The Fordham Road Business Improvement District is renewing its Fordham Road "Advantage" program, providing the students, faculty and staff of all local colleges, institutions, medical facilities and healthcare training centers with discounts at 62 businesses on Fordham Road.
The program will run from now through July of next year, and all you need to participate is an ID card from one of those institutions. Look for "Advantage" decals in the windows and doors of participating stores, and watch out for the BID’s "Fordham Road Shoppers Directory" at all of the area’s colleges.
For a list of the participating businesses and any further information, contact the Fordham Road BID at (718) 562-2104 or visit their Web site at www.fordhamroadbid.org.

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.
