Dear Fellow Readers,

The year’s twentieth edition of the Norwood News is out with plenty of interesting community news stories to read and share. We have 28 pages packed full of news from this corner of the Bronx, so let’s start with page one!

Our top story focuses on an impending sewer rehabilitation project that’s expected to make commuting in Norwood even more problematic. The New York City Department of Design and Construction says the project on Bainbridge Avenue near East Gun Hill Road–an already tough intersection–will last upwards of a year. We ask folks living in Norwood what they thought about it.

Inside the cover you’ll read a piece on the plaudits two men received for their heroic rescue of a little girl nearly crushed to death by a train in Kingsbridge Heights. We then head back to Norwood for Jose A. Giralt’s piece on a newly opened, and already popular, mosque. On the politics front, read about Samelys Lopez and Frangell Basora, two candidates vying for the 15th Congressional District seat. 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.

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!
