Dear Fellow Readers,
The year’s thirteenth edition of the Norwood News is out with plenty of great community news stories to dive into. There’s almost something happening in this corner of the Bronx, and we’ve captured a good chunk of it. And as usual, we’ll start with page one!
Our front-page story focuses on more additions slated for the Jerome Avenue Men’s Shelter, which will now see a drug treatment center offered to those not housed at the shelter. Read the story by Jose A. Giralt. Read why the move has irked Community Board 7.
Inside the cover you’ll find a piece on a barely publicized plan to bring in unaccompanied children cross the US-Mexico border to a halfway house in University Heights. We also have a piece from Christy Rae Ammons on a newly opened martial arts gym that’s already organizing tournaments. Meantime, Sile Moloney has a story on the first visioning session for Aqueduct Walk.
The Norwood News also brings you the regular staples–Inquiring Photographer, 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 or tweet directly to me at @CWEBCRUZER. We’re always eager to read them, and sometimes publish them! And don’t forget to vote!
Keep reading!
