Bow Stays Open While Fight To Keep it in the Square Continues

When asked what he would do if served the notice today, he responded, "[If] they give me the notice, after a month I'm going to leave, [and] take a vacation. A well-deserved one."

A Man on a Mission

While the proprietors of the Dunkin' Donuts are hoping to return following the renovations, some patrons of the Bow wanted to stop the renovations all together or hope to keep the new rent low. They fear the renovations and possible high rent increases would inevitably drive the Bow from the spot it has held comfortably for over 30 years.

Stuart Rosenberg has been a Bow patron for several years, and as a Coop member he says it was his duty to show the board that evicting the bar was not in the best interests of all Coop members.

This ambition led to a "Save the Bow" rally at the pub, helping to net over 600 signatures in support of keeping the establishment in Harvard Square.

The day after the rally, Rosenberg's friend and collaborator, Jane Aceituno, discovered it was possible to petition to run as a student representative to the Coop board of directors.

The rally had stoked the fire inside Rosenberg to take action, and this culminated in his last minute bid to be a student representative.

With only a week to fill out a petition with 75 Coop members' signatures and their elusive Coop numbers, Rosenberg worked every day to secure his name on the ballot.
