The newest copy of the Norwood News is out at your local diners, clinics and stores with several high-profile stories that already has everyone talking. The big story, of course, is the New York City Council voting 48-1 in favor of repurposing the Kingsbridge Armory into an ice skating mecca, capping an often challenging struggle over what to do with the massive property that’s stood vacant for roughly 20 years. To find out who the lone dissenter was, you have to read the paper!
Another bombshell of a story can be found on page 2–the resignation of Community Board 7’s district manager, who took the helm with only five months on the job. Take a look at what happened. Plus news on local holiday light shows courtesy of two business improvement districts and a story focusing on the right way to have a happy holiday.
The latest edition also comes from an introductory note from our brand new Editor-in-Chief David Cruz (that’s me!), replacing news maven Alex Kratz.
So take a look, keep reading and keep getting your news fix on norwoodnews.org.

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.
