Curious George gets to stay in Harvard Square after all

Cambridge Day reports on a deal that will keep the Curious George bookstore in Harvard Square, rather than crushed under the weight of the square's incessant luxury chainification.

The actual bookstore no longer exists — just a tourist-trap souvenir shop. The original closed in 2011 and its replacement is all about the brand marketing, not about selling children's books.

Hadn't been there in a long time. It has no soul anymore. It used to be such a cool area.

All the interesting stores are long gone. Unless I'm heading to the Brattle I don't even go to HS any more...

I'm a 1990 MIT grad and about the only place left in Harvard Square with at least a bit of soul is Charlie's Kitchen. Good music on the jukebox, a couple of beers and a stack of double cheeseburgers. Otherwise, why visit the area?

Curious George was considered to be Harvard Square yuppification.

Mug-N-Muffin 2.0?

It could be really cool!

It could look just like a bank but be a coffee shop!
