Out of Town News is an iconic newsstand located in the center of Harvard Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The newsstand was long noted for stocking the leading newspapers from around the nation and around the world. Customers, especially academics, would come long distances to get the most recent editions of their home town paper, or of newspapers from parts of the world where important news events were unfolding.
In 2008, it was announced that the newsstand might go out of business because the newsstand's unique function of supplying yesterday's Times of India or Le Monde flown in overnight was made obsolete by the ability to read them online. However, in January 2009 a new owner signed a lease to take over the newsstand and keep it alive.
In recent years, the newsstand has been housed in the former MBTA kiosk, a National Historic Landmark built in 1928 as a shelter for the Harvard Square stop on the Boston Elevated Railway, a precursor to the MBTA.

I really like this one: This is an unusual image of a Jack-o-lantern in a brick fireplace alcove. I took this image facing downward to give it a kind of “elevator shaft” feeling but I think “Brick Oven Pumpkin” is a more apt title.

Keywords: With gas prices so high, in September 2005, Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino got the idea that people in Boston should ditch their cars and walk more. Working with a Boston advertising agency and raising money from local business leaders, he asked a team of artists from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts to fit some of Boston’s statues with new shoes But it's not all about gas prices; the ''Sneakers on Statues" campaign is part of a tourism program. The statues donning special footwear included--Faneuil Hall: Red Auerbach and Sam Adams; Old City Hall: Ben Franklin, Democratic Donkey and Josiah Quincy; Boston Public Garden: George Washington and Make Way for Ducklings; Copley Square: Tortoise and Hare; North End: Paul Revere; and Prudential Center: Quest Eternal. The exhibit ran until September 18, 2005. This was a wonderful, one of kind event. when you visit Boston, you'll see the statues, but not like this!
