Bronx Week, an annual celebration of all the borough has to offer, culminated in a parade and festival along Mosholu Parkway on Saturday, June 20.
There was music, dancing, food and arm wrestling all wrapped into one big smorgasbord of Boogie Down fun, despite the less-than-perfect weather. T
he day before, a handful of successful Bronxites were inducted into the Bronx Walk of Fame, including actress Judy Reyes, singer-songwriter Melissa Manchester, composer Charlie Fox, hip-hop pioneer Grand Wizzard Theodore and this year’s honorary Bronxite singer Tony Orlando.

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.
