    My Mom worked at the Bank next to the COOP for over 20 yrs. I used to park in the alley you pointed out, and pick her up after work when I was old enough to drive.
    I met the RAMONES at the COOP at a record signing. I didn't know who they were😂
    I was watching to see if you'd show the Lampoon door. Good memories. Thanks. ❤

    A very enjoyable tour of an area I've spent some time in so I recognized many of the buildings you showed in Harvard Square. Harvard has spread out beyond the area you showed. There are classroom buildings, laboratories, and some fascinating museums. My favorites are the Harvard Museum of Natural History with animal exhibits and glass flowers and the Peabody Museum with the archaeological artifacts and the world cultural exhibits. Many thanks!

    At 23:05 the school library, if I am not mistaking one of the biggest library nation wide. The story goes that a huge donation was given some time then for the expansion of the library but the structure of the building couldn't be changed (ex. the look of the building couldn't be changed/modified), my understanding is that they expanded lower underground I forgot how many floors they added underground as a result of the donation (again, that is the history behind it). Correct me if I am wrong. City-Adven-Tours

    As a longtime listener to the Magliozzi brothers on NPR, I experience pleasant memories to see that the offices of their lawyers Dewy, Cheetham & Howe remain in Harvard Square (2:41 in the video, third floor window). At 5:30, the wooden chairs are of the style known as Adirondack chairs. Also, most U.S. secular universities do not put up seasonal decorations, especially if religion is involved. Also, decorating is expensive. I attended a small school sponsored by the Methodist Church, and I don't recall any school-sponsored displays aimed at Xmas or any other holiday. Some fraternities may have done up their houses for Xmas and Thanksgiving.

    Most Universities don’t really do too much Christmas decorations because of most students and faculty members usually would go home during the holidays.
    Even foreign students would get invited to stay with friends or relative. Therefore, the university vicinities are very quiet with many businesses are also closed during the holidays.
    However, many universities do have a big outdoor Christmas Tree lit up during the Christmas season.

    Apparently there's 3 things not quite correct about the statue. (the statue of three lies)
    1. Sherman Hoar sat for the sculpture as no likeness of John Harvard could be found.
    2. Harvard was founded in 1636.
    3. it was founded by the Great and General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
    John Harvard was a benefactor.
    Also, a tour guide was the one who came up with the idea that students rubbed his left foot for luck.
    Love the video, brings back memories as do lots of your walks. Thank you!!
