As a cherished part of the Wake Forest community, we are deeply concerned about the potential loss of an integral part of our college experience - The Last Resort bar. This establishment is more than just a bar; it's where we have built friendships, celebrated milestones and created unforgettable memories. It's not just about Thursday nights; it's about preserving our traditions and maintaining the unique character that makes Wake Forest what it is.

The Last Resort bar has been serving students for years as one of the few local bars in Winston-Salem, NC. Its demolition would not only disrupt our cherished traditions but also negatively impact local economy. According to data from National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC), student spending significantly contributes to local economies.

This petition affects all current students eagerly waiting their turn as seniors to enjoy this tradition and future generations who deserve to experience this rite-of-passage. Let us stand together against this proposed demolition and fight for preservation.

We urge relevant authorities and decision-makers at Wake Forest University and Winston-Salem city council to reconsider any plans that involve tearing down The Last Resort bar. Please join us in preserving a vital piece of our college life by signing this petition today!
