Op-Ed: Our Moral Moment

These days, friends here in The Bronx, and all across the country, are telling me that they have stopped listening to the news. I can’t say the same, but in a way, I really do get the reason for that phenomenon.

UPDATE Some Residents in Norwood and Olinville Have No Landline Phone Service Since April 22

After some Bronx residents living in ZIP code NY 10467, which broadly covers the Norwood and Olinville neighborhoods, officially reported a loss of landline phone service since Thursday, April 24, Verizon has confirmed to Norwood News that there was damage to some equipment due to vandalism and they are working to fix the issue as soon as possible. One female elderly resident who lives on Dekalb Avenue by East 212th Street who happens to have a cell phone as a back-up said she recently spoke with Verizon and said her service actually stopped April 22.
