More than 1,000 people attended the Fordham Road Business Improvement District’s “Go Green Walk,” which was designed to promote healthy living in the Bronx. It culminated in a multi-cultural fair at Devoe Park on Kingsbridge Road. During the event, raffles were held and many prizes were given away, including tickets to Mets and Yankees games, total experience package tickets to the Bronx Zoo, an autographed poster of Giants quarterback Eli Manning and stickers and pencils from the New York Jets. Also given out were gift cards and prizes from many Fordham Road businesses, including 24-Hour Fitness, Gem Pawnbrokers, Nine West and PC Richards.

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.
