Sweat-soaked from the intense heat, Forty Indy, a new local band featuring Jarrett Murphy on bass and vocals, Brian Aucoin on drums and Darren Merritt on guitar, made its debut near the north entrance to Williamsbridge Oval Park on Thursday night, June 21. The show, hosted and organized by the Friends of Williamsbridge Oval volunteer and advocacy group, was part of the Make Music New York project, now in its sixth year. The project aims to flood the streets of New York City on the first day of summer with musical concerts anywhere artists can secure space. The event is run simultaneously in hundreds of cities around the world. Last year, there were 1,035 concerts on the first day of summer. This year, according to the Daily News, there more than 35 concerts scheduled in the Bronx, including Fort Indy’s set at Oval Park.

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.
