The University's projected Health Center on Mt. Auburn Street, which threatens all the buildings between Holyoke and Dunster Streets, doesn't phase Jim Cronin at all. Cronin said last night, "We'll stay here until they knock us down."

A report that the restaurant has just completed a major kitchen renovation was also confirmed by Cronin. This equipment is all movable, Cronin explained.

"We've been around the Square for 45 years and we expect to be here another 45," said Jim. "We'll cooperate with the University 100 percent, and the University reciprocrates," he added.
