I just wanted to vent a bit regarding the graffiti problem along Bainbridge Avenue from East 208th to East 206th streets. Do these people graffiti up their own rooms, their mom’s room, their kitchen, living room and bathroom? If so, that’s fine, but why mess up everything outside their own home and ruin it for everyone else in the neighborhood? How do I convince my kids that this is so wrong, when it is in their face, in their building, on their block, all the time? Please tell me this is not a lost cause.

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.
