Harvard has killed nearly every tree in front of nearly every building they manage downtown. They cut down the fairly mature ash trees in front of Tower 3 before construction and mostly replaced them with dead or half dead trees.

Wow, it's so stark now in comparison. I forgot how mature those trees were. That's a real shame. I miss the store fronts on 12th too, believe it or not.
