Dear Fellow Readers!

The Norwood News is out with its latest edition covering Bronx communities. With 24 pages packed into this paper there’s plenty of news to share. So let’s get to page one.

The front page focuses on The Bedford Manor, which opened in 2016 and is already showing signs of decay. A tour by the Norwood News given by one resident shows a breakdown of services. Reporter Joseph Konig got word from the landlord. Read what he has to say.

Other stories include the city Environmental Protection playing defense over poor water pouring out of northwest Bronx homes. We also have a story on Councilman Andrew Cohen trying to find extra parking spots in Norwood. Also in Norwood, reporter Christy Rae Ammons talks to the victims of a bodega robbery. She also has a story on Councilman Cohen helping pledging $5 million to rehab Frisch Field.

Now a break: The Norwood News is once again sounding the alarm for our upcoming anniversary that’s just one week away! NY1 political anchor Errol Louis will be on hand to keynote the celebration. We’ll also present awards to housing advocate Sally Dunford, BronxNet Television host Gary Axelbank, and Mosholu Montefiore Community Center. Tickets are still available!

Back to our regular scheduled program: the Norwood News has once again partnered with BronxNet and WFUV to bring you two special reports. The first is Bronx Connections, which is examining the impact of gangs in the Bronx. The other is Off The Trail, which looks at the political platforms for candidates in local races. Election Day is November 6. Don’t forget to vote!

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