Digital Edition of the Norwood News Is Out!

By DAVID CRUZ

The latest edition of the Norwood News is on its way to a restaurant, office or store near you, loaded with plenty of news you can use.

Our latest offering brings you a timely story rankling many residents—illegal barbecues. Jasmine Gomez takes a look at just why barbecuing is something of a mainstay in the Bronx, despite being prohibited in some parks. We get the city’s side, and hear out the pros and cons. Definitely a community story worth reading.

We then move on to a profile of a storied civic group that’s become synonymous to the Bedford Park community. Read up on the civic group’s humble beginnings and 40-year milestone.

The paper’s neighborhood staples are on tap with Neighborhood Notes, Inquiring Photographer, The Bronx Beltway and Out & About features ready to be read.

So be sure to grab and coffee, click on this link of the Norwood News, and get your community news fix.

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.
