Reply to 'Harvard Square was never what it used to be' by GlobeOpinion

Harvard Sq used to be alive and vibrant with cool independent quirky shops and street performers of all types. Today it is dead and corporate.

How is Cicada for dinner? Just googled it and it looks so cozy. How is the Banh Mi?

Many people who can't quite swing Cambridge rents move to Somerville. Anywhere between Davis Sq and Union Sq is great. I live in the Spring Hill Neighborhood which is right between Davis and Union we have 4 T stops, 3 supermarkets, and countless restaurants, bars and cafes all within 1 mile. This area is dominated by tightly packed 2,3 and 4 family homes which is what has made Somerville one of the densest populated cities in the country. There is currently new lab space being planned/built in Davis and Union Sq.

George Howell is not just any local roaster, he was the original gourmet coffee roaster on the east coast and a pioneer in the industry with his first Coffee Connection cafe in Harvard square in the early 1970's. If you want Coffee "from Boston" this is the one that started it all in Boston.

Stand at any intersection and count the percentage of people driving cars doing stupid shit vs people on bikes. Now consider which one could easily kill you. Maybe your focus isn't about safety.
