Postcards depicting Harvard Square, Cambridge, and the University make for a colorful rack at the Out of Town News stand in the square.

The University and the square have a special feel this time of year. There’s the usual bustle of activity, but it’s a sultry, slow sort of busyness, slow enough for the student, resident, or tourist to stop and smell the flowers, look at the postcards, or listen to the street musician play ‘Summertime.’
