CAMBRIDGE, MA — The future of Harvard Square's news kiosk is in the city's hands, and it is seeking the public's help to determine the icon's fate.

The kiosk was originally built as a subway entrance back in 1928. It was converted to a newstand as 1984, and has operated as Out of Town News since.



City officials are asking volunteers to join the new Harvard Square Kiosk Working Group, which will advise the City Manager "on the vision for the programming, operation and governance of the Harvard Square kiosk and plaza," according to the city.
