The Norwood News would not be the same without the popular Bronx News Roundup, showing some love to borough papers as they attempt to keep everyone honest.

Baseball, an impending mega-ice center and now a possible soccer stadium.  As plenty of attention was focused on the Kingsbridge Armory vote by the City Council, New York Football Club and the Bloomberg administration kicked around a possible deal to bring a soccer stadium to the borough, as reported by The New York Times.   Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio is said to have “real concerns” over whether this project can work for a borough.  Still, a soccer stadium can enhance the borough’s image as a sports mecca.

Plenty of political gossip from Bob “Kappy” Kappstatter of The Bronx Times Reporter.  The political rumor mill churns out word of outgoing, seasoned  Councilman Oliver Koppell eyeing the seat of seasoned state Senator Jeff Klein in next year’s race.  Could the rumors be true, Mr. Koppell?

Speaking of Klein, The Riverdale Review continues to delve into an expansion plan by Montefiore Medical Center in Riverdale territory that’s not welcomed by Klein, his pal Assemblyman Jeff Dinowitz and Community Board 8.    The Board’s Land Use Committee voted down the plan for an 11-story facility, saying the nabe has no use for it.

And finally, a piece from the New York Daily News on the release of a study on the lofty plant to convert the Sheridan Expressway into a more pedestrian-friendly spur by creating four exits intended for direct access to the Hunts Point Food Distribution Center tucked all the way in the far southeastern portion of the borough.  While the goal is welcomed by the city and state, it still doesn’t solve the $100 million price tag needed to revamp the road.  So stay tuned.

And that wraps up this roundup.  Check back next week when we have a new news batch from our  brothers and sisters in the news gathering game!
