Mississippi native Floyd Lee and his blues band rocked the Oval and delighted hundreds of residents on Aug. 26 in a concert in Williamsbridge Oval Park. The double-bill concert, which included the CASYM Youth Steel Drum Band, was organized by the Mosholu Woodlawn South Community Coalition with funding from Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz. Another concert featuring Latin Jazz is tentatively scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 19 in Van Cortlandt Park at the corner of Jerome Avenue and Gun Hill Road.

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.
