Were Genghis Khan to arrive in Inner Mongolia today and hail one of the many buses that take tourists to the province's famed grasslands, he would probably ask for his bus fare back. And maybe not nicely.

...since the 1997 closure of the Tasty Sandwich Shop—a 24-hour mecca that stood for 81 years in the heart of the Square—few such holdouts of gritty, grungy, old Harvard Square remain. Their replacements—fast casual, ethnic fare, and fine dining—speak to an increasingly sophisticated and Disney-fied Square. Some long-time residents wax nostalgic for the old school and, along with students, lament the seemingly inexorable move upscale. Although several new arrivals hint at the promise of a revitalized, unique neighborhood, rising rent costs have left Harvard Square?...
