Harvard Square isnt what it used to be. Spend any time there, and youre bound to hear that lament. Yet people have been saying the very same thing for well over a century. So what does it really mean that Harvard Squareor any other beloved Main Street or downtownisnt what it used to be? Catherine J. Turco, an economic sociologist and longtime denizen of Harvard Square, set out to answer this question after she started to wonder about her own complicated feelings concerning the changing Square.

Diving into Harvard Squares past and present, Turco explores why we love our local marketplaces and why we so often struggle with changes in them. Along the way, she introduces readers to a compelling set of characters, including the early twentieth-century businessmen who bonded over scotch and cigars to found the Harvard Square Business Association  a feisty, frugal landlady who became one of the Squares most powerful property owners in the mid-1900s  a neighborhood group calling itself the Harvard Square Defense Fund that fought real estate developers throughout the 1980s and 90s  and a local businesswoman who, in recent years, strove to keep her shop afloat amid personal tragedy, the rise of Amazon, and a globalizing property market that sent her rent soaring.
