From the pages to your smartphone, computer or laptop, the latest digital edition of the Norwood News is out with pages of community news you can use.

First up, we delve into the latest stage of the Kingsbridge National Ice Center,  set to be in the home of the Kingsbridge Armory. While developers emphasize the project’s ready to go, and it is, construction may not start until a year from now. (Editor’s Note: While this topic may have been briefly mentioned in another publication, the Norwood News has made an attempt to bring this back to the forefront of the conversation given its lack of mass communication). 

We’ll take you to Decatur Avenue in the Bedford Park/Fordham area where there’s been efforts made to refurbish a lot into a playground, a 20-year fight that’s beginning to rev up again. William Mathis takes a look into that. We’ll also introduce you to Vivian Carter, our new saleswoman who is also a raving history buff.

Over at Community Board 7, a new Veterans Committee has formed that helps military vets seek the help they need to transition back to a normal life.

We also have our paper’s main staples–Inquiring Photographer, Out & About and Neighborhood Notes. If you want to cheer up, check out what Montefiore Medical Center is working on to ease a child’s fear of going to the ER.
