On This Day In Norwood History- August 27

🕰️ Norwood headlines across the decades: In 1948, the Grow family was ordered to vacate the VFW amid a housing crisis, and a surge in kindergarten enrollment led to double sessions. That same year, South Norwood merchants launched vibrant back-to-school ads. By 1962, a car found in town was linked to the Boston Strangler case, and in 1963, a shopping center hearing signaled commercial expansion. A whimsical 1897 “Talk of the Town” column captured everyday snapshots of local life. #NorwoodHistory
