Harvard Gate
Originally uploaded by randubnick.
Today we drove into Cambridge for coffee at Peets, then on to Harvard and Coop bookstores, beadstore for me, then lunch at Pho Pasteur. Our routine is rather predictable, but where we park is not. Today we found a great parking place right outside of Harvard's gates. I really liked the pattern, so I took a picture with my phonecam. Does anyone know what the eight stands for?

Mystery solved -- the gate leading onto Quincy Street is called Eliot's Gate (after Harvard's longtime President Charles Eliot, we assume) which was built in 1908 -- and the pic is an 8 inside an 0 to so designate the date.... Stumbled on this through a Googling that led to walking tour description with that bit of trivia in it....
