Digital Edition of the Norwood News Is Out!

Norwood News Vol. 28 No. 8 Front Page

By DAVID CRUZ 

The latest edition of the Norwood News is hitting 300 locations throughout the northwest Bronx this morning, and it’s loaded with plenty of community news you can use. Here are some stories that can grab you:

  • We begin what’s been happening in the neighborhood’s long running story: developments at the Kingsbridge Armory. Haydee Camacho delves into the story focusing on some folks wishing the Community Benefits Agreement tied to the Kingsbridge Armory Ice Center would have been fleshed out better. Worth a read.
  • Valentine Avenue neighbors are still reeling over the death of a teen who plunged to his death from a rooftop as he was attempting to evade police. The kid was allegedly smoking pot, opening the debate on whether the criminality of marijuana smoke contributed to his death. Both sides weigh in. Our Inquiring Photographer also picks the brain of Bronxites over the subject.
  • We then have the Norwood News’ staples—Out & About, Neighborhood Notes, and our Bronx Beltway feature for you to peruse.

Those are a fraction of the offerings the Norwood News has on hand for this edition. Be sure to check the Norwood News website daily to read up on what’s happening in Norwood and beyond.

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.
