Kerry's Corner used to stretch for good distance along the Cambridge side of the Charles. With its multi-family homes, the neighborhood was the natural nucleus for a strong political organization. In those early decided of the century, Harvard had only scattered holdings in the thick think of real estate between chutes Ave. and Memorial Drive. There was some mingling of the two cultures, the ethic lower-class of Kerry's Corner and the richer students of the University.

...Prohibition corner saloon was the closest approximation of the pub, a bastion of masculine fellowship, with free lunch, gleaming spittoons, and an opulent nude over the bar. But what came back after Prohibition was mixed drinking and the thick-carpeted, chromium-cold cocktail lounge. Now, in a reach to recapture some of the old clubby atmosphere, bar-and-grills across the U.S. are making a stab at introducing the English (or Irish or Scottish...
