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.

Very interesting and enlightening discussion Adam. Very personable, and intelligent interviewees. May the dialogue continue, and the citizens of the Bronx continue to be family. Great job Adam. God bless!!! Keep up the good work, and don’t be discouraged.
Enjoyed the topic and the intelligent, personable interviewees. Keep up the good work Adam, reminding Bronxite’s “We Are Family”. Don’t be discouraged in your mission.
I grew up in the Bronx, I went to school with Adam’s brother. My parents are immigrants from Ireland. In my mind the three main Bronx white folks Italian, Albanian, and Irish are very easy on physical difference. African Americans, West Indies, and West Africans (Ghanians from the Concourse etc) is pretty easy on accents and facial features. Mexican and Ecuadorian are similar. But for a white dude like me the hardest is Puerto Rican and Dominican. I always feel that Puerto ricans are lighter and Dominicans are darker, and that I can understand Puerto Rican spanish, but God help me when a Dominican speaks.
