All kinds of Yankees stories today. The Times reports on "an extensive beautification effort" reaching into the surrounding neighborhood in anticipation of the first game tonight, while the Daily News has a swooning review of the new stadium on its editorial page - complete with a jab at "a few small thinkers [who] raised carping stop-the-stadium cries."
The NY Post, meanwhile, has a different take.
A police officer was found guilty of second-degree manslaughter today for shooting a drunk driver to death in 2007 while off-duty; the officer had claimed he shot the man to save his own life.
Police have opened a homicide investigation in the death of a Bronx mother of two who died after a friend performed illegal plastic surgery on her last month.
The Daily News has a piece on Lightbox-NY, a photography and film studio making its home in Hunts Point.
More stories coming in a moment when we get some links up to this week's Norwood News.
And the folks at Boogiedowner have posted a list of events going on around the Bronx this weekend: take a look.

i can't believe i agree with the NY Post!
ReplyDeleteas far as the Times story, thank goodness for the Yankees... otherwise the city would NEVER improve things in that neighborhood! maybe if they built a new stadium or filtration plant in every bronx neighborhood we can get housing fixed, parks cleaned, streets paved and painted, street lights fixed, and all the other things that bronx communities have to fight for.
as far as the daily news editorial... they claim they are NY's hometown paper, but at the same time publish an anti-hometown diatribe that ignores the hometown agenda in favor of the biggest business enterprise of all. nice.
