Dear Fellow Readers,

The year’s ninth edition of the Norwood News is out with plenty of community news you can use. There’s 20 pages full of great stories impacting the Bronx. And as usual, we’ll start with page one!

Our front-page story has Mosholu Preservation Corporation (publisher of the Norwood News), asking a question: what are Norwood’s consumer needs? Norwood residents and stakeholders offered their take at a workshop that happened April16. But read about the needs from those who didn’t attend the workshop. We’ve picked up patterns.

Inside the cover you’ll find a piece on Norwood Councilman Andrew Cohen considering a run for Borough President. We also have a piece on the current Borough President and his latest beef with the New York City Housing Authority. This one concerns a disabled senior citizen who, up until recently, lost his home. Sha-Nia Alston brings you a story on a 13-year-old arrested for carrying a gun. Meantime, Jose A. Giralt brings you an update piece on the city’s consideration to co-locate a school at DeWitt Clinton Campus.

The Norwood News also brings you the regular staples–Inquiring Photographer, Neighborhood Notes, and Out & About. We hope these features make you the smartest person in the Bronx. A programming note on the Inquiring Photographer: the question asked whether Bronx residents support Mayor Bill de Blasio’s run for President of the United States.

So check out the latest edition of the Norwood News. Comments are always welcome. Send them to dcruz@norwoodnews.org or tweet directly to me at @CWEBCRUZER. We’re always eager to read them, and sometimes publish them! And don’t forget to vote!

Keep reading!
