Norwood is a town just outside of Boston that has nothing more to offer the world than car dealerships and girls who believe there vaginas are to be used like turnstiles. If you live in Norwood you more than likely head down to Gus and Donnas every week to get your high and tight haircuts, and then go to Lewis' to show it off to the other townies drinking themselves into oblivion. Many people believe that the water supply in Norwood has some how been tainted because everyone in this town is paranoid to the point of utter insanity. Norwood is also home to one of the classiest streets in all of Massachusetts, Jefferson Drive.(I'm laying the sarcasm on thick here)Seriously though, if you are poor and love drugs this is the place to be. This street seems to have been transplanted in Norwood from some backwater hick-town in Alabama, but these are not the worst of people in Norwood. The worst that Norwood has to offer us are the droves of kids that think they are incredibly tough and will fight for no good reason to prove it. If you don't believe me stop by the "Krayzee Horse" on any given night. These kids feel like they are tough because they have families that moved to Norwood from actual tough towns like Southie or Dot when in actuality they are just over privledge pussies that would not last 5 minutes outside of their fantasy worlds they have created where they are tough low level mob thugs. G-unit shirts run wild in this town, not on the black kids either.

I am referring to
Norwood is located near the geographic center of Norfolk County.
The town's population has remained relatively steady at around 30,000, although the demographics have changed somewhat over the last couple of decades.
Approximately 80% of the population is white, most of whom are Catholic (predominantly Irish, with smaller groups of Italian, Polish, and Lithuanian).
15% of the population is
The remaining population is mainly
Along with
Marshfield ,Braintree , andStoneham , Norwood has traditionally been a bastion ofIrish-American residents, many of whom are justifiably proud of their heritage.
There is a fairly large, and active,
Middle Eastern community in Norwood. Iranians, Syrians, andLebanese are the predominant groups. Norwood is one of the largest towns inMassachusetts with a sizeableMuslim population not to have aMosque .
Norwood does have a Synagogue, although Muslims easily outnumber
Jewish residents at least 10-1.
There is convenient
mass transit toBoston . There are three Commuter Rail stops, Norwood Depot, Norwood Central, and Windsor Gardens.
In addition, the
Forest Hills toWalpole bus traverses Washington Street.
Most Norwood neighborhoods are solidly middle-class with relatively little turnover.
Norwood has one of the highest concentrations of apartment and condominium complexes in the area. Windsor Gardens is noted not only for its train station, but also a large transient population, many of whom are
Indian orPakistani .
South Norwood, aka "The Flats," is a working-class neighborhood centered around the corner of Washington and Dean Streets. Some areas are somewhat seedy; many of the two-decker and three-decker homes look as if they came straight out of
Jamaica Plain orDorchester . I would hardly classify the area as "ghetto," though.
If there is a truly "posh" section of Norwood, it would be the area adjacent to Willett Pond/New Pond near St. Timothy's Church, plus the southern part of Nichols Street (and adjacent side streets). This area abuts the more-affluent town of
Westwood .
Norwood is most famous to outsiders for the "Automile," along Route 1/Providence Highway. Although most Automile dealerships are indeed in Norwood, some dealerships are just across the town line in
Dedham ,Westwood , orWalpole .
The late Ernie Boch, Sr. is famous for spearheading the Automile. His strong accent was a staple in Boston media for years. Example: "Boch
Toyota *, Route One Nah-wood, my name is Ernie Boch, come on down!"
* If I recall, he pronounced Toyota as "Tie-oda"

Once the girls hit a certain age they're sick. They Pick on eachother for rediculus things such as the way they dress, the music they listen to, what class they're in and what side of town they live on. Some people are pretty gay there but others are awesome. Norwood is full of Karma,what goes around there comes around. Ex 1. Your a bitch, your dad gets sent to jail. Ex 2. Your a bitch,your forced to move to virgina and soon become a drug dealer, slut, coke addict, and just one of those virginia wierdos. Ex 3. you start a band and play at bar/bat mitzvahs..obvously people will make fun of you. Another common thing you'll find in norwood would be the 8th grade scandals. The class of '04 was selling knives out of the bathroom as well as vandalizin the school at night. The class of '05 was stealing tests, having parties and then giving out the test. And my class, the most recent was cought smoking weed outside of the science fair. Yeah, norwood is a great place to live.

A term to describe a balding guy. It is based on the Hamilton-Norwood scale of baldness. (1-7 1 slight temple recession and 7 being completely bald) Normally guys will try to comb it over when it gets to a 3 where you develope a "hair island" in the front of the head. At that point only complete losers or those in denial sport the noticeable norwood. These people refuse to shave it off and develope the complete hair "horseshoe" look and look like 45 year old investment bankers.
Man that guy is sporting a pretty bad norwood. He should just shave it all off.
