Latest Edition of the Norwood News is Out!

norwood-news-vol-29-no-19

Hello fellow readers,

The newest edition of the Norwood News is out with 20 pages of Bronx community news you can use.

We begin with a familiar story: The Kingsbridge Armory. The latest in this poor, ongoing saga is the Kingsbridge National Ice Center’s attempt at wanting to purchase the enormous property from the City of New York. Read about those attempts by the developers attorneys who are using every legal maneuver in the book to grab a hold of the property.

Here in Norwood, we feature a story on the District Manager of Community Board 7, Andrew Sandler, facing the possibility of dismissal a mere nine months from the time he started. Should he go, it would be the fourth person in as much as four years leaving a position that’s by all accounts a secure job. We’ll keep you posted.

Inside the cover you’ll find a story on a Decatur Avenue resident’s perilous parking fight, a familiar Norwood eatery getting a facelift. and DeWitt Clinton High School’s attempt at reversing its troubling graduation rate. Lest we forget, we bring you our paper’s regular staples: Out & About, Neighborhood Notes and Inquiring Photographer.

As usual, we urge Letters to the Editor and feedback be sent to me, David Cruz, at dcruz@norwoodnews.org. Or send snail mail to Norwood News, 3400 Reservoir Oval East, Bronx, NY, 10467. Until next time!

Keep reading,

David

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.
