Dear Loyal Readers!
The Norwood News has come out with its final newspaper of the year! It was a great year in news, which became the basis of our Year in Review story that traveled back to the early part of 2015 and all the stories we’ve chronicled.
The year was filled with a lot of pluses and minuses, as in any year, and we give our take on how the Bronx fared this year in our editorial found on page 2.
Every year has beginnings and endings, the latter being the more sadder of the two. This year Norwood residents said goodbye to Allan Freilich, whose titular store, Freilich Jewelers, has closed after 76 years of business in the Bronx. Read what one well-wisher had to say about Mr. Freilich.
We also have the regular Norwood News features, including Out & About, Neighborhood Notes and an Inquiring Photographer focusing on dirty deeds in Albany.
All this and more in our final edition of 2015. Take a look at the paper, give your thoughts and share them at dcruz@norwoodnews.org.
Here’s to 2016!

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.

Though it’s many years since I lived in the Bronx, I’m always of the Bronx no matter where I live. I love reading your paper online and wish you much continued success for many years to come. A Blessed Christmas and New Year to all!
