out these stories put together by our dedicated interns and freelancers that can get the conversation going across the Bronx. We begin, of course, with page one!

The uncommon fatal shootings of two people in the Norwood section of the Bronx prompted it to be our front page. Read the story of 37-year-old Dwayne Saunders, shot to death in broad daylight. Read what the local commander for the 52nd Precinct has to say about these rarer homicides in Norwood.

Other stories include the elections for the hotly contested Tracey Towers Tenant Organization. Read what two declared candidates have to say about their intent to run. Read why one thinks the board is going in the run direction while the other says things are just fine. Also, we have a story by Martika Ornella chronicling the parking woes felt by Norwood residents. It’s worth a read.

This edition features traffic issues amplifying in Norwood after major construction begins. Also, we have a piece on a push for community groups to take advantage of an underused field in the Norwood-Bedford Park border. Congressman Adriano Espaillat, covering the bulk of our coverage area on the federal end, has some news for low-income Bronx residents. It’s worth a read.

The paper also brings you Bronx Week, a ten-day celebration that makes the Bronx a special place. Check out all the events in the Out & About section.

The Norwood News also brings you the regular staples–Inquiring Photographer, Health Check, Neighborhood Notes, and Out & About. We hope these features make you the smartest person in the Bronx!

So check out the latest edition of the Norwood News. Comments are always welcome. Send them to dcruz@norwoodnews.org. We’re always eager to read them, and sometimes publish them!

Keep reading!
