The Norwood-based Rugged Bear Co. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January of 2011. Many stores, including Norwood's location, closed later that year. Rugged Bear specialized in outerwear and clothing for infants, girls and boys, among other children’s accessories.

What do you think should go in the location? Another clothing store? A restaurant or fast-food joint? Tell us in comments!
