1971 A warm sunny autumn day, Harvard and around the city, Cambridge, Mass
Look for the hippies and fashionable young women of the day, they are your grandparents. They were/are pretty cool. Loads of great music, some cars were a blast, look for all the VW micro buses.

Thanks. Hung around there with school friends when we were skipping HS. Hippie Haven!

I used to hang out at a restaurant called Hungry Charlie's in Harvard Square back in those days. Memories.....

Thanks for sharing this! One thing that certainly hasn't changed is all the cars trying to get by the jaywalkers! 😄

👍🏿
I did not recognize any building, still standing, in the first couple of minutes especially the clock tower. Where was that? And that corner building completely covered in ivy?
What I find curious is the reappearance of the woman in the coat. If she was a mother, then why was she with different young men at different times in the clip?

[@CyrilAndPriscilla]

The first two minutes is not Harvard--- it's Brown University.

You're welcome! Harvard starts at 2:07 I think. @@CalBruin

The first two minutes isn't Harvard; it's Brown.
