Photo du Jour: Gator On The Wall

September 20, 2009: In all of the 16 or so years of coming to the Border Cafe in Havard Square, Cambridge MA I've fantasized about photographing all the intricate art work (and memorabilia) inside. But the restaurant has maintained a strict policy against photographs.

On a recent visit, I shared this thought with one of the bartenders. He told me, "Go ahead, take a photo. Just do it quickly before the manager comes back." So, I indulged my fantasy and snapped this shot: a mural depicting Alligator Pure Louisiana Molasses.

Photo du Jour: "White Angel" in Harvard Square

Submitted by ptemples on Sun, 10/04/2009 - 11:25

June 6, 2009: For your viewing pleasure--this white angel/mime performs regularly in Harvard Square. Sometime's he's situated in front of the Harvard Coop; other times, I've seen him on Brattle Street. For someone who doesn't move--well, not much--he's very expressive. I've tried googling him, but haven't come up with any details as to his identity.
