A very beautiful, and sensitive production of our timeless, peaceful haven Harvard Square. Growing up in Somerville during the 60's, my brother would take me to Club Passim on the back of his motorcycle and we would enjoy a Sunday afternoon of folk music. During the summer of 1970, the band that I was in had played the Sunday Summer Concerts on the Cambridge Common. We would perform every week just before Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers. I remember when Governor Charlie Baker was a bar tender at a bar across the street from the ole Jonathan Swifts. Charlie was a student then during the 70's. Thank you for producing this celebration of compassion and resilience of Harvard Square's historical and loving strength while progressing through tough times...
Thanks for the great and moving video. I remember my years in and around The Square fondly; thanks for the stroll down Memory Lane. Just so you know: the (correct) word is "restaurateur". As counter-intuitive as it may be, there is no word "restauranteur", there is no "n" therein.
I was a grad student in the education school at Harvard in 2020. I was one of the last people to move out of Cronkhite Hall that year, summer after 2020 graduation. I got to see the beginning of the pandemic and George Floyd protests in 2020.

I was enamored the whole time. Beautifully written and filmed!

I remember seeing Yellow Submarine at the Orson Welles Theater. And selling Phoenix newspapers in the street!

Club Passim!! Nicely done piece. I sure knew the whole area well back in the day ... family friends on Shepard St.
Great video

Is that Robert Foxworth narrating?
The narration is on pompous overdrive!
